1994 3000GT SL versus a 2002 Celica GT, who would win?

VR4 or no, if it's a VR4 then there's no comparison. I dont know about just a stock 3000GT though, dont know how those are performance wise.

SL is a mid 15-second car, while the Celica GT is a high 15, low 16-second car.

No it won't. The Celica GT is SLOW. You must be thinking of the Celica GT-S. I was being overly generous when I said the GT is a high 15-second car.

lol GT is 140 HP and GT-S is 180 but in third gear the lift kicks in and gives extra power. I change question now, GT has no chance, what about GT-S however?

Celica GT-S -
180 HP @ 7600RPM
Torque - 130 @ 6800RPM
Weight - 2500 lbs

3000GT SL -
222 HP @ 6000RPM
Torque -205 @ 4500RPM
Weight - 3200 lbs

Now Make Decision Please

well, when you said one was high 15's, and other was mid 15's, then it would come down to driver.
I know the celica is slow, but I didn't know it was THAT slow, I was taking your word on it.
All things being equal, I would take the 3000gt in both comparisons. Based on those numbers, it makes it's power much sooner than the celica.

This is a race between a couple of slow cars. See if you can find a minivan too follow behind and film it.

I'd give the nod to the SL. Its got a wider power band.

If it were the 3000GT SL vs. the Celica GT I would say the SL would win. However, if it were SL vs. the GT-S I would say the GT-S would win.

you guys should have compared the celica gt to the base model 3kgt

KrNxRaCer00 · #13 01-13-2004, 05:20 AM

gt-s would beat the sl (stock vs stock, equal drivers)

gt-s usually runs 15.1-2 and takes nicely to bolt-ons. guy i know w/ one runs high 14's w/ only a i/e. they're pretty quick...for a toyota

j/k

The SL is the base model 3000GT.

No it isn't. The base model has a 160HP SOHC V6, and is slow as a dog, and will probably barely tie a 1979 Celica, LOL.

I know, I beat one of those with my old Civic LX.
