2000 Celica GT Auto 1/4 mile times??????/

My mother got a 2000 Celica brand new when they first came out. She got the GT with the automatic trans I told her to get the GTS with the 6 speed but she said no.

I took it to the track and it ran a 17.55@80 MPH

This is bad I think cuz my brother 99 cavalier 2d ran a 17.44@80 mph He had the 115hp 2.2l OHV and a 3 speed auto. The cav weighs about 200 LBS more than the celica

Does anone else think the Automatic equiped Celicas are slow?


thanks, jason

i think all celicas are slow...except for all-tracs.....

the gt auto's are slow, I think the corolla is faster

Why are the GT Autos so slow? What should a 5 speed GT run?

^ Because you have a 1.8L engine... an automatic transmission... and no thought towards performance... hence... the GTS Model was produced. Ya know... 140hp is practically Civic range... not much power. This is why the MRS is such a POS... cause it got stuck with the 1zz and shitty plasic ass styling.

my m8s got a 200 celica auto and i got a 1991 corolla both stock except for the celica having an exaust system and i still managed to beat him in a drag:D
