a kid from my work with a 91 celica with a exhaust is always talkin junk about my family car, it gets me sooo so i left work just to show him what my max could really do, there was a lot of traffic, so i couldnt get too many car lengths on him, but when i looked in my rear view mirror all i saw was ... now he has respect for maximas

 

wat year was the celica. if it is the current models it must be a gt. The celica gts wouldve walked on you easily.

 

A Celica GT-S will not walk a Maxima... plus he has a y-pipe and pop charger.

 

Naaa I don't think so I raced my friends 2000 6 spd gt-s and beat him by half a car length and had three people in the car he has intake and exhaust

 

I beat my friends 2000 GTS but he was an auto.

 

 

A Celica GT-S will not walk a Maxima. Those cars are absolute dogs below 6000 rpm. It drives like a Corolla. But after 6000 rpm, the car really comes alive but by that time, the Maxima will already be way ahead. Maxima > GTS!

 

Thats funny

Do those things even have 100 hp? Some people just assume all 4dr cars are slow...

I've sat in a Matrix with the GTS engine, and yeah, it's pretty cool after 6000 RPMs...too bad it couldn't feel like that throughout the rev band.

 

ah! my first car was a 89 celica GT. I dropped a 91 engine in it too. they are SLOW haha. My brother drives it now... it's mostly all show and no go lol. Now if it was an All-Trac Turbo... 4 wheel drive, turbo YUM.

i just restored that car too a while ago. the suspension blows my maxima away but when it comes to power... no comparison.

btw my celica also had popcharger w/ exhaust... maybe pushing 135HP.

 

it was a GT-S, 5 spd, i also beat my buddy with a 02 celica GT-S 6spd, he has the action package, the 02 is all show and not a lot of go

 

*********The celica gts wouldve walked on you easily************

Please tell me this is not true... if this is true then it can only be true to some maxima driven folks who:

1. never changed their oil in 456,980 miles
2. the maxima had a flat tire and 768 pounds of luggage in the trunk
3. the maxima driver was 97 years old, sedated, and looking for the nearest bingo hut in reverse
4. maxima was filled to the brim with 87 octane, and was riding on 25 inch rims, with the parking brake up
5. maxima was being towed by big truck but celica driver was drunk and didnt notice

 

WOW THATS GREAT, I AM STILL LAUGHING

 

OMFG ROFL!@

 

the new Gt-s celicas are pretty quick actually. they lack in torque, but it will walk a 4th gen on the highway, and give a real good race to a stock 5speed. people run anywhere from 14.8-15.3 with the Gt-s 6speeds, very close times to a 5speed max. they push 180hp and weigh about 300lbs less than a max
