In comparison to other stock cars, where would our cars, as stock, rank on speed?

what do u mean by speed? like top speed, or 0-60? (i personally refer to 0-60/ quarter mile, as quickness)
there is talk of a limiter at 118 on the ST, and 123 on the GT (IIRC) This topic is gonna be treading on thin ice tho, many of these threads turn into, "well i did xxx in my car" and then it falls under "illegal acts" and gets locked. So just be careful of what u post. --------------------  Kawi Love |

we rank REALLY low...like down by the kia spectra, even that might be faster on the top end.
(my 93' dodge caravan will > a celica in top end + probably the 1/4 mile  )

Acceleration sucks (especially since the 18" rims are installed), so basically quartermile sucks too...but ever since I played with my engine a bit, the max speed fact is pretty nice!
Went about 225-230 km/h (or about 140 mph) last summer whilst going to the seaside for a vacation (no need to say that I was in a hurry  )...satisfying results, I must say!
