Stock Celica
 
My good friend who know I know a bit about cars, is trying to tell me his bone stock 2000 celica GTS can run 14.27 @92.5. I said that MPH and ET dont even match and he says cuz he missed a shift.

What do u guys think?

Your friend has his 4's and 5's mixed up in his ET. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Time slip??

Yeah that does seem kinda off. I think I'm even pushing it when I run 14.1 @ 97 mph w/ my car. 92 mph does seem kinda low. But as I said b4...

Time slip.

(or just race him and decide and make an educated guess)

I have come to the conclusion that the Celica has become the ride of choice for some rice folks. Once in a while you'll see a GT-S with lots of bolt ons and tuned well hit mid 14's, but they're easily 15 second cars stock...

I say he's majorly full of it...

Its one of those cars that if you hit 13s at all, you're a God... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

and I'll say it again, Time Slip Please...

In order to hit 14.2 in my 00 GT, I have to be over 95mph. He is full of sh!t.

xspeed02 03-28-2001 02:19 PM

I'd say hes probably pulling your leg Sky. He knows you have a fast car and probably just doesn't want to tell you he's running 15's or so. I know I've never met a stock Celica that ran that fast, or even a mod'd one. Of course there is the the "freak" theory that some cars are just monsters from the factory. But... I doubt it in this case. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

The '99 Celica GT that I once ran had to have been mid 15's at best and probably 16's.

Hey Skyman, is there a lot of crack in Ojai, California. Hope you didn't say... "oh.. really?"

He'd be lucky to see 14s if there was a 100MPH wind pushing him down the track.

at carlsbad I raced a rice car, i think it was a honda crx. he had slicks on it and hardly any interior, he ran a 14.42 at 92mph. so maybe if he had real good traction. whats really sad is i lost to that crap because I couldn't get past the starting line.(spinning away). (another guy on the net said he got a 12.84 with almost the identical combo as mine.)(on slicks of course)(another guy got a 12.99). so your slicks are looking real god sky. I'm getting my clutch and trans next month!!!

Yah but those CRX's weigh about as much as a feather. From what I can tell, Celicas are heavy as a mofo.

I'm 7 feet tall and can shoot flames out my eyes and lightning out my arsh!


In all seriousness them things be slower then an ITR which is ATLEAST 5 tenths (more really) off that pace...

There's some serious wishful thinking going on here...

LOL http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

I know of one guy with a '00 GTS and he has a chip and K&N and he said he still runs low 15's. But then again he said that the top speed of his car was 260 km/h http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif

He told me that I would beat him off the line, but he would smoke me on the highway. I'd sure like to take that challenge...

The celica is a nice clean looking car, and a much better platform to start with than a civic. But lets not get carried away.

Inferno, of course by saying "let's not get carried away" I meant, the Celeca is a clean car, but if you paint it bright green, put a 4 foot wing on it and a 6" tailpipe you wreck the car by getting "carried away".

Same would be true of any mustang.

Just to clarify.

Of course, even though I'd call the Celeca a clean car, I'd still buy a new Mustang GT if given the choice http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif.

New Celica GTS weight about ~2500 lbs and can run 14.9-15.0 stock! I would rather have a Integra Type R or a Mustang GT in that price range!

Funny how all those "freaks from the factory" always seem to be imports. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif

Just glad that I have some legite mods to account for my car going fast rather than "Oh its just a freak from the factory."
