i currently drive a celica GTS hp to weight ratio is pretty good considering i get about 175-180+ to the wheels with headers and intake and the car weighs 2500 lbs. if i go the NA route id could reach the high 13s in the quarter. traction is the problem. For instance even if i go turbo making about 250-260 hp to the wheels(which cost 5gs), my best would still be the mid 13s. i have a 11.5:1 compression on the car so 7 psi would probably be the safest to run so i could never break the 270 whp barrier. even if i did traction is an issue. i was looking into buying an audi because i wanted to be different. either this car or a wrx. i know this car has potential but , but the car weighs about 3200-3500 lbs. and even if i get 300 hp to the wheels how much will it cost me. And also will i be able to break 12s in the quarter. if 300 wont get me to break at least the hight 12s how much hp would i need and how much would it cost me.

 

[sm=icon_rofl.gif] I think you need to have another [sm=icon_guiness.gif] sounds like ricer math to me there is no way a Celica is making 180+hp to the wheels with just a header and intake when they are stock 180 at the crank

 

"ricer math", hey comeon that's my phrase!

 

O sorry man I thought I just had to let him know what was going on

 

haha ya and celicas r def chick cars now

 

actually my intake alone put me at least 170 to the wheels and there is a bunch of dynos to prove it http://newcelica.org/other/dyno/page.php

 

stock intake was very restrictive. yeah i know the car is suppose to be considered ricey but the time i got it no one had it. think about 160 to the wheels stock 2500 lbs. the car is great on circuit tracks. only drawback is engine is already at its limit 11.5:1 compression. i mean with intakes alone i hit mid 14s.

 

*cough* BS! *Cough* And the car is about as cool as a plymouth neon

i think the neon has a little more horsepower. I'd rather be caught in this car than a GT-S

 

wow i was looking into getting an audi but why do audi owners have to be such d*cks. how old are you like 17. stop baggin on toyotas. there the most reliable car ive had. i have a 75 corolla and a 84 celica gts also and i have had no problems with each of them still running in good condition. both have more than 200,000 miles on them. i got a celica because i knew for one it would be reliable. and the fact that i cornered pretty well in willowsprings with stock suspension. Can someone esle speak besides this guy i was only asking a question. i hope all audi owners are not like this

 

Ok I now count that you have posted the exactly same question in 3 places on this forum. This is a forum for Audi's, not for celicas. So excuse is if we don't get excited about your car. If you want us to answer your questions then stick to the topic at hand. Stop acting like a noob.
