Actually you are wrong . . it has 180 horse.
I did a little reaserch and the Celica GTS is superior to the SI in almost every area except price.
Link 1
Curb Weight of GTS = 2500lbs for manual transmission. Almost as much as my car . . . .
6spd Manual Tranny, 180hp/130lbs . . .
Clicky
Link 2
Curb Weight of SI = 2782lbs
5spd manual tranny, 160hp/132lbs . . .
Clicky
Now, this TRUE information i have just posted shows that the Celica GTS has 180 horsepower, a 6speed transmission, and weighs LESS THAN a 04 Civic SI.
Now, if this car WEIGHS less than your car, Has MORE POWER than your car, and has SHORTER GEARING than your car, how is it slow??????
BTW, it may also entertain you to realize that the GTS gets better gas milage than your car does . . . .oh, and it looks better.

GT, i think the info from the manufacturers website suggests the GTS will outperform the SI and be about even with the RSX . . . .
