yeah really.... this celi has been around for a while, does the fact that it has 400hp make it any better looking?

I have the Car and Driver Article about the Ultimate Celica, I keep all Celica related magizines in the magzine holder behind the seat for my passengers to read :)

No, because it is still slow as f*ck with all that power

Say wha????

:eek:

If that's not enough for you.....what are you used to driving? And even though the numbers the press got with it were impressive, there is a "Rod only" boost setting that no one else gets to drive.

I love that car, especially cause it's awd. Car and Driver didn't like it much though. I remeber them saying it's really sluggish off the line and the turbos kick in so violently it seems like somethings wrong. It got a really bad 1/4 mile time too. It's still a hell of a lot faster than any Celica we have.

i thot that one celica in puerto rico was faster (not can of toast) something crazy... remember it had a lot of power and knew what to do with it. (good quarter mile time)

the ultimate celica looks too much like a bird to me tho... and its yellow... like big bird on crack or seomthing
