The integra R motor would have been awsome there. The celica has not, under any test driver turned over sub 7 that i've seen. The engine is peaky, sure. It isn't a bad car, it just isn't woth the interest people give it.

It's 0-60 is above 7 (not cool)
Oh yes thats it, i guess I AM the only 1 that knows how to race. :roll:

Look at #'s 6,8,9-13. I hope thats proof enough for u Mr.fox.
Notice the -Power Adders- section is blank meaning stock form on that forum.

i dont know, i find it hard to beleive that a car with intake, exhaust, headers. flywheel, and LSD was only .02 seconds faster then "stock" i just think they didnt write down what they had done. notice towards the bottom they actually wrote "stock" next to a few cars. also notice the fastest time is a 13.5..... thats with a turbo, slicks and exhaust!!! that time right there makes me beleive that car is doodie. do the same mod to a gsr and your in the high 12s.

Actually, the gears were so well matched to the engine, they left the gearbox alone, but reworked the engine electronics and such for a little more power. That, and the ultra light weight of course .

I think the Celica needs to be given more interest if anything. Some people consider it a " gay " car, but thats stupid. It's a very light and pure car, which is uncommon these days. That in itself is worth some hype.

The guy pulling 14.0 in his stock celica obviously knows how his car works, knows when 2 shift and knows it in and out.
It is relatively easy 2 make a stock celica outperform a mod’d celica cuz it solely depends on the DRIVER and how well he knows his car.
If that is not enuff proof I drove to Birmingham, Alabama about 2 weeks ago to see the weekend “show.”
There was a guy with a 2000 Eclipse GT that ran a 14.67@ 98mph. I caught him and asked wat he had
Mod’d in his car in order to make that kind of run. He told me he was bone stock and I asked to look in his
engine bay and he was bone stock. He told me he’s been racing his car ever since he bought it so he knows his car perfectly.
He knows when to shift and where to shift at wat time.
So that’s proof it depends on how well the driver knows his car.
People that drive and race their cars everyday would know their car perfectly and completely.
I read the instructions of the site’s forum and it said to leave the “power adders” section blank if ur car was
stock so the guys that actually have mod’s will have that space entitled to put wat they have and not clutter space.
The guy that put stock in the power adder's section doesn't pay attention
2 wat the sites say, therefore, he's an *****.

the driver is huge in the car's performance. I know that not many people can turn over a factory rated run in the RSX, mostly because of how and when you shift is not what you are used to, especially not in a honda. The gearing and torque band are odd on that car, odd in a good way, but i hear people all the time complain they can't get under 6.5 in their RSX-S's, and i know guys who can drive that car sub 6 stock. The driver is big, sure. Celica is not god's gift to performance cars.

low-class society.

i'm going to ignore that.


And i agree with DJ, those numbers are almost too good to be true because they are.

I generally think that an eclipse or RSX-S would be better for the dollar, perhaps even the mustang V6 is more performance to the dollar.
