Please dont qoute me on this, but i think the fastest FWD car in the world is a 6th gen celi. I remember seeing it in a popular science article. I am not 100% sure on this, so if anyone has anymore info, please post.

I pretty sure that the HKS 6th gen Celica was the first FWD car to break 8 seconds but for the fastest FWD car is or was recently Lisa kudro with a Saturn ion that broke 7 seconds. And for a celica to run 8 seconds i bet that it was far from a celica any more

still need a manifold, fuel pump, greddy e-manage, and oil lines / water lines |

yup..thats the beast!! n it is rwd..it didn win yesterday tho..although it ran 8's.. it didnt win cuz most of the runs he would start loosing control, so he would jus lay off the gas..unlike some other idiots who would lose control, get control of the car again, n then punch again..caused 1 of the dudes in an Rx-7 to flip his car like 8 times n a lexus to smack against the guard rail. Im happy this driver didnt push the celica after loosin a bit of control, or else i wouldve cried if he crashed it!! but me n him were the only two 6gc's at the show/race..kinda made me feel proud. thnx to everyone for the congrats BTW.
