how fast are GTs, 5sfe Options

[Malhar95]

So now that i got my car almost fixed....i realized that my car doesnt want to go over 122 mph.
is that normal or is there still something wrong with the car, maybe just the tuning.

even though the rpm is around 4500 4800, the car doesnt really go anywhere...just wanted to make sure if thats normal or anywhere close to other GT celicas

thanks

I dont get the point in why you would want to go 140 mph, down a road, in the dark, with a car that shouldnt be able to go past 95 safely.

Now your car is completely different from what I stated above, with the numbers your LS2 has im sure you trap at the same my friend twin turbo ls2 does.

Comparing your car to a 6gc is like comparing a cheetah to a sloth, your car idles faster than a gt can go.

You mean acceleration then. Who cares about top speed? Leave that to McLaren F1's and Buggati Veyrons. You can turbo your 5SFE. I've seen 5SGTEs put down about 300hp. But if you don't want to turbo or swap, most you can cost-effectively do is your normal intake, header, exhaust mods. N/A, these cars are pretty slow...

Yeah, I dont have that much experience with these cars, but in general if you have any plans on making your car faster... just keep saving the money and go forced induction first. I remember spending boatloads of money on bolt-ons for basically crap performance. I think I only raised my trap speed 2-3 mph. For the price of all the boltons I could have bought used supercharger kit; which I did eventually anyway.
