eh...not sure...if it is, then its not much to talk about...doesn't feel like it though...my celica revs faster, and feels quicker I think...the tundra just owns it going up hills, but to get a good launch you have to ease into the throttle, if you step on it, it takes a little while to recognize and downshift, or it will bog a little off the line...so meh...not sure...and oh yeah...1,000th post!!!!!!...hooray cheers goodtimes goodjob goodjob thumbsup

yeah, its pretty strong...I've never drag raced, but I've done a few track days...it definitely handles stock GT's. never raced a GTS 6 speed, but have never lost to a GTS auto, and have beaten a Z71 tahoe, and ripped on a 6.0 escalade...don't know how revelant that is to the tundra, but I know that they owned off the line, but when I hit second I caught up, and by third I was gone...I know that they are heavy like the tundra, and they also have more power...but yeah, its strong, but I'm not sure exactly ( numbers )how fast it is

all of you are lucky guys. they gave me once a dodge neon. i swear i didn't drive it. i had my wife drive me all the time. she loved it given that it's smaller than her truck. everything about it was messed up no power windows , too much unused space, too bulky and too damn slow( automatic). i couldn't wait to get my celiback. boy i was so excited the day it was ready. lol

I get 150 miles a day on the loaner...10 cents a mile after that, and no, I didn't have the money to have them install the clutch and flywheel (TRD japan / fidanza combo)...I had to pay $800 for tuition, and $300 for books today, so yeah...no Performance stuff for me today
