DarkMatter Member 2004 Toyota Celica Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 119 Memphis, TN	the top speed of a stock gts? 135 was as far as I could push mine. that was with a friend in the car, on a windy night, and with a slightly curvy/hilly road(well they felt like hills) after cai and trd exhaust, new torque allowed 142mph, although I feel I could have easily broken the 145 mark without one of my other friends(190lb) in the car and with more road(almost missed my exit, scary). so uh, stock. gts probably = 135-140.at.most

I'm gonna take your little Civic. Dust it off. Turn it sideways and stick it straight up you candy A*s.

When the RPM's hit 7k in 6th gear, you're done. Autobahns in Germany made this easy to find out! The ECU prevents lift from activating, so the engine runs out of breath at 7K in 6th gear. With the PFC and a Turbo, I'd bet 170 MPH was possible. To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation To know even one life has breathed easier This is to have succeeded.

It may not be safe to push a Celica over 150 MPH. I know for a fact that Audi TT in the early days had instability at high speeds, even though they could reach them and it was a problem if I heard about it. I'm sure a stock Celica is not aerodynamically designed to push near 150 or above without issues of stability or safety.

Once the spoiler was raised, stability increased

Took me a loong straight but i got there. The instruments are not very precise... the speedometer shows approx. 10% to much and maybe more at high speeds...
