Its pretty simple. You lost torque by having an exhaust that decreased backpressure to the point of losing power. That is why unless you turbo your car or have some other type of forced induction you do not want a big exhaust with no cats. you lose backpressure and therefore lose torque. Easy and simple as that. The STX is the same as ST but if you take an STX vs. an ST with minimal backpressure which causes torque loss....well then your ST is slower. DER!

the only way that st beat the stang is if the v8 was falling apart , the guy mishifts like crazy....or threw it in reverse instead of first

dude my gt cant even take a stang

look just so you idiots know the stx did pull the stang gt which is a slow ass car anyway and so you know it was a 98 stang and we aren't trying to impress the idiots on this board who think they are the **** with a 16 second car bottom line is that until you see the car which justin did or ride in it which justin did do then you don't know **** about the car the mustang didn't miss a gear and yes he did try to race the celica and there are 5 of us plus the guy in the mustang that all know he lost to a stock stx with a homemade cold air that me and my brother made and put on the car earlier that day if you doubt me **** you too I really don't give a **** cuz I watched it happen just like justin,jmoneydtb,and my fiancee. and if you did know **** about the stx then you would know that the rods are just a bit longer for higher compression the stx dynos 150 to the tires and the st puts what 110 so obviously somethin is different call bs or whatever none of us have to prove **** to any of you especially since we all saw it this is the third stx that I have personally seen put 150 to the tires in totally stock settings.

Dude, words are words. Show proof or just leave the topic alone, only thing everyone else is gonna say at this point.

and to 97sccelica he does have a gt4 celica we will probably be working on that in the coming weeks just to let you know

"What the hell is a Celica STX and GTX?"



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The 90-93 Celicas came in four main trims: ST, GT, GT-S, and All-Trac. Two trims that were not offered at the factory level are the STX and the GTX. What exactly are they?

The STX and GTX were offered at the dealer-level. They were used to promote the car similar to how "Special Edition" will catch a buyer's attention. The "X" trim levels made the Celica ST and GT seem more unique, special, and rare.

The most common addition to the STX and GTX trims is the badging. They included pinstriping and STX and GTX badges on the sides and rear. The STX received:

a rear spoiler (not originally offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST),
aluminum wheels (not originally offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST),
and (in some cases) the Power Package (power windows and power locks; not offered at the factory- or dealer-level with the ST).
The GTX has the same available options as a regular GT but with the addition of the GTX badging. Despite rumors, they have no advantages in performance. No super-special engine; no super-special suspension.

The STX and GTX are the ST and GT with eXtra options. Emphasis on the "X" badging.


Straight from http://www.henryvo.com/

guy please go back to the rock you crawled under from. you guys cant even come up with one ounce of evidence that an STX has longer rods

why ? because it doesnt ! show me some part numbers how about some pictures

oh wait thats right you dont have any. we try to stay truthful here, and help each other out. so I would suggest dropping ur story, cause that all it is

I would love to see a dyno video of your 150 WHP stx.

like i said before, get those two guys to race each other, record and upload it. if this stx wins, it will shut all of us up. so until then, stfu and and take out your spoon and start eatin all of your b.s.

HA!! I like it when people fight.

look if you dont believe us...fine...we will get proof...im not real sure about the hp numbers but i do know that this stx pulled a car length on a white 98 4.6gt mustang with exhaust work. i am not trying to start anything with anyone. but why try to down someone saying they know nothing about cars because of a kill story they tell that no one believes...even though there have been 3 eye witnesses post on this board. i dont see what everyone is getting so pissy about. we will try to have a video camera out next weekend and try to find a gt mustang to pick on if it will make everyone happy. till then ive gotta quit reading this thing or imll get all pissy myself.

Well ok people I tested it. My brother has a 98 mustang gt and my girlfriend owns 94 st with intake and exhaust. My brother >> me in the race. So the point is get over it. The mustang kicked my ass. And I can make a video for proof but is it really worth it!!!

Oh sorry she owns an STX (like there is a difference)

Oh and my brother has an 86 5.0 mustang and it >> me to!!! End of thread. Yes I know mustangs are crappy fords and we all like to say the famous saying Found On Road Dead and all the other ones but a mustang will own a celica st anyday unless there are major mods to the st and nothing to the mustang.

I got it guys!!! This 98 mustang GT got exaust work, but beign a dumbass got 1.5 pipes instead of upping to a 3 inch or so. Then, when he probably put a cold air or something on, he left a grease rag in the intake. Oh yeah, his front tires work flat, and his emergency brake was on.

BTY I'm not starting ****. I am just impling that I have raced Mustangs in STX and got my ass handed to me on a plate of burned rubber!

LMAO@! thats funny...... straight up funny, I might of believed it if the mustang has probs with it.. only because theres a kid I know with a real cobra that runs like poop... haha but thats only cuz hes and idiot and doesnt realize that running on only 2 firing injectors is bad >>


other than that.... NO WAY NOT POSSIBLE for a 4.6 to lose to ne celi that doesnt have some kind of FI on it. I remember running my friends 4.6 with my 94 celi before the swap and I had a decent amount of things done to it... let me tell you I got really familiar with his tail lights

video would be nice >>
