Hey guys, my celica is abnormally quick. I shift at 5500 typically but I just changed the clutch and my car takes off like a bat out of hell. I know I was driving it slipping before and it makes a difference but my other car is a 1982 camaro with a 350 and 345 horsepower (net) under the hood. I bought my celica from some kid who had the engine rebuilt because he blew it up and it has maybe 20k on it now, i've only driven it maybe a thousand miles.but everyone talks about how slow these cars are stock, mines really not. Had a friend pull it apart and he said the car isn't stock and as far as he can tell. He owned one for years, a 5th gen though and he said it's nowhere close to his. But all I can tell it has is a cold air intake....what the hell could they have done when it was rebuilt?ported the heads maybe?

ill drive my Supra and OWN you ALL!!!! Not the 1982 Corvette with a supercharged 632 I have in my mind. My celica should not have a higher idle than my camaro....just sayin. Of course it should. Most 4 cylinders idle around 800 rpm, most 6 cylinders around 650 rpm, and most 8 cylinders around 500. At least that's been the general rule with all the cars I've had. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
