New track times, went to the 1/4 mile Options

[mywhite94celicag...]

i went to the race track on saturday and it was import day so i decided to send my celica down a few times. heres my times

1st pass 17.392
2nd pass 17.247
3rd pass 17.279


i was told by a guy that knows alot about cars and drag racing that low 17s for a celica with only a few mods was pretty fast. he said that most celicas will run mid to low18's stock. i was like SWEET. i felt pretty good about that cause the guys that i went there with had a civic hatchback with amildly modified ZC 1.8 engine and he only ran a 16.893. that was his fastest time, all 4 or so other passes were slower then mine they were like 17.4 or 17.5. so that also made me feel pretty good. let me know what ya think, if they are slow or fast for the celica gt????

That's pretty slow... sorry to say.

I ran my old 94 ST stock around 16.9-17.2... after heavy mods I/H/E, S-AFC, complete port and polish head work, Underdrive pulley, I was able to pull mid-high 15's all day. With a 75 shot...I hit 14's...
My current 95 ST can hit low 16's with I/E and Underdrive pulley.

As far as the GT's go... my friend has an MR-2 that hit 16.0 stock... The Celica Gt's and MR-2's weight relatively the same, and have the same motor... so I would expect they can hit similar numbers...stock.

And about the Civic Hatch with a 1.8... which 1.8 motor? What is the ZC 1.8? All the Civic hatbacks came stock with either the D16 or the D15 (US spec). the 1.8 motors were B series motors, and when dropped in a Civic, they usually can haul some ass. Even the non-Vtec 1.8 B18's put out about 140 hp....
