6G Celicas Forums

honestly, i think you will def have him off the line, but i def think he will leave you on top end.. i have a 03gts.. they dont have ungodly power or anything, but they are pretty damn lightweight... either way, celica vs celica, neither ones a loser:)

Of course the GT-S will take it on top end the GT tops out at 125.

if you have a turboed 5s u should def beat him. u have a 2.2L compared to a 1.8 he has the better head but thats nothing compared to the turbo

my money is on the turbo

If you shift good then you got this. Turbo is gonna kick ass.

oops

ok guys i already beat once so yeh ill beat him for his rims so yeah just wait anf see ok tomorrioe ok it be uptomorrow 0k

Dude, just take your entire body off and just leave the frame. That will shave like 800 pounds.

And the outcome...

ok we raced but it wasn't a real race it was just a you run and i run ..but yeah tomorrow it will be the real race.. im sure it will just another civic like thing...haha lol ill post it up tomorrow..video..ok guys

i'll be waiting for the video

Umm.... just going out on a limb here.... call me crazy.... BUT THEY ARE BOTH JAPANESE!

And guys, why does everyone think variable valve timing is the craziest thing ever. The worse thing is you all seem to think toyota's vvt-i and vvtl-i is the best variable valve timing out there. If no one noticed toyota was actually late to the whole variable valve timing game, atleast here in the US. Honda's vtec is just as or better then toyota's, and nissan just has it, they dont boast about it and put emblems all over their cars and engines... its just there. Everyone here needs to stop thinking toyota is the god's of car making, YES I agree toyota makes a great car but its not the only maker that does.

And vvt-i, vvtl-i, vtec, what ever fancy thing you want to name it will never give an engine anywhere near the power gains of a turbo... Example: 3s-ge had like 175hp, then got gains of up to like 20-25hp in its final stage in the altezza with vvt. And 3s-gte's have always had over 200hp and were up to 250hp with no vvt.

I agree with Chrobis, Toyota isn't he greatest thing on the planet. That's not saying that they are a bad company. As far as styling, I think they've got just about everyone beat, but the tecnology just isn't what others have. Funny how everything is so reliable though. Maybe it's just the performance side of things that they're lacking on. You have to go to Lexus before they sell any real sports cars now.

On a different note, I want to hear how this went. Who won? What's the deal? If it didn't happen yet, when is it going to? I'm actually pretty exited about hearing this. Keep us posted man!

And Lexus still doesn't give the performance Japanese Toyotas have.
