Toyota Celica GTS 2000-2004 Specifications
Horsepower: 180 @ 7600 rpm
Curb Weight: 2500 lbs


2006 GT

Horsepower (hp @ rpm) 263 @ 5,750
Curb weight, mfr. claim (lbs.) 3,472

This is how if always done a rough estimate on who would pull harder.. but this little formula could be totally WHACK...

HP / CW = the number of horses per pound (more horses per lb the faster it moves!)

2006 GT: 263/3472 = .0757
2004 Celica GT-S : 180/2500 = .0720

I dont know if this is a good determination... but based of that the GT stock should pull harder.
 
LOL. Yea, kids like that have ruined me hanging out with Street Racers on Saturday nights man...I can barely stand to hear it. Nobody knows everything when it comes to cars...so don't act like it.

EDIT:

Nice work. Kids like that deserve to be demolished.

/EDIT

good kill but i would have expected more then 1 1/2 cars? thought those celicas were sloww? must be wrong.
You're not...Celica's suck balls which is why they got dropped for fuckin' Scions. Horrible.

GT should wipe the floor with these things, but good kill man

thanks,
LOL! ya thats what he kept calling it.. he said "VVTi is toyotas VTEK. " :p
 
raced a couple. beat them. but then there are also a couple turboed ones in my area.. for some reason my area likes to turbo shit. And they push 280 to the wheel -__-
You sure they aren't all-trac's for a few years the celica had an all-trac trim that was AWD Turbo

i know what a vvt is,its similar to the mivec but WTF is a vvti ? variable valve timing intake ?
vtec = honda
vvt = chrysler/dodge/mopar what ever you wanna call it
vvti = toyota
MIVEC = Mitsu

but if you really wanna break it down they are all just variable valve timing

ok i gotcha.on a side note,mazda has the vvt but ford has there name all over it lol.on the mazda i owned,it said ford on the brake calipers,oil stick ect..and yea,i was very surprised to see ford stamped on a mazda.maybe thats why i had so much trouble getting warrantee work done to it :runaway:

Yeah Mazda/Ford are in bed together. Just like we are with almost everyone except Mazda, and Ford. Thats why if you look under the hood of a Ford Probe you see an MX-6 engine
 
now that ive read this it makes me think...most people with Celica gts, r like hondo people!!! all bark and no bite!!! lol...nice kill@!!!
