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?

Mine will do 80 in third before it touches the red line, just takes forever to get there. Probably some 10 seconds to hit 60, versus a 4th gen F-body that'll do it in half that. So comparatively, the Celica is slow. Compare the Celica to a Yugo and it'd look like lightning in comparison. All about perspective, and seeing that every car I've owned before the Celica has been faster that makes it ungodly slow for me.

Also the LB9 with the M5 isn't too bad. Though if I'm going to go older I rather just go ahead and get a 79-81 model.
