2003 celica gt-s vs 2002 v6 mustang

lilpud · #1 09-20-2005, 03:48 PM

ok i have a bet with this guy that has a 2003 manual gt-s celica bone stock. i have a 2002 manual v6 mustang with an intake and exhaust.
i was wanting some of ur thoughts on who might win in 1/8 and 1/4 mile......

GTS' can break into the 14's stock. I'm assuming a stock v6 mustang would run somewhere in the mid 15's. Hopefully those mods of yours helped.

Sounds like it'd be a driver's race to me. Good luck.

Celica should win as long as the guy knows how to drive.

Refer to this thread in the future if you have any more "who will win?" threads in mind:

now if we go from a rollin start i no i will get him but off the line he is going to get the jump and i think thats the only thing that might hurt me

Actually it's the other way around. FWD vs. RWD.

Ya, you would be better from a stop since you have more torque and are RWD. The Celica is only good at high revs. However, it has the same amount of power as you and weighs noticably less, unless he is a shitty driver, he should win.

well your car runs a mid 15 stock, most of the time people say a gt-s runs a high 14 stock. idk how much your mods will help... but i think hes gonna win. keep us posted on the results im actually quite interested, seeing as how i have a v6 mustang. and hopefully this race happens... and your not just getting opinions

I feel like an ass, but did he really? Lol

Back to the topic, your mods can help you out (if you know how to drive stick well)... Not saying that you cant, but still either way, my friend has a stock 02 gt-s, and its a pretty fast car... so I'm going to go with the celica... just because I dont really favour F.O.R.D's...

GForce957 · #12 09-20-2005, 10:17 PM

celica takes the win

FWD RWD who cares if your both underpowered? I've seen stock integras pull 2.0's at the race track, and rwd cars run consecutive 2.3's and 2.4's. Unless of course your all wheel drive then I don't think it's going to be much of an advantage on the street. Don't get me wrong RWD kills FWD on launches, but with as little power as you both have it won't matter much, I think its more up to the driver. BTW Id go with the gt-s.
