Celica Alltrac smokes PT cruiser turbo

[Igovert500]

30% drivetrain loss seems pretty high to me, even for AWD, but I don't know the car, so maybe it is that high. Normal AWD losses are 20-25% stock IMO.

Anyway, as far as PT turbo cruisers...those things suck. I drove a bunch at work (dealership) and you could race the hell outta them and never even hear the turbo. They are hideous, and have so little visibility from inside I can't imagine anyone wanting to own one, letting alone thinking of modding it...but to each his own I guess.

I love the Celica All Trac Turbos. It's too bad that Toyota didn't make that many of them. I think they have an advantage at launch against the similarly powered MR2. Too bad they are soo heavy. Needless to say nice run.

hes probably talkin about a 5th gen, 200BHP at the crank, they dyno in at about 160 at the wheels at 3200 pounds

I hear modifying those 3Sgte engines are pretty hard for the gt4s...but shouldnt they be the same as the mr2 engines? I've seen a couple up here, but i'd expect them to be an equal match against a stock 1gen DSM. Those are some pretty nice all-tracs tho!
PT Crusiers suck ass, i had to drive one for my 6 hour driving permit. It just straight up sucks.

They don't have much advantage over an MR2 gotta remember, mr2's are midengine, which means more weight over the drive wheels As long as the tires stick it's good to go

GT4`s have an advantage on the launch, but shortly after that the lightweight little MR2`s soon catch up, the turbos are real flying machines once they get going.

I'd rather have an MR2. Even though awd is awesome, those MR2 are just too cool to pass up IMO.

Nice Kill

It would have been cool to race the 7th gen (if it was a GT-S 6speed).. otherwise you would have smoked it. I've only seen one All-trac around here.. I saw it once going down the road, then a couple months later I saw it in an accident.. I hope it wasn't too bad

Do you have any mods to your car?? I've always wanted to run a stock All-trac.

Nice kill those alltracs are nice, but i would have seen you race the other celica

Guys this thread is 2 months old...please check the dates before you bring it back.

[GritMaster]

well he just had to inform us that he had both cars!

I mean come on Vert, isn't the world going to stop if we don't know he has both cars, which are also listed in his sig?

Nice kill.

And yes, the PT's are related to the neons. They ARE a neon, just with that ugly PT shell, the rest is pretty much the same.

Uhhh, think before you post.

The only thing the SRT-4 and the GT Cruiser have in common is the drive-train. They don’t share any other parts. Same goes for a regular Neon and the PT.
