Celica boy wants to race me

[fireredGST]

I raced a GTS on the highway, walked him badly about 5-6 cars from a 60 roll to 110.

 

[ldstang50]

dude WTF are you worried about!? he barely breaks 15s stock. you ran low 15s stock. the only way he can beat you if he's done the 3sgte 4wd motor and tranny swap, but i HIGHLY doubt he's done that

 

[clownface]

should be getting my car all the way back together today, ill race him this weekend most likely if not tonight.

 

[1993eclipseGS]

So did you ever race him? I know the celica gt's arent quick, I drove my friends 00' and it wasent very impressive, maybe i'm just useto turbo who knows. I raced a celica gts w some mods w. my old 90 gst and i beat him. I dont think you hafto get to worried about it

 

[RiceKiller_TSi]

Make it a fair race tonight by turning your boost down.

Hey to make things better for you..i just raced my buddys Celica GTS 03 with intake and exhaust, carbon fiber hood, etc just 4 mins ago. He said he was pushing around 220 Base Horsepower with all his mods. Well..the outcome? Heres what happened..i never use to launch my car before (i know stupid me..i didnt know how untill i read a post on dsm tuners forums about launching a manual)..i would just let the tires spin and so on but this time i actually launched with me revving at 3500 RPM..and bam i beat him by 6 1/2 cars. I lost him way out of site in my rearview mirror after 3rd gear. Youll whoop his ass believe me..that celica boy that wants to race u will be making a big mistake if he doesnt have descent amount of mods done to his car..if hes stock or if he has just an intake exhaust, and all the basics, hes in for losing bus legnths to u. GO GET HIM!!!

AND YES..im still stock. Today was my first day feeling a little better from the surgery i had on monday so i was like hmmmm..why not go for a race.

 

[tamadx]

Yeah race him on the high way at like 45 to 50 if he is moded and once the vvti kicks on your in his rear view mirror. Sorry to say that on a dsm forum but i am jsut telling you from personal experience. 2002 gts with intake exhaust cams on the high way burned my friend. at a stop no prob but those things have high end power.

 

[senseiturtle]

The celica's powerband is a matter of 1000 RPM's wide, accompanied by the fact that it's pushing NA 4-cylinder torque levels. (i.e. not much)

I'd believe 14's from a bolt-on GTS and decent driver skills, but I wouldn't expect very high trap speeds.

 

[revision27]

id hate to keep beating a dead horse but celicas are slow. my two friends raced, one had a celica with intake, exhaust, and some other little crap the other had a STOCK 4 door accord. the accord beat him from a stop, roll, etc. i dont give a crap about vvti or vtec crap you are gonna walk his ass badly from wherever you race him. man i drove celicas before and even their top end sucks. when that vvti thing kicks in it doesn't pin me back in my seat like when my car hits full boost.

 

[clownface]

I raced him a while back, it was sorry, i won big time. It was from a stop though but from how bad i beat him i dout he would have won from a role either.

 

[Mr96GSX408]

my buddy's 00-02 celica gts is pretty quick...

ran 14.0 @ 105 spinning his tires on first gear
beat a srt4 with slicks + some other mods at the tracks on video
he has the xs engineering turbo kit pushing 260ish hp / 180 torque and his car weighs 2500lbs...

i give his car much respect

 

[GST1011]

I work for toyota and can tell you that those cars as slow as shit... you will have no problem beating him from a launch or a rolling start...and you don't even need to worry about the VVTi-L because by the time that kicks in, u'll be atleast 3 car lengths in front of him....Goodluck

isn't it VVTL-i ?

 

[clipise]

all i gotta say is that there is at least 1 fast celica. its the older body style i think early 90's. its the celica all trac. its a AWD turbo celica. my friend has one and he ran a 13 flat w/ a boost leak. all he was is a full apexi n-1 exhaust, afc, hks bov. i think is was stock boost. he got the engine from japan. thats one celica i bow down to.

take it from someone who use to own a 2000 celica GT-S 6 speed

yes people HAVE run 14.3 with just intake.. so whoever said it was false.. guess what its true.. because one of the FEW owners who have done this was a friend of mine i always use to go to the street races with.. but keep in mind it was a Injen CAI.. none of the AEM CAI users seem to come close to the feat.. its rare for someone to do this but it can and HAS been done..

the fastest mag time ive seen stock is 14.9.. and yes that too can be done a hard feat but has been done.

go to newcelica.org and u can see slips or just ask who actually did it and most people there know who the "fast" ones are..

stock for stock.. if u race a GT-S from a stop.. WITH AWD.. u will win if u get a decent, good launch.. if u bog.. u will lose. if u go from a roll.. u will lose.. and if u win regardless of a good bad bogged launch or from a roll considering if ur BONE stock.. then the celica driver needs to drive..

2500lb car with 180hp. not bad..

(yes they are not as easy to drive to its max because u really have to shift fast and stay in the "lift" mode.. dropping out of the cam willl hinder precious .00 secs..

a 7th gen celica GT-S 6 speed is averaged from a low 14sec car to a low 1ow 15sec car.. depending on mods and driver..

but guess what.. so is any DSM with a t25 .. AWD or not.. so as long as u got that t25.. u are vulnerable to lose..

now just race man.. u should feel more superior because u got turbo and AWD.. he's prob the one nervous to race u.. it seems like right there he already has the upperhand.. its gonna get into ur head..

EDIT: looks like u raced him already good job..

pretty quick hahahahahah
should be faster than that with a turbo kit, what a joke

 

[armorforsleep]

come on dude, you should rip him a new hole. not a fan of the new celica's at all. looks ok but still ricie. all tacks are the only ones i could respect. very fast and awd. my buddy has one very nice. find a alltrac to race and see how you do loose or not. would be fun

 

[swing lo]

GT-S celica's can be quick if they can stay in lift the whole time there shifting. When my 90 tsi was bone stock, i raced my buddy's 00" gt-s. He just had an injen cold air.

I beat him from a stop many times obviously, but he was only a car and a half behind. He took me everytime we ran from a roll though. Top end, the gt-s's are quick. I will say this though. My boy used to work at toyota, and everyone will tell you that the 2000 models are quicker than the 02's. I have 3 friends, and they each have gt-s's. One had an 02, which redlines at 7300, but the other two have a 00' and 03" which redline at 8300.

If he can drive good and land in lift through each gear, he will take you from a roll, but from a stop if you drive that gsx good, you should have nothing to worry about.

Think about the power to weight ratio:

Celica's, 2500lbs w/ 180hp.

GSX, 3200lbs w/200hp give or take, i'm not sure about 2g's, but you guy's get the point.

Stop=win

I know a 00" and a 03', the 03 is running 14.5 with injen cold air, and TRD axel back exhaust. The 00" gt-s runs 14.7 with just injen cold air. Injen makes more power than the AEM cold air as well.

not to mention that they fall out of lift everytime u shift them..especially the 02's and up cuz they get rev limiter 1000 rpm earlier

Only the 02's have the 7800 redline. 00,01,03's climb to 8300.

 

[1fast97gsx]

did you race him yet you ####y? Celicas are slow pieces of shit and if you lose I will kill you.

 

[clownface]

uh...yeah, i did, read back a bunch of posts. Anyway since this got brought back, we raced at that local strip to, his best run was like 9.7 or something in the 1/8, mine was 9.2.

 

[DSMeclipse4G63]

a awd dsm with luggage and a full car of people has better top end then a modded celica....
Andrew

ps if you cant get 15.0 or better..out of a stock dsm thats in good condition then you need to sell your dsm and buy a hybrid or something.

 

[eclpsegsx12]

wow, this is old....anyways, i hung with a modded gts........

IN MY MOMS HYUNDAI!!!!!


of course i would have had the gsx out but it was undergoing the conversion..
