I had a 87 ST, and that was a fast, zippy car. I had to sell it and now i bouht an 95 ST. I assumed it would be faster or at least the same speed. However it is slow, a 87 is much faster in accelaration. Do I have a probelm with the engine? Or is this just the speed of the 6th gen STs??

Aye... however, their auto tranny gearing sucks ass, so they're only 17 second cars. Also note, there are slight tuning/ECU differences between the various versions of the 1zzfe. The celica would have probably the most tuned between the Corolla, Matrix, and MR-S. All of them, aside from the Matrix and Rolla have different HP ratings. A 7th Gen GT, I'd say, is slightly quicker than a 6th gen GT because of the engine design and how they deliver their power. The 5SFE's are pretty flat beyond 5k or so... As for my ST... heh... i'm not gonna make any crazy claims, but I did run a 16.7 (which is the rough average stock GT time) with bad tuning and exhaust leaks (one at the header and another at the muffler). Not making excuses, so I'll just post a timeslip perhaps in the near future after my exhaust leaks are fixed and the rain stops. I'm currently too busy. I also do have a readily available 5SFE powered car to compare against... so i'm not just making blank comparisons like most others... ;] -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
