I had a 87 ST, and that was a fast, zippy car. I had to sell it and now i bouht an 95 ST. I assumed it would be faster or at least the same speed. However it is slow, a 87 is much faster in accelaration. Do I have a probelm with the engine? Or is this just the speed of the 6th gen STs??

7th gen Celica GT is 140hp stock. An exhaust ain't adding 20hp. 15% power gain with an exhaust on a 4cyl? Maybe with some stickers on there. A 96 ST has 105 HP stock. Let's add 8 years worth of wear and tear on the engine, and you're sub-100. Add your CAI and maybe you're at 100 again. Add your 2.5" exhaust to a 1.8L N/A engine and you're sub-100 again. Add heavy 17s and you slowed your car some more... plus any other visual mods you have on there weighing it down. If you were racing a 7th gen with 195HP you'd KNOW it -- with the ****tiest driver in the world, as long as he steps on the gas and made his shifts...he'd win. there is no way you'd take him, let alone obliterate him. My guess is he wasn't even racing. Sorry bro. - aba This post has been edited by abatardi: Feb 26, 2004 - 12:26 AM |
