500bhp celica..what they SHOULDA MADE!! Options

[95st-celica]

The result is the RMM Ultimate Celica . The car started life as a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S in FWD form . The end result was a raging 4wd monster . The engine and driveline came from the ST-205 Celica GT-FOUR , and was then shoehorned in . This is a classic example of what Toyota "should" have made . The engine whipped out 500 bhp [372.9kw[ at 8000rpm and 460.9nm [339.9ftlbs] of torque at 5500rpm . Around the 19"x8.5" wide wheels on each corner is 245 / 35 - 19" rubber and inside that is 312mm disks for some serious stopping power .

The end result is facinating !



that car is f*ckin sick...wish toyota wouldnt have sucked it up when they were designing these..the fron is ugly as hell but the rear is sexy...but with 500 awd brake hp who is complaining??

ok well what if your older and you cant afford a vette but you like the style of the imports..i see a lot of the older generation driving around in 350's, infinit g35 coupes, supras and even gsx eclipises...its still a matter of taste....not all old people can afford 80k vettes....if toyota made a celica like the one above...with maybe not as radical of numbers and more streetable...something to hang with an evo and sti...from the factory im sure it would sell better...and if mitu****ty and suburu can mass produce a very streetable fast car and sell it well wnough to keep it in production and toyota can't then theres something wrong there.... i think they should just redo the whole body style when/if they come back out with it...an awd celica that keeps up with an evo will def. sell....im sorry....now will it sell in the older generation as much as the younger? proably not...i dont see too many 40 and 50 year old dudes drivin sti's and evo's...but they are out there...anyway the point of the post was caus i thought it was a sick lookin car...never seen a 7th gen like that before.....its good stuff...the guy that had that built is older and prolly has millions...just thoguht id share

toyota had cars similar to sti's and evos. the mkiv supra and st185. those didn't sell very well. even if they brought back something similar, it wouldn't sell as well as a corolla or camry. and that's all toyota is after. making as much money as possible. and they're doing it very well.

this is very true...but since they have taken over and made more then GM these last couple of quarters they are steering back in the direction of performance....of course corolla's and camary's are gonna sell better...just like a lancer sells better then an evo...whats the point?..all im saying is toyota has no cars that perform well up to date....and what better choice to throw some HP in then the celica?
