VVTI was not available in Toyotas UNTIL the USDM Celica GTS in 1997? IS300s have it but they were in 01

Toyota was 15-20 years behind honda.

All manufacturers have different forms of the VARIABLE VALVE TIMING, but Hondas is unique, its a system bred from 20 years ago, and is sTILL the best on the market.

IVTEC hasnt even been figured out completely, but in the next few years youll see pump gas NA 4cylinder making 300-320whp. which is INSANE.

hondas new VTEC dubbed ADVANCED VTEC is VTC on intake an exhaust at all times. essentialy using a version of the BMW system.

BMWs have VACUUMLESS motors, they use pneumatic valves that are electronically controlled (just talking about this todday with big baller).

BOttom line is, Celica GT an GTS arent worth building , too mouch money, not enough gains. The GTS with headgasket an headstuds is a decent turbo candidate, but its expensive.
now that Mr. Kidd said it, everyone will believe it.
