Celica GT vs. RSX

[Morpheus XIII]

Click my Toyota icon and check every stat page for the Celica GT-S. You won't find anything about it there. They would have put that in the Comparisons part of their site against the RSX, but there's nothing. But just to be sure, I am going to take a trip to the dealership soon to try it in a GT-S.

Have you calculated the hp/lbs and torque/lbs for both fully loaded base RSX and Celica GT? That should help give you a much better idea who is on top. Celica have virtually no rear space. Reminds me of my experience sitting in the rear seats of a Supra. At least a 6 feet person can get by sitting in the rear of RSX.

I don't know about you, but I never let people sit in my 2+2 anytime anyways. I doubt larger rear seats make a huge selling point for enthusiasts willing to modify their cars, in any case.

You know, I just thought of this and had to add this. Concerning the upscale models of these cars, no RSX lovers are willing to point out that the jump in power from the GSR came almost directly from the upped displacement to 2.0 liters. I know many Honda owners love to brag that their 1.6 or 1.8 can easily take on the beastier domestics with types of technology like VTEC, but it seems like they are keeping quiet about the growth in engine size for both Civics and Integra/RSXs.

Those 2 rear seats are suppose to be emergency use anyways.

With Honda you will always find people talking about hp/L. You can pump out 400 hp out of B16C and B18C all motors. However it requires a lot of money. I am talking about port and polished plus a ton of work that's involve.
