Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior GT vs GTS

I'd say two ppl experiment with this stuff. Both cars with same Intake exuast headers/ blah blah.. then the Turbo. and just race.. of course distance of the race is a big factor. i would think Gts will kill in the long run and gt wil kill ona shorter run..

OK...lets do this. We shall use my car, and you provide the Turbo

sure ... can i borrow 6gz? one Turbo for you and one for me..

Well, the only way distance would make a big difference is that the GT and the GTS are operating under different final drives.

If the GT has a lower final drive than the GTS. The GT will overtake in the end. Vica versa.

If you were to drag race, the car with the higher final drive will definitely get to 1/4 mile mark before the other. (Then again, transmission depends solely on how much power the motors putting out.)

Only problem with comparing the GT and the GTS is that the GT has lower compression, and can boost higher. Are you talking about keeping the block stock, where the GT has 10:1 compression and the GTS has 11.5:1 compression? If that's the case, the GTS won't be able to boost high.. maybe 5 - 9 psi. The GT could possibly boost from 9 - 15 psi.

What I meant is that GT's are ONLY a pretty car, but are slow. In other words, they just LOOK fast, while the GTS is actually mildly fast.

umm...no..the GT is not a slow car...it may be slower than a GTS..but its by no means slow.

guess what! the Celica GTS and the GT are nice cars and they are both Toyota Manufactured vehicles, and guess what again? why argue over both cars in the celica community!
