how cna u lose to a celica man, its just not right!!!

 

You race one and get smoked stock. Don't hate since my buddy is stock. I'm stock too.

 

Since they raced from a roll, Celica had advantage cuz of its lighter weight(2500 lbs ), and VVTL-i with close ratio gears. They have problem staying in VVTL-i from 1st to 2nd gear, but after that, they can stay in the sweet spot all the way. Your friend's WRX is stock, right? Tell him to race the Celica again from dead stop. WRX should be able to beat the Celica if he knows how to launch.

What?! You're not going to mess with any RSX type S or Celica GTS? Come on! Have higher expectations for your car! Slap on a MBC(if you don't already have one) and have some fun with either one of those cars. For instance, I'm not afraid to race with Camaro SS. I know I'm gonna lose eventually, but I usually stay ahead up to around 80 mph. and all I have is MBC, uppipe, and intercooler hoses!

 

I love when people listed "mods" while trying to tell a race story.. "s2k Antenna" come on!
We suck at the top end, if the race was from 30-100, it would have been different. Celica GT-S is not that strong from 30-60 due to the long second gear (a scam by Toyota to achieve good 0-60mph time,) and from second to third it will drop out of power band slightly. I say time to get some bpu..

 

also...races are done by 60

ok..think 1/8th mile....so top speed....80.....

 

I BEAT SOME CELICAS GTS's IN MY GRAND AM!!!!!!! HOW COULD A WRX LOOSE!!!!


Wow... that WRX driver sure didnt know how to drive.. Stock Celica GTS's run 15 flat... thats a full second (almost) slower then a stock WRX.

 

No kidding man, i have raced a ton of these, twice from a roll, and once from a stoplight!! and i have a slushboXX!! From a roll they were a "Little" close, maybe a car length behind, but it wasent anything special... ONe guy also had a huge potatoe shooter on the back of his with ground effects (the one I raced from a light) and after launch i immediately got a 2+ car lead and kept pulling till 100 when he was like 3+ cars back......

Didn't I say this was on a roll?.... Quatermile times don't mean jack on a roll. The celica was in its lift. My bud ran him from 55 (Celica is in his vvti-l range). Why don't you get a wrx and race one stock and get your a$$ handed to you before you say people can't drive... What was so hard about putting it in second and flooring? Think before you speak. The wrx will beat a celica from a stop easily. So go buy a wrx and afford some insurance and then you can talk.

 

Well that sounds good and all, but the fact is that most everyone here who has a WRX has beat a Celica in all kinds of situations before. I believe you when you tell me what you saw I guess. But most of us know from experience that the car isn't that hard to beat. The only thing left to assume is that something wasn't right with the guy's driving. Unless something was wrong with his car. That's why you're getting kid of a hard time about the story.

 

((So go buy a wrx and afford some insurance and then you can talk.))







You dont need to be mean to him, just cause your friend cant drive for Sheite

 

Go RobPA!!!

Ya im just sorry.. a mean the STOCK times are a FULL SECOND apart... youre friend can drive better then that.

And dude.. dont be tellin me what to do. Just wait and see when i DO get my WRX... gonna be alot better looking and faster then yours is ever going to be.. See i can be mean too...

Mean people suck...

 

obviously the people you raced don't know how to drive.
Celica is not that slow from the roll, they are LIGHT.. 2600lbs and 180hp from the roll. WRX is heavy and AWD is an disadvantage at high speeds (more drag and heavy.) If you slack, you will lose to a Celica GT-S from a 55mph roll.
Again, "FULL" second from standing stop 1/4 drag. Not from a roll.

Exactly. The celica was in his lift/vvti (vtec). My friends rex was stock. He had to spool etc etc. A wrx will probably beat a celica lets say 30 (due to their long 2nd gear due to toyota's effort to make a low 0-60 time) or so but not around 55mph when they are in there vvti range. Sure others of you have beat it, but go out and race one with the same conditions same variables. 50 mph right where they make thier peak power. Probably around 6k rpms for them seeing how they have 8 k redlines. black99gt I'll believe it when I see it. I'm probably not going to mod my car anytime soon. You probably won't even get one due to the high insurance rates and your mommy won't let you get one, but if you do kudos to you if you make it faster or whatnot.

 

my momy huh.

Dude ive been moved out of the house for 1 year now.

Believe me... you have no idea what your talking about.

The only reason i cant afford insurance.. is because other JACKA$$ES with this car have ruined it for me.

And JACKA$$ES my age, and not mature as i am.. have ruined it for me.

You can blame my GENERATION.

But just you wait. You sound like another typical "Oh thats a stupid teenager" kinda adult... and youre very stereotypical. Im not waisting my typing on you anymore.

 

Hey, let's all chill out, yeah? No need for personal attacks here. Especially that mommy statement was just out of no where.

 

They are quick, but I have never lost to one from a start or a roll. I also raced a new MR2 spyder and killed him. He then said he could beat me up a canyon road and I beat him again. You just have to drive your wrex like you hate it. I chirped all four tires in second the other day on some wet pavement.

Thats not good for your transmission.

>Dude ive been moved out of the house for 1 year now. <
Is that why you get an insurance quote with your mom(step) and three cars? Just because you live on your own doesn't mean jack.

 

if your in the market for a sports coupe and wanna look good then celica is a good car. other than that it is a piece of crap IMO. not worth the money they ask for it.

 

Toyota don't produce pieces of crap. The Celica isn't my cup of tea either, but it's a moderately stylish and quick automobile. Certainly Toyota upped their game compared with the previous two gens of Celicas!

Very true. I hear the celicas are going to be discontinued, but I heard it on a forum sooooo.....

 

Which forum did you hear that from?

 

just a rumor but a rsx forum by a celica owner

 

I doubt they are going to discontine that. Toyota spent a crap load of money to create the new celica. I don't think they are just going to drop all that initial investment for that. Besides, I see a lot of celicas around here. It is true that GT-S is not selling to well, but they are selling a lot of GT.
Toyota is smart with their platform sharing as well, with MR2, Celica and Matrix sharing the engines.. it is really cost effective when you think about it.

 

JK a turboed Celica only runs 15 flat or so.. not very impressive. So the regualr runs like 16 i believe..

Who would spend more money on the car AND insurance for a second (maybe if that) difference? Not I to be totaly honest.

If it was from 15 to a 14 ide sell YA! But even running a 15sec.. thats beating most cars on the road, by not alot.

Its a toss up, but 8/10 when i see a Celica its a Gt not a GTS
