The new Celica GTS is fast!! I know someone who has one, he can burn me & another friend (a 1991 Integra w/ I/H/E & flywheel)
& hang w/ a Prelude (H22A) w/ I/H/E
we all drive sticks & drive OK.
BTW, that was a stock Celica GTS. If you've driven it, you know how good it is; it handles like a dream & is WAAAY faster than our civics. Plus you can use heel/ toe w/ the pedal configuration. It's a real driver's car.
Why don't you guys just go to a Toyota dealer & take a test drive?(can't say 'bout the autos, though- haven't driven 1)

Rep Power: 0 GT celicas are pretty fast too. there are 5 speed GT owners running 14's with intake and exhaust.
all of the celica autos are slow though. the auto gts is a 16 second car probably at best.
now the 6-speed GT-S' like the one i used to own are fast. i used to walk my girfreind's 02 civic lx 5-speed with AEM CAI with no problems at all.
the days of my celica are over though. got something faster, but doesn't look near as good as my celi...
here's a pic of my celica.

Rep Power: 0 Ack... sorry I just coughed up a rice ball. Got downforce do we?
ANYWAY... PLEASE show me a 5spd GT that runs a 14 ANYTHING with just an intake and exhaust. The only person Ive come close to seeing pull that ET off is "inline4" on clubsi.com and even he had more then just that.
And you say you always walked away from a 117 BHP (edit: you said W/ AEM CAI... sorry... 117.3 BHP) Civic LX with your 180BHP GT-S huh? QUICK! Someone call Geraldo, he should do a special.
...on that note, yes automatic celicas SUCK. GT or GTS. In fact most GTS with the craptro...errr sport-tronic manualmatic tranny run mid to high 16s stock. One can only immagine with the GT with 40BHP less runs w/ that transmission. WOOWOO! Blazing speed there.

Rep Power: 0 hey hondaguru, lick my bag. i wasn't trying to be a d!ck like you. i didn't say the celica is a dayum "god of all cars" or anything. i was just trying to put it in perspective what a 6-speed gt-s is compared to a auto gt-s.
i walked a 02 lx. yup, it happened. wasn't bragging or anything of the sort.
but i'll tell ya this, my celi would have handed your @ss to you so you could stick that rice ball you just coughed up, in it.
find you a celica GT running 14's with i/e? oops. i lied. the one in particular that i saw has intake, header, and safc. he ran a 14.7@93.4mph. go over to newcelica.org on the 1/4 mile list and look around for the name maelfyn. let's not forget the other celica GT's running low 15's too. and don't say that the safc made a BIG difference, because they don't. not on a GT or GT-S.
instead of being a total @ss about things, why didn't you just ask for me to prove that a GT runs 14's N/A? why go and talk **** about my ride? actually yes, the car did have quite a bit of downforce. rarely did i have a use for it, but I LIKED IT. why don't you go take a flying leap off a cliff somewhere? you'd be doing the world a favor.

FYI, your celica won't hand Joe his *** in a race any time soon.
And if you think that SAFC doesn't do anything, S2000's get 15Whp from them (and they are pretty strung out, so you can imagine what a less tuned celica could get from one), so if 15hp isn't much, I'm not sure what you consider a "gain".
Edit: I just took a gander at newcelica.org and saw a 15.3 from 2 GT's that only had intake/exhaust and spare removed. One guy had his back seat removed.
The 14.7 you talked about had intake, header, he completely unhooked his exhaust, and SAFC, and springs. Sooo, what happened to just "intake and exhaust"? EVERY other celica GT that only actually had intake/exhaust or less was mid or high 15's at BEST. The cars that were low 15's or 14's had a fair amount done to their cars.

Rep Power: 0 i bet joe is that guy who has that video beating that viper on kazaa. i think i saw that elsewhere on this forum. so the guy spent a bunch of money on a civic hatchback and now he's a god because he runs 12's? i guess if i felt the need to run 12's and become an a-hole, i would have bought a supra or rx-7 and added BASIC POWER UPGRADES. race the celica i had in the twisties, and find out who would have their @ss handed to them.
i liked the way my celica looked. won 2nd place in the wild catagory it's first and only time to a car show. what i did to my car is what I wanted to do with it, just like anyone else modding their car.
UNBOLTED his exhaust. didn't completely remove it. it's a thing that all celica owners tried i think. that means unbolted the axle back. didn't remove anything.
the safc on a celica is good for about 3hp on a celica. that's why i didn't bother getting one for mine.
and to lighten things up a little, maelfyn's car has been deemed a "freak" because he could turn those times in with his GT and based on mods. i've been following the new celica for a couple years, and i read too much and tested too much about it. so don't try to say that since your s2000 got 15 whp, a celica is going to get the same. it doesn't work that way. there are headers out for the GT-S, and guess what? they don't help. there were actually losses in power from it. different cars handle mods in different ways. so once again, please don't try and assume that all cars get the same gains from the same type of parts.
enough bickering for me. i'm gonna hate all honda owners soon based just on a couple. just to clear it up:
1: a celica GT has run 14's with basic uprades
2: a celica GT-S auto is a turd
3: a celica GT-S 6-speed will hand a 7th gen civic lx, ex, dx, etc. it's
@ss on any given sunday.
4: the guy or girl that started this thread more than likely raced an auto GT-S.
5: my WRX is pretty dayum quick! (no downforce hehe)
speed saftly!
(BTW, i don't hate anyone. we all love cars, and that's all that matters to me!)

A) Again, as stated by S2000dude, no, thats STILL not "all" he had.
B) I forget how since ONE car ran this time every other GT is capable of the same. I guess every 99-00 SI can run a 14.9 stock. Hey, yellowcorn from clubsi.com did it and got it on tape.
go over to newcelica.org on the 1/4 mile list and look around for the name maelfyn. let's not forget the other celica GT's running low 15's too. and don't say that the safc made a BIG difference, because they don't. not on a GT or GT-S.

A) No, thats not me.
B) cheesefrog spent a total of ~20K on his hatch (which runs high 10s, not 12s, asshat) INCLUDING the cost of the car.
C) See above. Yu0 (again) = dumbass.
D) Actually my car is set up for auto-x. Bring it, id own you in that too.

Fact is, stock engined slow *** POS' "win" at car shows all the time (hey man i gots me neon lights and strobes, that shoule get my mad points, yo!). You should be proud.

Mission complete.

2. Yes
3. etc eh? How about NO? I, on numerous occasions (while close to stock at the time[s]) assraped MTX GT-S'
4. I dont care, Yu0 still = ricer asshat
5. Well... since the WRX actually puts power to the REAR wheels, Id say it needs a gay *** double decker rice wing about 100% more then your FWD GTS.

Rep Power: 369 he raced an auto GTS.
and er.. I really dont see GT going into the 14s but eh.
the gearing on the celica is yucky.. even on the 6spd.. gotta shift your butt off...
imagine when they take away two gears.... yikes! 1st two gears are the same I believe... the 3rd and 4th are aiyah.
when I raced my friend in his auto GTS I realized what a bad choice he did in getting an auto GTS. my 127 hp car shouldn't be able to beat/hang with his 180 hp car.
(anyway thats a limited statement but yeah)
I can see this thread locking soon though.
