Hey everybody, I have had my 94 celica gt for about a year and have been ok with its acceleration, but I have been researching other cars (and trucks lol) and realizing that it is fairly slow in comparison. I love the way our cars handle and maybe that is all they are good for. I was wondering what it takes for our cars to hit mid 15 runs. I have read all the stickees and have researched 6gc's pretty thoroughly. It seems that stock my Gt should run around a 17 second run, but bolt ons (intake and exhaust) do not greatly reduce perforance in our cars. Without going forced induction or a swap will an intake and exhaust get me in the mid 15 range. Is there anyone on here that consistantly hits these numbers and isn't using forced induction or swapped. I currently just have a intake and am wondering if spending the money on a exhaust is worth it.

Aside from what was posted ^^^^^ alot of it is reaction time to the lights... You maybe taking longer to hit the pedal than you realize, practice on lights in your area(best done at night) You can watch the other lanes lights turn to yellow then watch yours... You dont have to pound the pedal, you can, but your should be focusing on getting the motions down as fast you can... Once that is perfect, and quick, the rest is up to your car, and what you put into it.
