That spirit R/T is an ugly, fugly, nasty looking car! Definitely a &quot;sleeper&quot; that would bust ass at the lights though

Why don't you enlighten us, oh learned sage.

back to the question at hand

If both the '89 celica and accord are ~same in horsepower the manual will be winning if the driver is skilled enough.

The 92 looks better, they didn't go with &quot;all red&quot;, and kept some parts of the body black. But they're extremely rare. But they definitly have a huge sleeper status!

Gibson,

I think that you have those engine displacements backward. The Accord has a SOHC 16v 2.2L and the Celica has a DOHC 16v 2.0L.

I think it would be a close race whith the edge going to the Celica. The Accord, which the EPA classified as a MID-SIZE in '93 (if memory serves,) probably weighs 400-700 pounds more than the tiny, sub-compact Celica. If you guys ever find out (on a closed track, of course ) let us know!

2.0 Eclipse weak? Compared to what? An Eclipse turbo? Yes. A Mirage? No way! I've test driven the base Eclipse and it was plenty powerful (gawd, even somewhat fun) for every day driving.

Yup, saw another car thread, and had to chime in. (Am I a not-junior member yet? Argh)
