Rsx Type-S vs Celica GT-S

[kingsley]

i think awd will give you better traction and exiting power hitting the corners, which some people will like and which is also what makes the Skyline GT-R successful. You have power going to all 4 wheels of the car, so you're bound to have more turning power.

but yes I agree as well RWD gives you more fun hitting the corners.

AWD is going to give you better traction, no doubt about it. But the AWD drivetrain is going to be heavier than a RWD one. That's just one of the drawbacks of AWD.

What about a CELICA GT-S? How is that, compared to a TypeS RSX?

im assuming you're referring to the last generation Celica here....it's a driver's race at best in terms of speed... but the Celica is the better handling car of the two, more neutral in terms of balance and road feel is among the best in the segment due to its light weight of ~2500lbs.

its an awesome little car

i mean for modding/acceleration.

The RSX has more potential imo. It is equipped with honda's K-series engine, which has great aftermarket support. Plus, seeing as the engine is fairly new, and its variants used in a wide variety of honda applications, it will continue to be exploited and modded for many years to come. It is simply the future of honda, and a great base engine on which to start working.

they're both equally good, although i prefer the Celica for its more aggressive styling, lighter weight, and razor sharp handling, it accelerates just as fast (if not faster) than the Type-S.

the 2ZZ-GE engine has a nice song to it once it hits lift, top end power is impressive. and Lotus is using it in its new Elise as well, so Toyota's doing alot of good by developing it in conjunction with Yamaha. in terms of modding, it responds very well to minor mods such as intake/header/exhaust. the power-to-weight ratio is definitely there .

theres ample amounts of material out there to support this, just take some time to google up dynos or visit www.newcelica.org and you'll know what im talking about.

but that aside, the only proper way for you to decide is to go out and actually test drive both cars and draw your conclusions from there.

u do know the new celica has been discountined since 05. neverless they are great cars, but over priced for a front wheel drive coupe

also, yamaha and toyota has been making engines since the early 80's..

ie. 4age , 3sgte, etc
