Hi

What is the aerodynamics of the Celica?
and how stable is it at high speeds...
and what is the fastest a Celica have driven?

Cheers

What you've got to remember is that the road version of the GT-Four is essentially the rally machine. In the world of rallying, no one gives a rat's ass about top speed. There's no point in having a 200mph limit when you never get to use it since in WRC you have to slow right down every few hundred yards to negotiate difficult corners. The only thing that matters is that you can accelerate like a demon and corner like there's no tomorrow. To reflect this, pretty much all rally-derived cars are limited to somewhere around the 150mph mark and have their gearing biased towards acceleration, not top speed.

That isn't to say that the ST-205 isn't fast, I don't think anyone would suggest that. It's a heck of a car and with the right parts I'm sure would accelerate like it's rear end was on fire. But you have to be realistic, you're never going to get 200mph+ out of it. It's not a straight-line sprinter. That's what Supras are for. The GT-Four is meant to be a supreme all-rounder, and that it's very good.

Besides, it depends where you're racing your friend and his GT2. If it's on the road, then unless he's mad he won't reach his potential top speed, meaning you'd have a chance. (My apologies about the length of this post, everyone.)
