Whats with all these automatic ST guys trying to go as fast as possible all of a sudden.
The problem is that you guys have 90hp under the hood going through an automatic trans. Stop putting your life in danger by trying to floor your car for 10 miles, just for some bs bragging rights. Grow up... really.

some times its not for braging wrights its for info, st gt it dont matter man i like to drag at the track and one day i hope my auto st is got enough power that i might need to go faster than 105 on the 1/4 mile

you'll need a 3s swap or a gooood turbo setup.
105 is a good mid 13 sec. 1/4

I have a 5 speed ST. and when i was 16 i HAD to try it out. Getting to 100 wasn't too bad, but after was a frozen bottle of molasses. Def didn't do it for bragging rights, but more out of curiosity.



EDIT: pic removed. bad idea

just wanted to add but i got my 97 celica st up to 120 then the engine lights came on and wouldn't go any faster. And no it wasn't on 10 miles of flat ground i actually didn't take as long as i was expecting.

The speed limiter on my 95 was the rev limiter in 6th gear...I had it going 132 down the highway with stock tires and everything, was into redline...and then on ice one time this winter I hit 135 as I banged off the rev limiter in 5th. So thats that.

6th gear? Huh? you mean 5th?


mines a totally stock 94 GT. The fuel cut off (or something did) at 125mph. It just wouldn't accelerate anymore, even though it wasn't red lined yet. Oh well.

I have a 95 Celica GT, the reason your car won't go any faster stock is because at 125mph your engine is taching right around 5800 rpm, which is the end of the power band for the 5sfe. I get irritated cause civics have longer gear ratios and can get up to 135 stock, that's crap
