I sure hope those are coilovers, because if they aren't he has no chance in hell of getting over a speed bump. LOL.

OK. On page 140 of the May issue of Road and Track there in an ad for the Pace cars of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. One is a '03 Matrix with BBS 19 x 8.5 alloys, and a TRD supercharger on the 2ZZ pumping out 247bhp @ 7400 rpm.

My only question is why isn't TRD pushing this kind of stuff for the Celica. They should be sending out flyers or calling Celica owners to see just how big the market is for something like this.

Anyway!

Both look like ass to me. Leave it to Toyota to put out an awesome sport compact like the Celica and promote modding that peice of **** Matrix.

I like the Matrix myself, but this looks like sh*t. Why anybody would want their car to look like this is beyond me. F*cking retards

same reason why the celica shouldn't be carrying the GTS badge. that's reserved for fast cars like the Viper.

and in case some people didn't get it...that's a photoshopped pic! nobody's car actually looks like that. although the hood scoop was done pretty realistically...

also, considering the amount of body modification from the original corolla it was based on, it's more like a big hatch than a small wagon.

Yea but you know it won't be long before some nimrod decides to do it. Any car that slammed looks retarded as f*ck

it's the same thing. ran almost same times. except one has pontiac dealerships to worry about, the other has toyota. it mostly comes down to the looks. and vibe doesn't have the GT 180hp model in auto.

lol vodox, i was thinking the same thing. No one else mentioned it so I was confused. Thought it was music from an advertisement or something. strange!!

Alright...

1. If the Matrix had a TRD supercharger on a 2ZZ-GE that is a GOOD thing! That means they WILL have a kit for the Celica.

2. The Celica had the GT-S name badge LONG before the Viper was even conceptualized.


I would LOVE to have a Matrix. I think I might buy one after I move to FL. It give Toyota kudos for trying to mix the SUV with the sport market. Think about it for a second. It has the ability to haul sh!t around, and still be fun to drive when you want to reve the piss out of it. Can you say that about a highlander, or an Escape? No.

I think the Matrix XRS sitting next to my Celica GT-S in the garage would be a nice site.

wait ... so the vibe doesnt have a 180 hp version in AUTO ... but im assuming they have it in manual ? ...coz thats what im more concerned about...

vibe is only in 6-speed manual for the VVTL-i 180hp version...

and i'm pretty sure some other car had to have had GTS before the celica :) either way, the Viper came and stole it. too bad. :p

as for the theme music... :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

HEY t2000gts!!! well the music neva came on for me but my download accelerator pops up and gives me somthing to download and it looks like the address where you host all of your videos? and it said it was "tv themes - unsolved mysteries" and the address is http://subzero.mine.nu/files/tv%20themes%20-%20unsolved%20mysteries.mp3 isn't that your website? Is it suppose to be somekinda inside joke?
