Congrats.

[CelicaZR]

Well done
Good to see you representing 6gc.

[hitcachi]

Please dont qoute me on this, but i think the fastest FWD car in the world is a 6th gen celi. I remember seeing it in a popular science article. I am not 100% sure on this, so if anyone has anymore info, please post.

[Drocay]

i'm not sure if that record still stands but yes it used to be true.

[SHERMAN]

I pretty sure that the HKS 6th gen Celica was the first FWD car to break 8 seconds but for the fastest FWD car is or was recently Lisa kudro with a Saturn ion that broke 7 seconds. And for a celica to run 8 seconds i bet that it was far from a celica any more

Indeed. I know of 600bhp 4wd Celicas that struggle to break 10s...

[tim86]

damn i missed battle of the imports and i usually go to that too... celica looks nice man, like the kit and congrats on the win... is the crazy fast 8 sec celica your talking about... the red one?

[BBoYRuGGeD]

sweet good job bro i like that rear btw

bboy

[burneeed]

8 sec fwd 6gc.... hrm... that would have to be well over 700whp...

[Supersprynt]

I dont buy that for 1 second.

[tim86]

hes prob talking about the rwd beast

[drdos]

hes prob talking about the rwd beast

that's crazy

[celicagurl152003]

congrats on the win that's great

[DeW_H0e_GT]

congrats bro....nice car u got there.....

[6gc_driven]

yup..thats the beast!! n it is rwd..it didn win yesterday tho..although it ran 8's.. it didnt win cuz most of the runs he would start loosing control, so he would jus lay off the gas..unlike some other idiots who would lose control, get control of the car again, n then punch again..caused 1 of the dudes in an Rx-7 to flip his car like 8 times n a lexus to smack against the guard rail. Im happy this driver didnt push the celica after loosin a bit of control, or else i wouldve cried if he crashed it!! but me n him were the only two 6gc's at the show/race..kinda made me feel proud. thnx to everyone for the congrats BTW.

[soulshadow]

hes prob talking about the rwd beast

Im beginning to think that photo is photo-chopped. The hood just don't look right at an angle along with the headlights and what not. I think its a supra chopped to look like a 6gc!

[burneeed]

wtf? anyone know this guy? I wonder how he converted to rwd with getting rid of the axles in the front? I wonder what his motor set up is..... hrmmmmmm?

[x_itchy_b_x]

get that guy on the forums. lol. im willing to bet its just a celica thats been gutted and has some american v8 in it i might be wrong lol. but who knows.

[burneeed]

or he could of somehow found a way to put a e153 in and kept the front part of the car up without the axles....... and making it rwd....?

[BLACKcelicaGT]

Please dont qoute me on this, but i think the fastest FWD car in the world is a 6th gen celi. I remember seeing it in a popular science article. I am not 100% sure on this, so if anyone has anymore info, please post.

the fastest front wheel drive car is a civic si running 28lbs of boost

[tim86]

its actually a real car... I think there was a thread on it before, but I can't find it, nor do I know what engine he is running... Pretty sure its not just some v8 though because it does run with imports (and the event was an import event), but I really cant prove it... couple more pics, and ive seen this car once in person

[BBoYRuGGeD]

that guys running a 5S-GTE setup...hang on i'll try to find his site...

edit: http://www.nhrasportcompact.com/2005/drivers/l_ferrer.html
this guy use to be running a 3SGTE in the FWD class and i think when he converted to RWD he converted his 3SGTE into a 5SGTE

bboy

Holy sh*t that's awesome. I hope my MR2 friend in Florida sees that. He used to kid me that my Celica would never be as fast as his MR2T. Even when I had the Caldina GT4 motor in my garage getting ready to go in.
Of course he's probably right.

[burneeed]

wow... how do i talk to this guy... I really have to figure out how he did rwd? With what tranny... its impossible with the front axles...

[6gc_driven]

ive seen this car in person myself..twice. and ive seen him run the track more that 10 times..it it sure does not soun like an american v8...well, i guess someone already figured out what he has under the hood..all i could say it was a privilege to see this 6gc on the track. if u go to any of the Battle of the imports events (at least the one in florida)..i'll gurantee you he is there. car is definitly not photochopped n is not a supra..as a matter fact, there wasnt a single supra at the event on sunday n e way.

[CelicaZR]

That thing is just beautiful
Why didnt you ask him to join here 6gc_driven?

[burneeed]

still no comment on rwd tranny or how he did it?

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

I dont buy that for 1 second.

i 2nd that.

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

[tim86]

^ good info, thanks

[phat94celi]

Another tranny option could possibly be the 6-speed that is used in the JDM Altezza. It is RWD with a 3sge motor. Not sure if the bellhousing would be the same on the RWD motor and a FWD motor though.

[burneeed]

yah there is 3sge rwd over seas.....

[6gc_driven]

i wouldve bro..but i was too focused on the show n my car n thins like that..n besides..there was like 562837497 people by the pit area where his car was at, n i really wasnt going to try n figure out who the driver was n thins like that jus to tell him to join..but hey...it wouldve been kool if he was on here tho..
