They had a special show and had a TRD celica. They tested the car. It had widebody, TRD supercharger and other stuff. It was only a GT though. It had a 14.9 in 1/4 mile. That seems kind of slow for a car worth 44000. Man, TRD sure is expensive. cry

they said it put out the same power as a regular gts... thumbsdown thumbsdown but I did like the hood they made that custom fit the S/C

they also said on the show the celica was one of the best looking sports cars on the market thumbsup thumbsup

i wish i saw it...

but yea, the supercharger is worthless, you may as well just get a GTS with the money you're going to spend for the charger and custom hood and shit...

but cool otherwise grin grin

If it was a gts it would be gone. The guy who drove said something about the lift.

I saw it too, cool car.

It's got more torque and a smoother powerband than a GTS.

$44K a lot more can be done with a GTS and Turbo...

However, the guy testing it was like "This is just the GT, not the model with Variable Valve Timing"

7.5lbs actually.

And 14.9 isn't bad, because I think the GT with them ran in the 17's...

the TRD celica was made for the circut not the 1/4 mile. the supercharger gave it better horsepower and torque, to even out the power/weight ratio with a smooth power band to get in and out of the corners easily. with GTS you need to be in high rpm in order to use all of it's horses. the GT has more torque at a lower rpm so it's easier to drive at the circut.

Well in the same show they had a Civic Si (SiR in canada) that they swapped the engine from the JDM Civic R. It had 240hp and ran the 1/4 mile in 14.7 @98mph, and zero to sixty in 6.1 sec. The Celica had 166hp and ran the 1/4 mile in 6.2sec and zero to sixty in 6.2 sec. The celica had a 5 speed and the civic had a 6 speed put in. My question is how a lighter car with 74hp more couldn't put up better numbers? $48,000 Civic... no thanks. grin

that supercharger is for the 1zzge engine. i got the trd parts catalog.
"TRD's latest supercharger for the 1.8l-powered matrix and corolla offers up to an 30% increae in max hp from 130 hp stock to as much as 170 hp and 6,800 rpm 0-60 time inproved from 9 sec to 8.3 and the 1/4 mile acceleration time from 16.7 at 84 mph to 15.8 at 84 mph."

the supercharger is recommended for the matrix but the matrix has the same engine as the gt.

i really wish though that c&d did the write up on a gts and really show wat toyota and trd can pack into one punch.
