A vvtl-i engine has it top power of 192hp at 7800 rpm (euro) so a redline at 7500 sound strange.

american spec celicas that are vvtl-i redliens start at 7800 rpms and end at 9, except for the '02 model year which i beleive the redline started at 7500 rpms and ended at 9.

^^unless they don't have many australian websites on google...austrlian information could be better. i could only find about 10 pages on the toyota celica sx..and the couple of pages i found specifications on didnt mention redline..thats ridiculous.

the difference between sx and the zr is that the sx is standard same engine same red line everything except the zx has a few extra things such as sun roof and abs brakes thats all stupid realy if you ask me the price for a zr is like $47'000 just for those extra features and the sx that doesnt have those extra stuff is around $40'000 but the engine everthiing is the same but yeah no kidding they both start red lineing at around 7500 and end at 9000

I believe it's 7800rpm redline and 8400rpm fuel cut-off.
But then again those are the North America specs, Euro and Asia and Oceanic seem to get other models like M-Sport and such that have 190bhp and such.
