my almost stock (muffler) 96 st celica is always being put down to this trash talking kid who claims he eats all these cars in a stock zx2, gets me mad. so could i beat him?

Don't know?
My fiance' has a 98 ZX2 sport w/no muffler and an intake.
I beat her in my 99 GT with CAI intake and exhaust.
I don't know, she can't really drive a stick that well.

ZX2 = Horsepower 130
He'd beat you by a narrow margin, or maybe he wouldn't...thats 25 more horsies there. Plus why is he driving a ZX2? Isn't that a chick car?
you also got to remember that the 130 hp on the zx2 is at the flywheel. thats probably a little over 100 to the ground.
Well it's more like 85HP in the Celica then...or somewhere around there.
Hey! My ST ran side by side with a stock GT. I was proud at that moment. I think I could have beat it if I was running a 5spd.
Oh and.. zx2's = 0wned.
DUDE not to be mean but you dont have a Chance in HECK im sorry man unless that person jsut really cant drive! jsut get a good start!
99 Toyota Tacoma
hmmmm jason maybe the guy in the gt was playin with you to make you feel good or something? and zx2s are girl cars but i dont know i think he would take you but you wouldnt get owned...... my .02

hmmm... didnt know about your mods homie and i like the honda quote....
Nick
hmmm.... id think the celica could win because im pretty sure the weight diff between them is greater than the power diff.
how bout a near stock ST 5spd and a 93 eclipse GE AT???
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
All stock NA Eclipses can be taken by Celica GTs.
They are extemely heavy, i'm very surprised that bridges don't have signs that say: "Trucks and Eclipses over 4 tons not allowed". When my ST was bone stock, I did lose to NA Eclipses, but I kept up pretty good, that just shows how sickingly heavy they are.
Ha,ha..it's kinda funny hearing you guys talking about the cars you race against...like the zx-2(nothing personal). I'm the only one of my friends that drives a 6th gen over here in Japan. The rest of my friends drive: 2 93' RX-7's, a 96' Supra, 91' 94, and 97' Skyline GTS-T's, and a 96' Nissan Silvia. I don't stand a chance running toe-to-toe....but when we go drifting in the mountains I tend to be able to hang on. And these guys taught ME how to drive.
hrmmm drift celica eh??? ::sniff sniff:: do i smell bull****?

yea well i finally drove the eclipse today, i LOVE the car but holy god, the engine can barely get the car rolling, its HEAVY as SH!T! my ST would walk it... hell my friends base probe could walk it!! im pretty sure a metro could walk it too!!

A GT can own it, i'm not much for speed in my celi, its just a damn nice cruiser, but have beaten a few zx2's, on the otherhand my 93 supra twin turbo hardtop can just beat about anything on the road .. took 911 turbo easy otherday... only thing that can stand a chance is a corvette/viper.. speed just gets boring. Its much funner to cruise in a celi, its a car with lovely curves .. add on a veilside , c-1, or zephyr... SWEETNESS !!
I guess this race, no matter how pointless it may be, would come down to the track. In a simple drag race I'm sure it would be close depending on the driver, but on a track with a lot of turns, the Celica is sure to dominate with better handling. Not that it makes any difference. If you wanted to race, you should have bought a faster car. If you want a car that looks cool and is awesome to drive, stick with the Celica.
one of the funnest things tho, is to modify a peice of s#it car that can whip most anything on the road, i added a tri- turbo to a 89 volkwagon with roof sawed off and nos and pushing 800hp , which owned anything that looked its way, the thing was ugly as sin, but ur proud when ur hands engineered a vehicle that can kick the @ss of those prefabricated, even mod speed demons. So if y'all modify ur celi's to race , keep it real.
