No offense but you have to boost every Honda engine to make decent power.

However, it's no secret that it's easier to find parts and tuning for the EM1 than the Celica GTS.

true but where there is a will there is a way

*edit* you can generate pretty damn good numbers out of the K's all motor(up around the 300hp mark)

Did he know how to drive it? And some info about your Si would help to illustrate.

And also, I am not making fun of you; I genuinely just don't understand what you mean here:

Why is the word suspension in this sentence? Again, no offense, I feel like I'm the one who is not understanding something...

my friend is boosting his gts and i can tell you his parts are easily 3x the cost as a civ. Not only that, finding the stuff isnt exactly easy, whereas I see enough honda aftermarket biz to make my head spin. I thought his stock gts was pretty damn quick tho.

The GTS's have the ability to be just as fast as a EM1, sorry to hurt anyones feelings but you have to boost either one to make power and the GTS will love boost just as much as the SI.

dude. if were talking bone stock and theyre both 2000 youd have to be a REALLY $hitty driver to lose in the GTS. it has way more power all around.
