Have your opinion on sporty front wheel drive cars...

Don't know much about the Peugeot's because they don't sell here in the US, but over here, at least in socal, the B13 sentra se-r, the EF generation CRX and civic hatch SI's are popular here. There's more but those the most common FWD cars i see.

 

3kgt/Stealth actually compares perfectly with the 4th gen celica.

Base with SOHC Motor (ST/GT 3SFE)
Mid with DOHC Motor (GTS 3SGE)(ES/SL/RT)
AWD TT Terror (AllTrac 3SGTE)(VR4/RT TT)

Probably my favorite car(but I did previously own one) either FWD or AWD.

 

haha it's the Dodge Stealth I believe, rather nice cars.

 

dodgestealth or mitsubishi 3000gt

 

Lol agreed! We do get some nice cars though! Butchehh nothing really american comes here :? I go nuts whenever I see a hummer! :lol:

 

I can't really say as I've never left the country but Holdens are over thur like the monaro as GMs (i think..) I'm pretty sure they originated from Australia but not 100% sure on that

I've seen one of those Australian home brand type adds sayin "muscle cars imported to the U.S"

 

They weigh a ton, but they weren't built for 1/4 mile speed. The wide stance and the high hp turbo'd 6 makes them a heck of a AutoX/Road Race car. It has a little more aftermarket support than the 4th gen, but still very small when compared to alot of other vehicles.

Mine handled great, it was a blast to drive(even though it was a Base Model, just ask Mafix. He was impressed with it.) It just broke all the time, and repairs on that car are not cheap. Deep pockets a must.

 

Same deal with the Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser/Mitsubishi Eclipse, they have the FWD/AWD turbo set-up, and can be wicked fun to drive, but the Turbo's always broke drivetrain. My friends brothers had a Talon and Laser, the Talon had 4 engine/tranny swaps and the Laser had 3

 

these things are notorious for breaking driveline though, much worse than your average car. I'd much rather upkeep an Alltrac than a Talon 4WD.

Haha agreed on the turbo. insurance + tickets + gas = totally broke.

 

Yeah it's not only due to weak tranny internals, but some idiots that think they can launch a 4wd/awd at like a high rpm range are HEAVILY mistaken. That puts much stress on the diffs and tranny, and extremely wears down on the tranny. So essentially, you CAN make a 4wd/awd tranny last, as long as you don't drive it like it's a FWD or RWD car. I guess toyota made the right decision and made durable trannys on these suckas!!!!!!!!

Based on experience, I think i'd prefer the 4g celica out of all other 80s/early 90s FWD cars. Toyota makes more torque than honda does. Plus, Hondas just aren't cool enough haha!

 

even the mk2 gti`s were a fun one to drive...

 

My buddy had a 20th anni Gt1 1.8t...

Some suspension/added boost..that thing handled great!!

 

i drove it....Very fake/light feeling
Clutch was very light
