Hey guys, my celica is abnormally quick. I shift at 5500 typically but I just changed the clutch and my car takes off like a bat out of hell. I know I was driving it slipping before and it makes a difference but my other car is a 1982 camaro with a 350 and 345 horsepower (net) under the hood. I bought my celica from some kid who had the engine rebuilt because he blew it up and it has maybe 20k on it now, i've only driven it maybe a thousand miles.but everyone talks about how slow these cars are stock, mines really not. Had a friend pull it apart and he said the car isn't stock and as far as he can tell. He owned one for years, a 5th gen though and he said it's nowhere close to his. But all I can tell it has is a cold air intake....what the hell could they have done when it was rebuilt?ported the heads maybe?

The 5S has torque.
It makes it feel faster than it really is.
I fresh rebuild done right does help though.

My camaro has 420 ft/lb of toque. Trust me when I say this thing is pushing more than it should be. I know torque very well, I used to camaro to tow the celica home when the clutch blew XD.
Something is just...different. Haha It's messed up when I wanna drive this over my camaro, something about it.

Small world, I absolutely hate driving the Celica because it's a slug and am buying a F-body to replace it.

Make sure you don't buy one with a 305. Such a dog of an engine. I'd trade you if I could, you would love mine. Completely customized. Got offered a 65 impala in a trade, think im taking it.


I was booking 90 in third, wouldnt consider that slow....
