it's on this months edition of R&D. The celica had the best lap time and reviews from the writers at R&D when pitted against the lancer,focus svt, dodge neon srt-4, nissan se-r, civic si...and i believe some others i am leaving out. the test was done at a track at hungtington beach and the celica (equiped with only the trd action package,trd struts,springs, and 18" wheels) got the best lap times than all the other cars posted above that some were equipped with Turbos and lsds!!!...it is curious why the rsx-s was not in the mix...would the outcome be different? the whole idea of the race is how far these cars can be pushed with factory options only...

The RSX-S pitted against a celica with suspension mods on the track would not be a very fair test.
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.

Does anyone else see why the Celica won the handling hands-down?
It's the only non-economy car in that bunch. All the rest are just econo-boxes that are modded to be "sporty" trims. Of course modding a true sport-compact is going to produce better results than modding a factory-modded economy car.
I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you
