I know right, it took me awhile to get that down, and I still couldnt get it everytime. Now my Wife on the other hand, she would land lift pretty much when she wanted too, LOL.

celicaGT-ST

hmmm.. is that something you really want to share

FutureEcotecOwner

Why not? I can't help that she is 27 and I'm only 23 and she learned to drive a manual tranny car when she was 15 and she is the one who taught me how to drive a manual.

i went 14.6 in mine. bone stock.

FutureEcotecOwner

Really? I've been a member of newcelica.org for about 3 years now and dont remember anyone ever posting a 14.6 stock. Not saying you're on there or anything, just saying I dont remember anyone else going that fast. Nice run by the way.

Area47

i was on there 8 years ago when i had mine.

FutureEcotecOwner

Damn!! I havent been on there in awhile, but have been a member since sometime in 2005 when my Wife got hers.

boltedbalt

okay well from a dig i walked on the car....he pulled a bit but i think shift plus really saved me i was into second before him then half a car then a car and pulling..............then we raced from a roll i won again but only but like half a car...im not sure on there torque but i think that mine saved me in the dig.....so 2.2 modded can walk on celica GT

FutureEcotecOwner

I dont remember, but was his GT a 5spd or auto?

boltedbalt

GT stick...with a no better then decent driver

FutureEcotecOwner

I can tell by the results of the race. Nice win for you.

I'm not TOTALLY familiar with Celicas but those redlines were only true of 2000 Gt-S's... correct? They lowered them in 01 I think.

So of GT-S's... 2000 is the one you want.

I might be wrong. Guy at work had a 2000 GT-S. He told me that.

Off topic...just at CSS.NET in general... I'm kind of curious why we are showing love on the Celicas and always hating on RSX-S and Civic Si's? Similar basic target for car performance using similar means.

FutureEcotecOwner

Yes that is true, that's why I'm glad when my Wife found the GTS that she wanted, it was a 2000. GTS', RSX-S', and new Civic Si's are all pretty damn equal in performance.

celicaGT-ST

oh so true.. my celica is the 2000 model. they actually changed the lift engagement in the 2000 models that were produced after october 99 from 6k to 6.2k. if my memory serves me correctly the last year models were 6k lift and rev limit 8.4k. could be wrong. now to the reason celica's get love and the others don't.. well its very simple. they are hondas and 9/10 of their owners are full of themselves. toyota peeps are understanding when it comes to the limits and what they can beat/lose to =)

just what i have observed

FutureEcotecOwner

I honestly didnt notice you had a 7th gen, I thought you had an older model Celica, LOL. I figured you'd be putting out more power than you are with a turbo and other mods. I know of a few guys putting down 190-200whp N/A. Either way, 230whp and only 2500lbs, you'll be flying away, LOL. Got any pics?

celicaGT-ST

old ones.. i'll see if i can upload to my photobucket and get them on later.. i should be putting out more power. i checked the tune on it and i'm pissed! gonna go back up to the guy that tuned it and give him a piece.

Red06LS

ugh, slow ass ****'s.

My buddy's gf has one and its slow as **** and there is a modded gts in town that thinks hes bad ass and my buddy has owned him more than once in his modded SVT-F.

FutureEcotecOwner

What mods are on the SVT Focus? Stock for stock the GTS should walk all over an SVT Focus, that's if the Celica is a 6spd. Is this guys a 6spd or auto? Either way, it takes a good driver to drive the Celica right. Just so you know, a good driver in a Celica GT is a dead heat for your Cobalt, aslong as yours isnt modded.

rockstar014

guys we are talking about a celica gt here u put a turbo in one of thoes ur car will run like a 15.8 in a Q if ur lucky lol the 2.2 takes it

FutureEcotecOwner

Umm, there have been stock Celica GT's to run faster than a 15.8, LOL. You must not know **** about Celicas. I know of atleast 2 Celica GT's with a turbo running in the 12's and tons more in the 13's.

redninja6r

I had a 2001 Celica. It's been awhile, but I think 2002 was the only year for the 6200rpm lift engagement. They called it the "plaqued '02" because if you shifted at redline (8200) you couldn't land in lift. They fixed it in "03. The '04's went Drive By Wire which kinda screwed things up as well. My 01 was a GT, so I'm pretty rusty on the lift thing since I didn't have it lol. Even though, the car was pretty fun and I loved the way it looked. A 5spd GT should be high 14's though, that much is true, and the slowest of the bunch was an Auto GT-S as was already mentioned. They were dogs. You guys remember Everythingcelica?

rockstar014

yea! right i dont beileve that **** there is no way a celica can run 12s!!! never seen it and prolly never will and by the way my gf has a celica gt soo i know

FutureEcotecOwner

Just because you've never seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Have you ever seen $1,000,000 cash, didnt think so, doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Your g/f might have a Celica GT, auto or 5spd, it doesnt matter, if she can't drive or dont care to mod it than of course you're never gonna see faster times. Like I said, there have been a few turbo GT's in the 12's and tons in the 13's. And there have been a couple turbo GTS' in the 10's and 11's.

Go here: www.newcelica.org and on the left hand side look at the 1/4 mile time thing and click it, then it has a list at the top of each Toyota car and others listed 1/4 mile times. Check out the Celica GT and GTS.
