This is a big one guys who would you like to be stacked up against?

if by other you mean geo metro, ill take other haha... this pole is kinda dumb... what type of integra....type r or ls? what type of neon srt4 or sxt? what type of eclipse gst or rs?

its kinda vague man and heres a news flash almost any car can beat our cars especially if you have a stock st..

now there are exceptions to our cars. some of us have 3sgte's ( the powerhouse)

but we all cant afford the swap so others have 5sfte's(including myself soon) and 7afte's the cheaper but effective performance path.

1 of our members has a 7agte which is a beautiful monster.

so believe me when i say youre probably gonna get beat by a lot of cars...unless its a geo. and dont go looking for a quick performance upgrade cuz believe me you wont find it, or else we'd all have it. if you want some more hp for the celica be prepared to spend some money

OK BIG dawg youre right, i guess when i said an Integra would assume the one most people race with but tell to coom to burn this post if you want

i never said i was a big dawg. there are people who could literaly run circles around me when it comes to cars.. but all im saying is that you can find the easy way out with these cars cuz it just wont happen

iam confused are what youre talking bro with "you cant find the easy way with these cars cuz it just wont happen" wheres that coming from just wandering?

i think i would probably smoke most of those on the list. only real threat i see is if the eclipse was turbo, or the neon an str4

yeah its kind of vague man... but i just ment in general you know

its coming from experience with this car... our celicas ARE NOT FAST but they are alittle quicker than SOME cars.

and finding the easy way out. by that i mean theres no easy bolt on performance for our car... intakes dont do crap neither do exhaust and if they do its very minimal we all know that

thats why i say theres no easy way out

ask lagos how long and how hard his swap was. but now his car is faster and more beautiful than ever.

our cars have 2 things damn good looks and kick ass handling... but if you want speed you better fork out some cash

Tru Tru alright man i got you...yeah thats what iam about i want my celica to look good and have some gimpy performance upgrades lol iam not hardcore... but i mean if you can get the engine swap youre right youre the man then lol

Speak for yourself.

HAHA, mine wasnt, now I'll race a 350z given the chance.

I agree that this poll is vague.. Are you talking stock ST204's or stock ST205's? Modded or what?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

awww damn guys youre killing me lol, i promise next one will cover every detail >>

I like the challenge of Evo`s (early ones) or Impreza`s, some you win, some you lose but its all fun, my fave fodder has to be BMW`s as BM drivers seem to think they have the fastest thing on the road, I love leaving them behind. All but the later M 3`s or 5`s and even then I`ll have a go.

I’d just compared everything to an American GT stock. The new Civic Si’s could beat us, the others would have a hard time. 95-99 GT-S or X Eclipse would beat us, the early ones are a good race, about a 50/50 shot. We could beat every Neon except the SRT-4. It’d be a good race with the V6 stang, depends on the year. But the 5.0’s and up GT’s will walk all over us. Older mustangs aren’t to hard to beat as long as there stock and not BOSS’s or Cobra’s. I think the V6 Probe might be a good race. The early 90’s turbo Probe would be hard to handle. The four cylinders would be easy. All focuses except the SVT, in which case I think would be a good race but the SVT might pull the win, have a ¼ chance of winning. I think we could handle about any Accord. The GS (I think that’s the right model) Integra’s would be a good race, but I don’t know much about these. This is all just my opinion, and sort of put out there for some discussion.

I have a go at late spec Evos too......

I run level with my bosses brand new STi PPP......

Hmmmm, maybe I`ll have ago against those late Evo`s then, dont come across them very often though.

Beautiful blue Four by the way.

Very rare.

Cheers!

i wouldnt say its a bad topic. just not specific. i would just assume all the cars are stock, and the lowest model.

hey guys thanks for not toasting me guys lol, great info yeah like i said apologize about being vague ...

ill second that, stunning blue GT4 >>

let me edit this a bit

The Civic EX was made to compete with the 5S. In fact, my bestest buddy ever has one. Its almost a direct tie. So EX's would give us a run for our money.

The Eclipse/Talon/Laser Turbo FWD/AWD would kill, and kill bad. The N/A motors would also give us a run for our money. The "old" Eclipse is acutally proven better than the second gen, though I prefer second gen's more. I know this because I came from the DSM family.

The Neon R/T (also known as the N/A Eclipse/Talon) would again, give us a run for our money. The SRT would kill.

The V6 Stang would win. The V8 stang would kill.

The V6 Probe/MX6 would win by alot. The Turbo Probe would win. The 4-banger would lose.

Your right about the Focus. All but SVT would lose.

I think the Accord V6 would win, the 4-cyl would be close only due to weight.

The Integra (THE CAR CHOSEN TO BE CELICA'S ENEMY, yes boys and girls, the Honda Integra is the rival to the Celica). The Older GS is a good tie. The TYPE-R was made to compete against the 7th gen GTS, and thats a good race.



Its not that I hate the Celica. I'm just realistic. I've driven almost all late model import sports cars and have owned quite a few. You cant expect a 135HP (best model) to compete with the top models of others. I'd say the Civic/Integra and the N/A Eclipse/Talon are the best match ups.

I don't like my Celica. I think it's slow and I want something else. I just bought it because my girlfriend liked it, and now no one will let me sell it. I did race a turbo Laser once (same as the 1gen gs-t eclipse) and barely won. I'm slitely modded, and I'm pretty good at racing, so these might have had an effect on the race. As for the other cars, I'm just going on the one's I've raced and drove. I've raced and drove a V6 stang, and I can beat it, no question.

EDIT: I want an MR2 turbo, or a Civic Hachback Si. I'd rather have the mr2 turbo though. I had a nice dream about driving that thing the other night.

If it was a point to point race in a straight line then I recon the MR2 would take it, being lighter an all. Add a few corners in, and a bit of bad weather then the Celica would win.

I can only really comment on the GT4 v MR2 Turbo. The Celica`s 4wd helps on launch but slows you down when all that tracktion is no longer needed. But like I said, add a few nice tight corners in and the Celica will stomp all over the tail happy MR2

It's ok if the eclipse is turbo, you can still beat him. The only thing you have to worry about is if it's AWD. If it is, then it will be close, if you actually run a full 1/4 mile. If it's 1/8 mile, then you lost.

As for the SRT4, you have no problems. I take them out all the time.
