Please help me, questions about my 99 gt Options

[V-celi]

Alright everyone. This is my first post and i have some questions to ask. Yesterday was the first time i drove my celica because it had some rear end damage that had to be fixed when i bought it so even though i have had it for a month and a half i only drove it once on the street. I dont know if all celicas are like this but when the rpm's went over about 4000 the car felt extremly weak (its a 99 gt) and i thought it would pull stronger because i owned a 94 st before so i was expecting a noticable difference, but like i said i was dissapointed. I also want to ask anyone with a 99 or maybe a 98 gt to look in your trunk and lift up the carpet, on the left side right behind the seat there should be some wires that go underneath the car through a hole. on my car the peice sticking out of the metal is a plastic peice that looks like a tall U shape and one of the u tubes has wires going in but the other one doesnt have anything atached to it and when i started the car i heard noises coming from the peice so i cheked it out and the empty tube was sucking air in. Is there supposed to be something attached to the tube.

Please respond with any info you might have, thank you

first thank you everyone for responding. the tube in the back does have something to do with fuel because the wires underneath are connected to a box that has hoses going into the fuel tank. once again i ask any gt celica owner to look underneath their carpet in the trunk and see what is connected to the tube, on my car only one of the tubes has wires running from it the other is open and for some reason was sucking in air last night but not tonight and it still pulled the same.the tube i am talking about looks kind of like a long thin U shape. please look under the carpet, you only have to lift it up you dont have to take anything of.
also the car has much shorter gears than my 94 st did. in second gear the st went about 61 mph when it red lined but the gt went only about 54. is this normal. i know you guys are saying the gt doesnt pull strongly on top end but im pretty sure the celica st pulled stronger than the gt, i sold it to my friend so i actually drove it to the shop to look at my car. plese respond with the speeds of each gear that you experienced in your own gt so that i get an idea of whats up. thanks a lot
