My celica vs... Options

[dustin15brown]

What performance mods will it take me in my 96 5spd celica st to beat my brother's 2004 40th aniversary 4spd automatic v6 mustang. He has 190 HP SAE @ 5,250 rpm; 220 ft lb , 298 Nm @ 2,750 rpm, and has a curv weight of 3,114 lbs. I know it'll take a good ammount from the tuning aspect, but is there ne way around the turbo? Or to be faster than him I'll need to get a T-3 or ct-26? Thanks guys

You may be suprised in that it may not take much to edge him out. STs arent much slower than V6 mustangs stock for stock. Especially 5 speed ST vs auto mustang. Remember you have weight on your side, just strip off some of that sound deadening they put on 96+s and then do some simple mods and you may be able to comfortably get a lead on him every time.

from a stop you will lose. but from a roll it should be pretty close. cai, exhaust, pulley should ensure a victory from a roll
