Ok so the other night me my good freind and my girlfriend all come back from some parties, and this guy on my freinds floor is running his mouth about his celica gts the new one's, and hes like i raced this guy for 200 bucks and this and that. So i said hey u ever run it at the track and hes like no, so im like what do u have done hes like exhaust, intake, and hes like why "are you into cars", so i was like yea i drive a 05 blue rex, and he asks me what i have done i say exhaust, up pipe, down pipe, ap, and injectors. Hes like ill run u? confused me cause he has a sound system in his car. Do you think he can back it up???
You should be able to take him. Though I don't know all that much about the new Celicas, I should think the WRX, even in stock form should take it. And with your mods, it sounds like you should take him no problem, pending you know how to race.
um quick search on Google came up with 180HP @7600RPM... That seems wrong to me for some reason but unless his bolts on = about another 50-75 HP you should hand it to him hard.
WRX :tease: Celica :hurl:
awd !Thumbs Up fwd :notgood:
turbochraged !Thumbs Up na :notgood:
mods that make pwr !Thumbs Up 4 maybe 5 hp w/mods if lucky :notgood:
basically it gonna go like this, u launch, he spins= 1 car length
turbo spool, he makes a bunch of noise= 1/2 or1 car length
and the rest is history unless he has some major power adder, and by the sound of it probably not, so thats an easy kill.
you should race him for $200 and listen to all his excuses when the race is over
They can be fast, but it takes a fair amount of cash to make it so. They're ok. You should be able to beat him pretty easily due to your traction advantage alone, not to mention your mods.
Don't even waiste your time racing him. He won't be able to handle you at all. I mean you'll hurt his feelings something awful. A friend of mine has a Carolla XRS, which is basically a celica GTS in a Carolla body, but it's better than the Celica, and she can't keep up with me. The 2ZZ motor has a decent amount of horsepower, but it has no torque. The only good thing about it is, it has a 8200 RPM redline. So when it finally gets moving, it just goes. But it just takes forever to get to that point.
As a matter of fact, I beat a GTS with my rs eclipse when it was stock.

I had a GT-S years ago (before they became known as a secretary's/girl's car). I didn't know they'd gotten the hp up to 180 either - I think mine had 135 or 140hp.
A stock WRX should beat the sugar & sweetness off of a stock Celica GTS in a drag race. The Celica has a decent weight advantage over the WRX, but the numbers I've seen show the Celica's 0-60's ranging from mid 6's to low 7's. Weight aside, other than nitrous, what could you do to a Celica to match the mods RUIMPREZ has? Maybe against a well tuned 90's Celica All-Trac there'd be a decent race, but I think this would be cake walk.
"As a matter of fact, I beat a GTS with my rs eclipse when it was stock."
BULL SHIT.. :notgood: :notgood: :notgood:
My stock 2001 Celica GTS smoked "Consistently" my old friends GST Eclipse.. So either your full of it or it was his first time driving.. Well, no, I take that back.. If it was an automatic, and you were a 5 speed..
Don't sell them short, for a 1.8L inline 4 NA motor those cars can hold there own.. Mine would always keep up with my friends GTP 3.8L supercharge Grand Prix.. Yea my WRX is faster in a quarter, but my WRX couldn't keep with the Celica on the highway.. Even with all the mods and power that I am pushing now the gears limit me to 157mph. That's GPS speed so it's accurate.. The celica on the other hand had a higher top speed.. Mine topped out at 164mph.. Again GPS speed..
Come to think of it, somewhere I have a Car and Driver that did compairisons of a CELICA GTS, ACURA RSX TypeS, and a WRX..
My Celica GTS 2001 had:
Intake
Exhaust
Flywheel
Clutch
LSD
Short Shifter.
Umm I think that's it, it's been a while.. well any way, She turned low 15s high 14s all day.. so you should easily beat him with your Rex on a drag strip... Just hit your ET, and RT.. It will all be good.. If he can drive it might be a good race..
It's ture the Celica only produce 180 hp and 135ft but when that valve timing kicks that thing takes off..
If you wanna see it there is a link to my Celica Page on my 02Works page..
I drove my cousin's GTS. He bragged about it being fast too. It had intake, exhaust, shortshifter, and some other bolt-ons. It wasn't horrible, but it was honestly kinda slow. Low torque. End of story.
OK, what ever.. Celicas are slow right.. That's why I was rarely on the losing side of a race.. But hey, it's clear how most people think.. I drive this and it's the only thing that's fast blah blah blah.. For what it is, and in it's class it's fast. and 50 up hill is bull shit and you know it. Ohh, and all that I drove my cousins, husbands, sisters, brothers GTS.. Blah Blah Blah.. I had one and I know what it did day in and day out. Granted it's not going to keep up with a Modified Turbo Charged car, but against other Na 4 cyls it would.. Well, I'm done in this post, I'm know what I know and you guys can speculate all you want about a car you never owned nor knew how to drive..
Ohh, one last thing.. After looking at your profiles I would race any of you three.. With your bov, shifter, or your Borla Hush, K&N Drop-in, and especially your Stock.. You think your fast now?? Either of you wanna try my WRX??? step up with the cash if your ready for the big time..
this is getting funny. never said mny car was extremely fast (even thbough its quick) but i just got it on sunday so i havent had any time to do anything yet, and i know there are other fast cars just not a celica unless built they have some bad ass boltons. I drove a lancer and a new mustang and some other crap before i bougth the rex and yea theyre fast, i am happy with my choice of the rex however and wouldnt trade it for any rice burner, except maybe an audi TT i just saying of what we have seen, the only gts ive personally been in with 2 people in it would only go 50 up this hill froma dead stop. end of story.!Thumbs Up
Ok so hold on a second.. Your telling me that you think a mustang is fast? humm.. Just for the record, the old school 5.0 (95 or so) could not keep up with my celica GTS from 60 on running down the highway... Just for the record that is.. Granted I know that the Stang is heavier, and that it most likely had 373 gears in it which is not the best for high speed but none the less.. And that crap about 50. PROVE it to me.. I have 3 guys in my car besides me, with me being the smallest (I weigh in at 180) and i was rolling like crazy.. Your claims are just so hard to bite, but I guess mine are as well. But I was there, and I know.. I drove that car for two years and knew it inside and out.. I know they have suckie torque and I hated that, but the transmission was geared so close from 1st to second that with the LSD I could launch at 4 grand and it hooked and ran good times.. Check out my site at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/208491 to see what I had.. Yes I am getting pissed.. I am so tired of people bashing shit.. Everyone has favorite cars, but have respect and give a car credit.. That celica produces 100hp per litter with no induction assistance.. The WRX requires a turbo to produce 113.5hp per litter.. Do the math on that one. The turbo only grants the Rex 13.5hp per litter.. In its class the Celica is a fast car.. Give credit when it's due.. The Celica can represent itself and hold it's own. So just stop bashing.. And by the way the WRX is made in JAPAN and has a Japanese motor.. Wouldn't that make it a rice burner????
