i agree it's a drivers race....
i personally like the looks of the spec V (except for the back) i also like the looks of the celica too, but chose the spec cuz it's more of a bang for a buck kind of deal |

celica
hmmm...i have a GTS and i test drove a spec-V, i didnt think the nissan pulled as hard as the celica when the vvtl-i kicked in. also the nissan has like 170 hp four doors and is heavy compaird to the celicas 180 hp. the celica has way better handling to.:smoker2:

the spec has 175 hp, but also 180 tq, it pulls reasonably good, the specs have cvtc that has a similar concept to the vvt-i, actually, they're exactly the same but have a different name, i'm not sure if this is better than v-tec, some say it is, and some say it's not
spec v handling is pretty good, it's has a pretty fast slalom (better than the type R) but it's not so smooth |

Wassup everyone,
Like he said in the beggining, I'm not here to hate bash anyone or anything like that. My first comment is about who's faster. Well I ran one probably about 2 weeks ago. I'm not gonna lie, I won but not by that much, his front bumper was a little bit behind my back bumper. Also the Celica only weighs about 200lbs less than the SpecV's, mainly because of the engine size, 2.5 and 1.8 is a big difference. The SpecV weighs 2730 and GTS about 2540. However I do agree with the comment about it's a drivers race. I ran the RSX type S and smoked it I don't know how many times. There is already a big debate on that, that will probably never end. Now that car has 200hp and like 139-142torque. But anyway it was deffinately a close one withe the GTS, and it's gonna depend on who is the better driver. Now he might have been a better driver or maybe he wasn't. My next comment is on the HP. Your saying that the SpecV is only producing about 170 to the engine, well the specV and the GTS dyno charts say something different, they were not that far apart hp wise. I'll post back here in a minute with the numbers. The torque is no doubt more than GTS and almost more than any of the new pocket rockets that came out except for the new VW GTI 1.8T/ which has 180lbs as well. I personally haven't driven the GTS, so I can't really say if they pull harder than the SpecV's but I will say this, the handling on the GTS must really be something if your saying that it handles better than the SpecV's..... it's all love here. Peace:alien:

probably the the only pull we get is in first gear against the type R

yeah the sentra does have way more torque, buts like you said its a drivers race. as far as handeling goes, the celica has broken a few records for fwd cars, check out the hotchkis page for some info on it.

Acutally I have raced a slightly modified TypeR. He had me....but not by that much. I was at his back bumper. Maybe your right about test driving one, I might do that this week to just to get a feel for it.

i dont know what is faster but i gave a new gts a run this weekend on rt 332 in central pa, it had all these mods or must have because of the stickers it had on his car. it at least had a exhuast but i didnt help because i still passed him at over 130mph. do the celicas have a speed limiter or are they just slow?

suspecting that guy you raced had a whole bunch of stickers, he is a ricer ( i could be wrong), some ricers also are posers, which means they probably slapped a gt-s emblem on there
the gt-s has crazy high end power due to vvtl-i, so it shouldn't be a problem going faster than 130, i could be wrong, then again u have a gst and we don't know what kind of mods you have in your car |

a stock gts tops out around 140...but 5th and 6th gear are pretty gutless so you need alot of road.i would still take the gts over the spec v because its way more sporty.....if the spec v was a 2 door i would take it.i like my cars to be quik and to look good as well, i think the spec v looks good from the front but thats it.i believe nissan makes supperior engines though. heck...i just want a sylvia!!!
