Gs-R vs Celica Gt-s

[misterhmong]

I was on my way home from eating ramen noodles at a japanese place called Chopstix. As i got on the highway, i noticed a celica (00-up) coming up behind me fast. he blew passed me and i noticed the gt-s badge. i played the old chase game with him and when we finnally lined up at around 65 ish, i honked 3 times and we were off. i downed to 3rd gear and immediatle pulled about a fender, from then on i just kept walking on him all the way until i hit about 135 or so. my buddy in the car with me said i had him by about 2-3 car lengths. he had no passenger. it was a good run!

how do you know it was an 03+...2000-2005 all look the same.

my gf had one of those things...dirt slow

 

[misterhmong]

yeah, forgot they changed at 2000, yeah slower than i expected.

Just an FYI.....

00-01 are faster than GSR's. The rev limit changed in 02 causing them to fall out of VVTLi when shifting.

The 00-01 sprinted 0-60 in about the same time as an ITR

I thought it would be a close race.

isnt vvti only single cam? they have an economy cam and a performance cam right?

The VVT-i system is similar to the i-VTEC system.

It can be on a DOHC or SOHC

The VVT-i system is similar to the i-VTEC system.

VVT-i is just variable valve timing intelligence. VVTL-i is similar to i-VTEC in the fact that it has seperate high and low rpm cam lobes. All VVTL-i engines are DOHC

 

[TeggyBear_Ls]

Yeah, VVT-i is always on. It doesn't kick like VTEC. VVTL-i is like VTEC, where it has valve lift.

Most GT-S celica's i've seen are slow as hell. My bro barely lost to one by 1 car length in his old POS 99 Altima all stock.... :lol:

However, they are pretty cool machines and they're motor is awesome... VVTL-i > VTEC.... Oh no he didn't! :shock:

 

[red98teg]

^ban him... he questions the power of vtec...

 

[Gbaby2089]

eh i thought it'd be real close, if the guy could really drive i'd think he'd stay with you

 

[dc2GS-R]

Remember, they do make the Celica GT-S in an automatic. They are much slower

 

[Gbaby2089]

wow i thought they were 6 speed only...that's ghey the corolla xrs is 6 speed only that's how it should be

 

[esco115]

here are ur spec on the GTS, indeed its not as slow of a car as ppl think if driven full force...
