what do u mean by speed? like top speed, or 0-60? (i personally refer to 0-60/ quarter mile, as quickness)
there is talk of a limiter at 118 on the ST, and 123 on the GT (IIRC) This topic is gonna be treading on thin ice tho, many of these threads turn into, "well i did xxx in my car" and then it falls under "illegal acts" and gets locked. So just be careful of what u post. -------------------- ![]() Kawi Love |

Acceleration sucks (especially since the 18" rims are installed), so basically quartermile sucks too...but ever since I played with my engine a bit, the max speed fact is pretty nice!
Went about 225-230 km/h (or about 140 mph) last summer whilst going to the seaside for a vacation (no need to say that I was in a hurry ![]() -------------------- ![]() Another proud 6G Celica owner! |

Just a note about top speeds. Speedos are dialed in the factor to be really accurate from 0-75, but after that it gets hazy. And if you've never changed out your VSS (Vechile Speed Sensor), odds are your readings are off and maybe you're expirencing a weird cruise control.
When I had my FC T2, everyone thought the car topped out at 155mph (I'll vouch) but some testing and radar clocking revealed the FC's were general topping out at 145-147mph. Proof the speedos werent dialed in too well. Food for thought. -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I recon these days even the GT-Fours (standard) are getting further and further down the food chain...I struggled to fend off my mates 2.6 turbo deisel Vauxhaul Vectra before I had a new ECU fitted.
Hot hatches here are getting hotter by the year, even some little Vauxhall Corsas come from the factory with around 200BHP. Big old heavy GT-fours are gonna get beaten more and more ![]() Even running 350BHP a few cars still suprize me that you wouldnt expect anything from....especially modern deisels, some are very rapid indeed. |
