Do we, as in GT owners, manual's of course, have a chance against the Ford Probe GT and the 92+ predlude vtec 2.2? Any body with experience?

prelude we don't have a chance stock. Probe, i'm not sure
Is it because we have the same sized engine, and they have the variable valve timing? I'm guessing that's correct.

You should walk the 92 Probe. I think that those ones only have around 145hp witch is not very much for the weight of those, they are heavy. And with the Prelude, my ex girlfriend has one, and when my buddy raced me in hers (he used to have one) he beat me by about a car length. Keep in mind that hers was completely stock and I had intake, exhaust, clutch. She also has a 5spd so I don't know if the prelude that your talking about is an auto. If it is if will be very close.

I wasn't talking specific, just very curious because i read a review someone made on a 95 celica gt. Saying that we have a lot less power than a probe gt and vtec prelude. what a lot of people just don't understand is we have 4:11 FINAL GEARS. I have a friend with a 5 spd. After i get my headers and cold air done (which will be on sale, check out my "headers anybody?" post) i'll get a drag on with him, and i'll get back to ya all (probably end of summer. hahaha). Thanks Toy.
He has a 5 spd prelude i meant.

92 and older gts have a turbo, and ALOT more torque than we do. and the 93 and up gts have a 164 horse v6 thats pulls almost all the way to its 7k redline. my dads got a 97 and it will kick my ass.

Yes, i see that now, thanks bike.

Turbo'd probes are quick. The stock ones, ya know? I saw one about 2 days ago, not too bad

the heck the final drive doesn't matter.
our final drive is for quickness, it uses the small power the engine puts out to every extent it can.
And if you're talking about experience from that ST, little bit of a difference, correct?

against a GT.... seeing how i've heard a 20V st can beat a GT... and my car can keep up with coomers.... and i have a problem against my roommates 94 mx6 (same as the probe gt)... then i'd say the probe will beat you.... unfortunately
That probe is the ugliest thing i've ever seen in my life, ever.
Evey week someone comes up with a new car to be battled with the Celica....................why? These cars are NOT built to perform with out serious cash/mods. Quit trying to fool yourselfs, your car can and WILL be owned by a good percentage of other cars out there including trucks and SUV's.
Accept It.
5sfe, why do you only post on this site to bash our own cars? I'm just wondering, because those seem to be the only posts I've seen out of you

The 4:11 transmissions are hard to find in any street car. s2000's have the final drive, but they also have a kick butt hp range. I don't know what you're talkwing about with that ST. No one around here really drives anything like a corolla GT-S. I drive my celica, and i drive (when allowed) my father's 69 427 chevy. Two very different cars. I know a lot more than you would think, i learned from what a lot of people would consider the best. And i learned from the diagrams and hands-on experience. I just believe the celica has a lot more potential than you do, and that's not wrong for either of us, so we should leave it at that.

Well, i don't want to get on a bad side of you, or vise versa. I apologize if what i was saying came off wrong. Sometimes i just get finger happy, ya know, whatever runs through your head hits the screen, hahaha. I wasn't comparing with S2000, the 4:11 final is probably the only thing they have in common, hahah, oh yeah, they both come in manual if you want it, haha. I guess what i'm trying to say and do is, because i'm so used to workign and tuning the great domestic chevy's, i want to be able to take that freedom with the chevy V8 (the freedom to turn one screw and change the whole feel of the engine) and apply that with work and effort to a car with great potential like the 6GC. Apologize for any disrespect.
