I don't know if this is a repost, but the mag had some interesting reading material. This is the Japanese vs. USA tuner car shootout or whatever they call it. I only flipped through quick to check it out. There was 1 Celica in the group (guess which one it was) of many amazing cars. It placed 8th overall and 3rd in Unlimited fwd based on lap times, I believe. I think an Integra and 94 Sentra beat it including a Skyline, 360, and Evo. Very impressive to see a Celica up there. Also there was a paragraph about a Turbo Scion TC at the SEMA show.

sport compact car...
i havent bought one of their magazines in a long time... partly cause of their owner PRIMEDIA ruining the whole import tuner magazine feild...
now PRIMEDIA owns every magazine out there and they're all the same looser editors that write crap articles

No it wasn't. It has a Magnacharger and every Hotchkis part available, along with a host of other expensive parts.
