6G Celicas Forums

The neon engine is sort of the same as the talon/mitsubishi chysler 2.0 non turbo this is not the 4g63 engine. it is rated at 140hp biut seems to be slower than even the 2.0 non turbo 4g63 talon/eclipse engine that mitsubishi made. Maybe the cars are heavyer than in 95-99 than 90-94. But the only difference in the neon engine to the talon and eclipse is the way the engine sits. the talon and eclipse(non turbo) have the engine sitting with the header faceing the front of the car where as the neon has the intake mainfiold facing the front. And yea it is quite slow. I saw a neon atb the trac stright pipe and all stripped out and slicks do only mid to high 14 sec 1/4 mile. not sure about internal works. Still drag racing is not where its at. I have dragged befroe however i think its funner to go 40-50mph only. Well it may not seem so much but try doing that in some curves its funner. But back to the topic you never know who will win untill you do it serious hey the neon might misshift. lol. Atleast you know you can out run him in a mileage test. toyota engines = 200,000+ miles still like a champ. chrysler engines = 150,000 miricle and hanging on every day because you don't know when the engine will give out on you. P.S. I used to own A talon so trust me I know Chrysler/mitsubishi craftsmanship.

Well guys I don't know about making the celica look like the GT-4 but you could make a GT-4 look like a supra. The supra is wider and has a smaller rear passenger window. Besides All wheel drive supra look alike would be crazy go fast but rear wheel drive supra is crazy have fun. Besides the celica already does look closely alike the supra.mk4

"And a GS can take an ST as well. An RS might be good competition for you."

The gs and the rs both have the same engine on 95+ eclipse. You will be able to beat a non turbo eclipse with your celica if it had the 5sfe. with the 7afe you might start side by side. I race a RS for kicks a friend of my cusins. I was driving my ae92 corolla GT-S rated at 115 hp at 6600 rpm could rev to 8000 rpm and 105 ft/lb of tq at 6000 rpm regardless I was able beat him in the launch then he went in front of me about 1 car length then i started cacthing up again. This was up hill. my gt-s wiegths about the 20lb less then a 6th gen st celica. BUt with the 5sfe im sure you cad hand it to him. Besides he let me drive the thing and its not that fast. My gt-s spun more tire than that thing on 1st gear dropping the cluth. any ways if its a RS or GS and you got the GT you more likely than not have a chance if its the GS-T or GS-X then hope you got the all trac celica.

You guys are funny. What does the fast and the furious have to do with street racing. Street racing was around before FF. Besides why limit yourself to just the road course track. There are plenty fun roads out there. It just all goes to wether you take responsiblity for your actions. If you hit a person you sit still and say you hit them when the cop arrives, you hit the gaurd rail you fix your own car. It's as simple as that, besides raod racing test you skills alot more than track. The variables always change in road racing where as in track its almost always the same. Don't get me wrong nothing is 100% safe proof or gaurentee your life. It just takes A stupid driver to make a mistake wether track or street if that stupid diver is there then i guess somthing will happen somthing might not, just make sure your not the stupid driver. Besides stright away proves only two things engine power and shift skills leaving out your cars ablility to corner your own skills and judgment and your braking skills. If you want to drag race leave your money for your engine and don't do anything else. This is all only my opinion it might not go with the belief of some people (of course at times I know you got the erge to want to street race just to get some people po'ed) If you are offended than you might have a bit of a complex and a closed mind for human being (human). But then again Sorry if i offend you.

Besides somepeople might need to actually experiance the terror of (what happens when cars go out of contorl part 1) to know that damn damn things could happen like that if i make a stupid judgement. so let them be. I guess they just don't want to push their cars to the limit at the track where you don't have to care about a cop pulling you over and hitting grandma drivers just the stupid driver. I am not for street racing nore am i against it. Just do what you want and learn from it well if you get the chance.
