okay so my dad tells me about this 84' or 83' celica gts with the 22re that he had in the mid 90's , im curious if its realistic.
Mods to the car were: Bigger injectors- unknown size cams- unknown grind gear ratio was 5.something (he tells me they were stock) Okay so with this car he says he was running 125mph in a 1/4 mile. i highly doubt that he was running that but thats what he says. what are your guys thoughts? |

I'm afraid to tell you your old man is more full of **** than a Christmas turkey. Your Celica would smoke it. The only thing the third generation Celica has going for it is the fact it's RWD and doesn't have the dorifto tax like the AE86.

The Camaro must've been sick and or had a really bad driver. Though if you're going to drive an automatic the SC400 is a much better car.

QUOTE (Bitter @ Apr 7, 2015 - 7:58 PM)  Maybe 125mph in the 1/2 mile. Off the side of a mountain with a strong tailwind.
