well when I got my celica I didn't think I would like it better than an ITR but................Its a nice car if anyof you have driven one lift is amazing the kick at 6000 rpm is heaven......and the handling is great for having an open diff .........If I were to do it over again I would still get the celica over an ITR......but thats just me. But no way do I think is better than ITR my cousin used to beat me in 3rd drag racing.
