nothing against Toyota, I love the marque, but the GT-S is not going to compete with the GSR...too heavy and fragile...even if it was the same weight...

Yeah just like I said, the 7th gens looked great on paper, but Toyota would have been better served by continueing to import the 3SGE engines in all the newer body style Celicas. This engine is still availible in Japan and produces much more power than US spec 1.8 liter engines, but US emissions requirements have kept it out of this country since the '89 model year. I have a JDM 1st gen 3SGE at my shop, and combined with it's JDM ECU produces 160 hp, verses the US 135 hp rating.nothing against Toyota, I love the marque, but the GT-S is not going to compete with the GSR...too heavy and fragile...even if it was the same weight...
