like i said, i test-drove a new rx8 and damn that car is a monster around 4500rpm...
i havent had the chance to ever drive a sports car like that before, but at $29,500 theres noway i'll own one for another 8 years! but how does a 2nd or 3rd generation 3sgte swaped celica compair? yes, i know the engines are 2 completly different formats* and that rotary engine is a thing of beauty, how it sits right between the front wheels, ect...
just wondeting if i could get the warm and fuzzy feeling i did in the rx8, for about 6k in my celica?

i drove an rx8 before. they are nice cars. i was really impressed with the handling and ride quality. its much better in that department, then a celica.
as far as power goes, it lacks torque and you really have to wind the gears out to get the car to do anything. the 3sgte has more power and its an instant kick in the but, when the turbo kicks in.
go out and drive an evo or sti. thats a much better way to spend 29grand

so the 3sgte celica has more torque, because of the turbo right? is there a 6speed transmission for a celica swap?

i have an RX8 and i am not a fan of rotarys
the ride is increadable, hwne your doing 150mph it feels like most cars at 80
but the power just isn't there and the motor doesn't like it if you try to give it to it
i hate rotarys
but my celica is still not as fun to drive even with 20k invested in it, but it is definately quicker than the stock 8 was.... for now
but on boost that RX8 came alive, it just didn't stay alive for long

I drove one when they first came out. Not sure what's changed in them but I remember liking the interior a lot but definitely needing more oomph. I drove an Evo 8 right after that car and it was the exact opposite. Great power, crappy interior.
