15.5 for a celica gts. It would be a drivers race.

for real....that ____ only got like 140hp on it and inferior torque with both hp and torque in high RPM

GT
Horsepower 140 hp @ 6,400 rpm
Torque 125 lb.-ft. @ 4,200 rpm

GT-S
Horsepower 180 hp @ 7,600 rpm
Torque 130 lb.-ft. @ 6,800 rpm

after i read the specs. i am starting to think that we can even have a chance against the GT-S

ive seen a gt-s run at the track at its best a 16.2.... and my friends rsx type s best was 15.3 with I/H/E.... i ran a 15.8 with my lil nissan stock.. my friends mr2 turbo ran a 17.1, hes a sucky driver but he did it.. all you people think that everyone is gonna do their best race everytime.. imagine if i had my tc and i raced my cousins mr2 turbo when he ran 17.1.. i would have beat him, im actually a pretty good driver, not the best but pretty good.. if i came on here and said hey i beat an mr2 turbo, what would you all say??? OHH BS That car runs mid 14s stock!!... you know what??? he didnt that time and he wont everytime.. is my car faster...? not that race, can i say i beat him? yes i can because a race is a race.. when i read these threads i dont always throw out the possibilites of people beating high horsepower cars because you know what? it can happen... after my friend ran a 15.3 in his rsx, the guy ran consistent 15.9s... sure the tc wouldve had to have a real good run but it can be beat so woopty doo dahh

i also drive in a place that is 2000+ ft above sea level and tends to slow down cars a lil. plus LACR sucks cuz its uphill.. so everyone out here sucks then.

ok sorry but give me a break... A celica GT is SLOWER than a tC. I drove one... It was slow as hell. The GT-S is only better off than the GT when you get into the higher RPMS. So I'd say the GT-S can beat a tC if the driver knows what he's doing. The GT... forget it. Even 500 pounds can't make up for the inferior torque and horsepower compared to the tC.

Someone just get 1/4 mile times for each car that arent run by you or your buddy or his friend or his mom or her grandma, then everyone can shut up.

I raced my friends 2000 civic EX... I had em by like 3 car lengths Then had to pull over cause i was laughing too hard! BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

TimmyT

^^^^^^^ This was like at the 60 feet mark.

rsx_freak79

nice kill, but civic ex's are only 127hp.

TimmyT

Yup. but in the same class as a tC. so as they say on telemundo. "GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!"

rsx_freak79

nice kill then.

TimmyT

tankies I'm trying to transmutate these tC vs. threads into something more realistic.

TimmyT

the 2k5 rsx-s is only 65 lbs lighter than the tC manual, and has weaker numbers until it hits lift. 160 hp, 141 lb. then when it hits lift 210 hps. 143 lb at lift. http://www.acura.com/models/model_sp...asp?module=rsx

rsx_freak79

dude, check the link again. 160hp they talking about is from the base model not the S.

TimmyT

eep. my bad. rsx freak is right. Sorry for posting bad info guys. but in retrospec. the celica gt-s is 400 lb lighter. 180 hp and 130 lb of torque. that is a better comparison.

ajnast4r

400lbs is a huge difference... and it had 2000more rpms to stay in gear, more aggresive gearing & shorter gears. a celica is faster than a rsx type S when both are stock(with equal drivers)...

comparing a gts to a tc is stupid... the gts is superior. PERIOD

TimmyT

okay exactly what do you think "Lift" is? Lift is when VTEC uses the larger cam lobe to "LIFT" and allow more fuel/air to get into the cylincers. Correct me if I am wrong. vvt-i has no lift wich is why vtec is better than vvt-i (at lower rpms = better fuel economy, higher rpms overlaps intake and exhaust valves for performance). i-vtec is a combination of valve timing and using a larger cam lobe. but I will check and post again to make sure on the difference between vtec and i vtec. sorry again for posting bad info.
