The problem with having a Celica is the fact that it looks so darn fast. So fast that every Tom, Dick and Harry who has a sports car wants to take there chances with you. It's even hard to pass any sports car on the road because they just don't want to let a Celica go by. That's why people it is a must to get your cars as fast a possible, decieve the person you are passing or is willing to pull up next to you and rev there engine. Make them think that it is stock, or you just have some rims on it then...blow them away. How does anyone else feel about this?

See, anyone in Quebec City knows that a celica looks pretty but ain't fast. The thing is being said everywhere I go.
".....sad it isn't fast, though.....blablabla" |

I had some guy talk to me at a carwash. He asked if it was fast or just looked fast. I told him for now it gets me there, but later its gonna fly.
He had a 91 Firebird with a V6 that he said was a V8. He revved it up and i laughed at how ****ty it sounded.

Yehp. I've beaten plenty of cars though. I like this car though, chicks dig it. Especially exhaust/intake/looks combo just get the girls crazy. I had this guy this weekend....twin turbo RX7 tell me I had a nice ride...I told him I could spuz in my pants over his. He's like "Do it man!" lol. But yeah, some kid in a 95 grand prix says he races me all the time and brags ot his friends ot make look like a bigshot and says he wins everytime...yet I've enevr raced him. I was skeptical cuz our cars are fairly slow...but I beat him...so yeah our Celica's our slow not that slow! I only lost to an Eagle Talon TSI by three car lewngths...i have auto he has manual and i had him until h got to third.

I had some guy at the emissions test station ask me how fast my car was, then he dared me to do a burnout after my car passed. Yea I peeled out nicely, but I wasnt about to tell him how slow my car was. I have people pull up next to me all the time wanting to race just cause Celica's look fast, but I dont bother cause I'll get stomped if I try to race

Okay... I've never had someone rev on me in all my years. Maybe it's just where I live, or maybe it's becuase the celica is intimidating, but nobody ever revs on me!

My car is slowly but surely evolving into a fast ace car. I refuse to let it just look fast. Of course I, like many others, can not just piss away money. The process is slow but always progressing. Till then I'm going to enjoy my phat ace ride as should all 6GC owners

i talk to some local people and mostly i get the same response. "no respect for celicas (AKA smelicas haha)" this comes from people in Vtech honda/acuras, DSMs, WRXs, probe GTs
 etc.. but i talk to them a little more and tell them my plans and they say "ill have some respect for that one then". kinda makes me laugh, i always kinda shrug it off and say "yea makes for a real good sleeper if the guy has looked at celicas before. Toyota just didnt do the car any justice." its cool though, i love the car, im the one driving it, thats what matters. and i have yet to find a car with a more pimp interior. all its missing is the yolk and id be pullin some made loops and death spiral descents

LMAO, yea the 2 probes are my best friends, we trash on each others cars all the time
the one is real quick and the other one looks SWEET (actually they both look sweet). its kinda the same thing though, i have no respect for probes, but those 2 i do. its nice to be able to say our STs can beat their base and SEs w00t!!!

yea, i often just trick ppl into thinking it really is fast by droppin the clutch lol nothin like goin into 2nd from 4th at 45 mph to get someones attention. but i HATE the rev limiter, i know that extra few rpms would make a lot of difference. but just add a 3sgte to the equation and u look really fast and are really fast! the system works!

Toyota did do it justice, they just didn't bring it across the pacific. Too bad they never introduced the GT4 here - although they are pretty much available everywhere else.. They are such fun cars to drive (I drove one for a week in New Zealand - it seems the japanese dump their used cars and ship em off to AU and NZ - saw a bunch of Supra's there too  Used but damned low mileage, the one I drove just had 40,000 Kilometers on the ODO (around 27,000 Miles I believe)..
