96 SL vs..... celica gts!!!

[Igovert500]

haha, id have 2 agree. Anyways, celicas really arn't much of a challenge. They look fast like their commercials said..but in reality they are nothing amazing. SL and the 350z should both take it pretty easily. And I'd agree with youngvr4, every once in awhile its fun to see if you can beat cars cruising in 5th or never going above 3000rpms. But that can also be a pain when you're cruising in 6th at 2200 and some bastard wants to race and you have to play catchup for the first 200yards. I met some riced out honda took off when I was just cruising, so at the next light I asked him what he runs, he replied 13.8. I told him I run 13.5, he laughed and mubbled something about 15.5 When it turned green I proceeded to demonstrate what the vr4 can do in 2nd and 3rd WOT....he didn't roll down his window at the next light....

i only have 4 but that 4th gear can extend close to 200 mph, believe it or not, 4200 rpms at 120, you do the math

as for the celica, those cars virtually have no torque whatsoever so it will take him a while to get to 180ish hp whatever it has, i'd have to put my money on the 3000

Celica GTS has something called lift in 3rd gear which gives it extra power, no clue what it is but its supposed to be nice. Other than that im pretty sure the SL would take it hands down, ive yet to race one though. I posted this comparison on a GTS and they are like dude we would smoke you and im like yeah okay
