Is there a reason to beat up on me?

I never took anything away from the car however I did say that it wasn't 600 hp and was closer to 400 which in his profile Tufy states.

just a reminder

That is the video I pull out when people say "all celicas are slow"
I would sell a Kidney for that car!

Drain your brothers oil then challenge him to a 5 mile race!
other than that you have a tough road ahead to beat him.

i always post that video cuz i find it very inspirational

The numbers in those videos are highly exaggerated I have to say. From the start of each race it takes the GT-4 an even 10 seconds to get to the camera that's down the track.
Now if this was truly measured to 402 meters (1/4 mile) then at that speed the Celica would be passing the camera while going about 143 MPH.
Just to give you an idea of a real comparison... look at this video and go to about 1:20 in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5gZF9EeIpY...feature=related

The skyline is going 205mph, the camera car is going 90mph, for a difference of 115mph.
Now imagine if that GT-4 video is legit and is is really passing the guy with the camera at 140mph... he would be blown off the road.

If I had to wager a guess I would say the GT-4 has about 350-400 hp, the STI is probably stock, and the Supra is running around 450-500 hp.
The GT-4 looks like a beauty but it is hardly the 600 hp monster that the video claims.

Here... is the Barbaris Celica running low 9's. This is what I show people who say Celica's are slow lol.

As to the 2...4... 8 turbo's for our Celica's how about this to save money.
Get a CAI and just re-pipe it. You see you remove your entire exhaust except your header, and then connect the CAI straight to your header.
Not only do you add horsepower but you now have a 0 emissions vehicle.



Seriously though, you are probably in the same position that I am right now. In school, broke, and driving a car that you'd love to turn into a project. I have upgraded minimal things as they have gone. Intake, header, clutch, brake pads and rotors, tires. But I have no illusions of high HP from a daily driver when I'm a college student. If you love your car that much wait it out, learn the ins and outs of it so you can do ANY needed repair, upgrade lightly as things break, and then after you've got a real world job see if its still something you're interested in making a project.

do you always trust what they say on youtube?

my only point on the vid is the gt-four wins
