Are you sure about that? if this car get beat by a toyota camry in any aspect of performance and cost more $$$$$ are you still going to buy the car because is not about numbers?, be my guest. Hey but don't confuse my statement, I’m in love with it, but if this is just going to be a copycat of the 2000-2005 toyota celica gts it will be a miserable failure . Im very sure that many members are driven by the same fears that i have, remenber is not the first time that a high praisse car fails one is on the market. Again i'm hope to be wrong, but why so much mystery about real driving numbers?????????

I used to like exhausts but I will never buy one for this car. I rather buy the tips from the JDM model. I don't need exhaust drone with no hp increase that I can't feel.

Or a sig drop in weight? If I could lose weight with a new exhaust and gain some hp I would be all over it. Sound is not my main factor.

Plus this car drew inspiration from other cars in its heritage which some people don't care for, but to me, it's a sweet bonus.

Ugh... I'm not sure. Apparently the poster has an issue with stoplight drag races against Camrys in his neighborhood. There's nothing worse than a 75 year old grandmother screaming "Aventura muther f**ker" while she blows past you.

Why? My GTI had a similar setup and I liked it. It sounded great in the cabin without being obnoxious to everyone else. Is there some performance benefit to removing the tube? I have no intention of doing an intake or exhaust on this (or any other engine mods, for that matter). I'll probably leave it stock.

Why does everybody think that this car will be slow? In a drag race maybe but not on the track. It has low power but its a momentum car. It will force you to learn how to drive and get the most out of this car. I think if you can keep up the momentum with this car it will fly.
