the celica GT's engine rev happy? doesn't the 1zz rev to about 6300rpm? and the 1nz in the yaris rev's to 6400 or so? either way, they're within a couple hundred rpm of each other, so what makes the 1zz "rev happy" ? i've owned two cars with the 1zz and neither of them i'd consider rev happy.

Yes the Yaris engine has more low end torque than the celica 1ZZ.
In fact the The celica 2zz in the GT-S has less low end torque than the 1ZZ

The 1zz is rev happy because most of its power in in the higher RPM range. as compared to the 1nz.
