celica gt-s

[RayRay]

I was reading the latest issue of Sport Compact Car and I found this one article, the Celica Bash. They tested 4 celicas. What caught my attention was that 2 of them were quite fast. Their times for a "stock" 02 celica were 15.4@89.3mph. I heard these are the slowest ones cuz the 02's have a lower rev limiter.<BR>Their project car with intake, exhaust, and suspension ran 14.8@95.5mph. I guess the suspension helped it launch. Another one with a clutch, suspension, exhaust, and a stripped interior ran 14.8@95mph.<BR>These cars seem pretty quick. I hear they really shine on the highways cuz of the lightweight and big cam. I heard somewhere they can pull [stock] WRX's on the highways. Okay enough babbling, I just wanted to share that with everyone. =)

celica's are decenty fast...they actually are heavy (so I've heard)....and they are extremely hard to put boost to them...an ITR<---(integra type r) could still pump it...I like the look of them though

The Celica GT is 2300 lbs stock...thats lighter than ANY MX-3 or Protege.<P>The GT-S is NOT MUCH heavier, proabably 2450....still lighter than the ITR.

If so, thats at least 40 lbs less.

I've heard that they were heavy by alot of people...they still can't be boosted without alot of trouble ...11:1 compression
