as much as i hate it, i think the cav would win. theyre not actually slow cars, they just suck in quality .

[celiracer]

Hmmm, well I don't know how much slower a celica is when the rear struts are out. But i raced him almost a year ago, and my front bumper was at his rear, Thats when i got my clutch and was learning how to use it, and was granny shifting cause i wasn't used to it, but i was thinking about re-racing him, but i don't know if me knowing how to drive my car with the new clutch would make a diff or not. So how bad would i beat it if i raced him with my car and had a CT-26 turbo set up?

they are slow my mirage 1600 non turbo can beat the toyota cavalier plus most are autos and are slow and they look like s**t I can't wait till I get the ss2 hahaha.

he is refering to the US cavalier which is made by GM

no they are slow cars, were just slower

I think its still the same thing, just relabeled.

I know I would whoop the snot out of an auto 2.2L cavalier. Not sure bout a Z24

[snadman]

Yeah we know they are GM, but GM steals engines from Toyota...especially in that car. Many of the parts are toyota.

[presure2]

ahhh the good ole z24...the wifey had one before we got the celica..what a hunk of crap..lol
NA the z owns you...slap a turbo on the celica and you'll own it, easy

:EDIT: i guess i missed the part about it being a 97..in that case it should be much closer..the wifes was the older one...

its a 2.4 liter engine, my friend has one and we were racing yesterday his is 5 spd, we started even and it took like 30mph for him to start pulling away even though he only pulled by half a car length, we were only going like 80-90 so i think it would take u

ive been through the same thing, me and my buddy joe dragged at Toronto Motorsports park duin 1/4 mile. My GT-S, short ram intake, 2.5" catback, short shifter, other than that, stock...against his 2001 Cav z24, short ram intake, 2.5" catback exhaust, autobox. We punched it, he got me off the line, but come 3rd gear, the torque band kicks in nicely on the celi and i bumped ahead. Celi can win, depending on the driver/where u shift/how u shift. I was runnin on 94 octane that day with a shot of penzoil octane booster, and he was just runnin on every day 89 octane. Frankly when it comes to this, it comes down to the drivers. My friend has a '93 Geo Metro 1.0L that he turboed, pushin 90HP if that. He can spank old 5.0L Stangs. He raced a guy in my class this year in his 94 Mustang GT that was auto and spanked him horribly. It all depends on the driver/if they know how 2 drive

In Japan, the Toyota Cavalier isnt much different. It just has a high compression ratio and is just right hand drive and has toyota logos on it. My friend did some research on them cuz he wanted Toyota cav parts for CND made Cav. He found specs and the toyota one only has about 10 more HP if that.

Take the corners with that car. I can eaisly cream just about any car with my celica ST when it was still stock. I had 4 dead shocks, YES 4 dead shocks. I would follow turcks, cars, and hondas around my area traveling back and forth on HWY 59 going N. I would pass them and make them very pissed off, cause I drove very recklessly around the corners cutting lanes and stuff. My way of practice------> drive a camry. Those things have superior handling ability 2nd to none. The celica is just like the camry, just 2X better in everything.

[Celica_Fan]

the reason the mirage is faster is coz it's lighter don't your celicas have 3s-ge motors? I can rip the 2.4 cav's up they are slow and heavy.

[dustin15brown]

no, 3sge wasn't an option for the USDM celica for 94-99.... only the 7a (st) 5s (gt)

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I know there are a lot of Cavilers on the 4 cylinder dirt track racing. Boy, I am a hillbilly. DIRT TRACK, yee haw! Those things are pretty fast though, with simple bolt ons. I wouldn't want one for build quality. Just hope he breaks down, cause if he's modded, he'll eat you up.

[TrdPnoy]

Yo bro I think u can win a guy I work with has a z24 and after work we were at a set of stop lights and I had him until I made a turn to go home.

[TrdPnoy]

I forgot to add we He had an exhaust, intake

[95gtschick]

in all honesty, i think you could beat him.

[Guest_mon3y19_*]

you can beat a lot of cars you think you may not beat...all depends on the driver and how he shifts...yup
