Veilside_300 if I still had my celica, Ill still spank you pretty hard in tracks... going around corners... With my new car, I ll just spank you any time of the day... Even if you had 300 hp, it dont really matter to me... put 15 G... I dont care... Celicas are fast... made for tracks...if you know how to drive... then yep... but reading your posts...I doubt you can drive your celica anywayz... For elise, yes it's same engine... but totally different ecu... Lift kicks in earlier, port/polish, and smoother hp, torque curves...What makes you say that they are the same Performance after a full tune up that lotus put into it? Celica is a nice car... stop making fun of it... you dont belong in the celica's driverz seat

I'd take anyone on, win or lose.
Yes, completely new engine management by Lotus. Torque remains at 133lb/ft though, so does power remain at 190bhp. The lack of torque is less noticeable though because of the weight. And yes the power curve is more linear, but theres still the noticeable shove above 6000rpm. The older S2 sport 190 used a highly tuned version of the rover k series engine which had better power delivery throughout the rev range. Unfortunately though didn't have Toyota reliability. WHAT MAKES ME SAY THEY'RE THE SAME Performance? Nothing. Same power, better Performance. Obviously!

Celicas are fast... made for tracks... SOMEONE ELSE WITH LITTLE UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD. When will you people realise the Celica was not made for the track. Find me some sort of Toyota publication that states the Celica was designed and built for track use and I'll eat my hat.

this is a dumb argument.. veilside just keeps saying the car is not built for the track when it's stock...WHICH IT ISN'T
we are arguing that you can MOD the freakin thing in order to COMPETE on a track...so in this case, MAKING it a track car. how dumb can you be? then there are manufacturers who build their cars that are almost track ready...which sport tuned shit, but that still doesn't mean it's a track car.

i bought the celica because every girl i've dated and takes a ride in it makes them take their clothes off! I agree in all for all its inteded purposes one of its best purposes is its uncanny ability to attract the ladies! It's so successful that me and my buddies dubbed my car the "ho rocket" !

this is stupid. tell ya what my enzo will your 300 hp celica. wow that was fun. instead of real facts and useful arguements lets all just say how much better our imaginary cars are oh and anything less then $1,000,000 price tag isnt really a track car. now if earth was a planet where this made sense that would rock. but see most of us live in reality. why do you think they modded a miata to compete with the elise in C&D ? cause they could. lol slow as hell but with some work done to it it can be a contender. I really need to upload that idiot smiley. I been needing it a lot lately. BTW: has anyone IP checked to see if t-sport and mr 300 here are the same person?? just curious.

lol ~ i bought the celica because every girl i've dated and takes a ride in it makes them take their clothes off! wow im gonna do tat ~ lol ... [quote=VSGTS14][quote=Ferris][quote=Lucky_317][quote=Ferris]It's ok though... I see lots of rsx-s with i/e/hondata running 10's in the 1/8...they taste good. I have a video of this http://ksbservices.com/vids/mevsrsx.wmvme stock beating an I/E hondata rsx cause he couldnt drive. also on that same note it was my first day at the 1/8 and I sucked pretty bad too. my dumbass ran a 10.0 - his 9.9 but I had the better R/T I've learned to drive much better since then Yep, it's all about the driver...just bugs me when people are so dissatisfied with the celica's Performance... and in reality it is their Performance which is lacking thereof. As for the update on my body kit Billy, I haven't put it on yet because I haven't had the cash flow and am getting a new trd japan clutch since mine just went out. You can have looks and speed... too bad the wrx can't j/k man dude, i wasn't fucking talking to you, i was asking the dude who started the thread my wrx will pwn j00 anyday Got any track slips to help convince me?... doubt it. Meanwhile, the only thing you are owning is your daddy's wallet... so next time you ask a question in a post, maybe you should specify as to who the question is directed at...especially when your post doesn't even follow the desired recipient. A million posts and still a newb... it's no wonder they just clown you on nc . org [/quote] dude, wtf crawled up your ass? who the fuck cares who's care is fast, idc WHO is faster than me, i drive what i fucking like and was only kidding because you gotta start some shit that the wrx looks like shit asshole... and if i wanted to specify who i was talking to, i quote, use an ^, or say their name, obviously none of those were anywhere directed towards you, so don't answer it... and wtf does nc. org have to fucking do with anything, idc what they think of me, i don't know any of them and i don't own a fucking celica dickstain. it's people like you that are inconsidate, disrespectful, and stupid right off the bat that are the newbs, i've been here a lot longer than your ass has. btw - you're a fucking fag, try learning some respect and worry about your own fucking life and not mine dumb shit [/quote] For your sake and that of your posterity... I truly hope that English is your 2nd langauge . I almost had to whip out the Rosetta Stone to decipher that compilation of profanity and mispelled words. As for your car looking like shizz...you said it ... and the general consensus is that the engine is respected and not the exterior... It's a 4-door sedan I am truly hoping that your near 70,000 post count is some type of typo...bragging about your presence at this site is borderline disgusting and sad. And resorting to name calling is a big surprise Bill...,but it fits your persona of immature and stupidity filled posts. Hmmmm... wonder why they never made you a mod with all your time spent here? You are truly an untapped resource... meh [/quote] too bad it's the internet, what does misspelled words have to do with anything? trying to figure out something to say dumbass? no the car is respected, NOT by people like you, just like others don't respect the celica first of all, isaac added 50k posts to my post count for what reason i don't know...maybe because i'm much more helpful than you and been here longer? why would i care about being a moderator? i have other things to do than sit on here, the only good thing is i can lock up assholes like you. i guess you can't take name calling don't like me? [/quote] wow this is the longest list of quotes ive seen ~ p.s: quote this post of mine and it will be EVEN LONGER

Instead of dumping money on mods, buy a real fast car, like a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Corvette, or hell, even a Mustang will go faster. Everyone else has said what already needs to be said. Flame on!

I love my celica, i want that to be known. stock it had 6.6 0-60 time (car and driver), but with the new crop of fast cars like the srt-4, rsx-s, and the new colbolt ss (chevy supercharged remade caviler) it seems like the celica is just over matched. and all these cars handle as good as the celica, just go a lot faster. When the celica came out in 2000 it was designed to beat the honda prelude. which it does, now the rsx is designed to beat the celica. When i started this post i was pissed about my last night of racing. I had no idea that so many poeple would take it personly. i love my celica and a good sprited drive through the country yesterday helped me to remember that. It is not the fastest 4 banger on the road, but it is the most fun to drive. however it is sad to see what has happened to this message board. There was a time when people where positive about others, but to look back through this post and the negitivity that is in it is just sad. This is joylover24; signing off

Don't sign off yet. What one of these cars out handles the celica? Or comes even close? The Chevy colbalt is SLOW!!! Yes the SRT-4 is faster...IT IS Turbo'D! Furthermore, it handles like SHIT! Oh, and the RSX-S...BAH! I sure as hell haven't lost to one yet. And the celica handles better than it anyday.

i fhink its to slow for it looks on the straigths but in my case that is a good fhink becuase if not i cuddent afford it. and even if its slow for it looks way is it slow you will own a lot of cars with a gts here i live i wudd have owned every one and is the rsx-s faster than the gts i have heard they are equale. if its slow for you Turbo it and if you dont can afford it then its good in your case its slow to. its own in the corners ok then it owns the corners and get owned at the straigth

oh yeah also because it's a toyota wouldn't want a car that would break down 3-5 years of buying it. i bought it for reliability and because a 1.8 engine is good enough for me with the gas prices lately. for the guy(people) complaining about how it's slow, well, then buy a mustang cobra... http://www.slyperformance.com/extra/erikblownup.WMVnice car and all, but eh...you get the point..it's a ford.
