"And a GS can take an ST as well. An RS might be good competition for you."

The gs and the rs both have the same engine on 95+ eclipse. You will be able to beat a non turbo eclipse with your celica if it had the 5sfe. with the 7afe you might start side by side. I race a RS for kicks a friend of my cusins. I was driving my ae92 corolla GT-S rated at 115 hp at 6600 rpm could rev to 8000 rpm and 105 ft/lb of tq at 6000 rpm regardless I was able beat him in the launch then he went in front of me about 1 car length then i started cacthing up again. This was up hill. my gt-s wiegths about the 20lb less then a 6th gen st celica. BUt with the 5sfe im sure you cad hand it to him. Besides he let me drive the thing and its not that fast. My gt-s spun more tire than that thing on 1st gear dropping the cluth. any ways if its a RS or GS and you got the GT you more likely than not have a chance if its the GS-T or GS-X then hope you got the all trac celica.
