On a quarter mile at race track X
A ST204 swapped with a 3SGTE 3rd gen + LSD tranny from MR2 (lighter but FWD with LSD) VS A ST205 with a 3SGTE 3rd gen (heavier but AWD) who would normally win? and dont tell me ''well it depends on the driver and blablablablabla''. I'm talking about perfect conditions, who would smoke who? -------------------- |

I gotta say, even tho I own a swap, the GT4 will own the swapped Celica [mod for mod]. You have to give the ST-205 at least a downpipe upgrade and intake upgrade for this comparison to apply - reason being I've not seen one swapped Celica with stock exhaust/intake [granted I've not seen them all either]. Add those two minor [on N/A cars] mods and the 205 will make significantly more power than stock trim.
Another common misconception is that the track has better traction than the street. Depends on the track, depends on the street. Maybe it's just the conditions here in Houston but I can say that the track is not favorable to FWD vehicles. It does however do wonders for RWD and AWD. I've seen swapped Celicas run MR2T's and the MR2 wins both street and track - but the gap is a whole lot wider at the track. I think in theory the 204 should win but in real life I just can't see it happening. The real test would be to have someone who owns both run both so we could reasonably remove driver from the equation. If we could find a stockish 205 here I'd be all down to run him but I wouldn't bet on myself winning. -------------------- ![]() ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
