I am sure it has been mentioned in here somewhere but I just read the article and they had good things to say. They love the engine, although they mention that they didn't do much to it. Just a CAI and an exhaust. They really worked on the suspension and brought it's skidpad rating from the stock .82g up to .97g. They also tested a Hoskis Celica that got 1.02g. The celicas broke 2 of the magazines records. One was braking distance and the other was slolom speed. The hoskis was 3 mph faster than the previous record in the slolom. Lap times on the road course were right there with much more powerful cars. They were impressed with the car. They said the engine was the best sounding high RPM engine on the market.

I have been taking summer classes working towards my Masters in education. Haven't had time to go online for a while.

Yeah, great article, but don't expect anything more about our car. Apparently, that is the last appearance of Project Celica in SCC. :(

The official quote on the lateral g pull is 1.03 Although Hotchkis said that the average was 1.04, and they pulled higher than that during the day.
