Just wonderin if anyone wit a 2.4 has raced a celica n what the outcome was?

 

i raced the GT celica and it wasint even close for them, i was gone in sec. the gts i havent raced one theres not to many around where i live.

 

i killed a late 2001ish celica gt in my 2.2 back when i would street race

 

Pretty cool, but I was hopin for a GT-S...the GT only has 140 hp...the GT-S has 180 and if i'm not mistaken its a fairly light car...

 

2500 lbs and 140 poneys in the GT 180 poneys in the GTS for a 2001 celica v/s 2880 and 173 hp both cars have nonsensically low torque numbers. Power to weight ratio say we could take a gt but not the gts stock.

If your gonna flame numbers, know that i don't care.

 

from what ive heard its a drivers race, those gt-s have 6 speeds and lanch nice, if the 2.4 can get the lanch u should have the advantage..but again its a drivers race

 

x2, youll kill a gt but the gts will be very close.

 

130 torque...i'll just race him uphill =P. jk. its rated 15.6 1/4 mile at sea level according to http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

 

I come from the world of lift, vibe gt/matrix xrs,a 2.4 wins,the 2zzz engine lift engages at a high band rpm,but these cars are a dream in the autoX,also if one is turboed we are fucked

 

I pulled away with ease from a Celica GTS. Theyre lack of torque reallllllllllllly hurts them. Try to catch a new Civic Si for a good race with an SS/NA.

 

I thought Si's were supposed to be slightly faster? They're rated about 15.1...again from that same website

 

yeah i find the new SI to be faster then the ss/na but its close again were slight driver error can re-determine the race.

as far as mikes comment...really anything with a turbo in it can roll us haha cant compete with forced induction

 

wrong section, There is nothing 2.4 technical related...

Please post in the Lounge, or War Stories next time

 

lol this is everything to do with the tech..uhh..

<Insert tech info here>

 

moved to the war stories section.

 

haha what reign says goes!

 

GT OR GTS celicas are dog **** slow . they have to run around 16's

 

if its an automatic gt-s you will own it horribly.

 

i have a 2.2L and killed a celica by 2 car lengths and i was bone stock at the time

 

Well I hate to break it to all of you but I had a 2003 Matrix XRS with the 2ZZ-GE engine.....and I pulled many times on the 2.4. Off the line, the 2.4 will pull from the 2ZZ, but higher up in the RPM...it is tough. With a shift point of 8200rpm on the 2ZZ......it definitely helps with pulling on cars. It surprises a lot of people.

The bad thing about the 2ZZ is there is NO low end tourque. But for 2008.....the Matrix and Vibe are going to come with a 2.4L engine as well....producing something like 160hp and 175 lb/ft tourque. So the low end issue has been addressed. And the 2.4 for Toyota has tonnes of aftermarket support already with the Camry, and Scion tC. The new Corolla for 2008 is going to have the same engine as well.

Of course.......Chevy is better. There is a reason I traded the Matrix XRS in for the Cobalt SS S/C.

 

i don't see any 2.4's running 14's stock

 

i came close

 

you're half a second off.

i had a 2k gts 6spd celica.
14.6@96 mph. box stock.

 

haha ouch...nice times

 

so we both come from the same car.LOL!! is it the ecotec going into both brands,also do you have any pics of both new designs comming out?
