GTS Celica vs. MSP

[TurboMan]

I've got a homie with a GTS Action Package Celica with an Injen Intake and a TRD Exhaust. He keeps bugging me to race, but I'm pretty sure I'll lose 'cause I'm stock. However, I'm curious how close of a race it would be. How bout some input?

driver race...

 

[mp5jeff]

race and find out...

 

[Midnight22]

[PaulMP3]

[Midnight22]

i have raced my friend, he has a gts too with aem intake and trd exhaust.

it is a good race, great rival, but I always win.
on the track, he only manage to do 15.4best ET while I do 15.1-14.9 best ET

I ran 14.9 stock in my GT-S I also have the spped and the GT-S is definatly faster. Car weighs under 2500 and has 180 stock. After a few mods it is even faster. Check out my Sig to see what I have on it.

1.- why do people keep asking this dumb questions? Just go to the track and race!!!
2.- If you ask on the MSP forum, 95% of the people will say the MSP is faster even if it against a Porsche 911. People will find a way to say the MSP is faster around the track when the MSP is in 2nd gear coming out of the corner when the temperature is exactly 68.1 F and the humidity is 33%........

lol 03mspro! seriously don't even try it because i was at the qualcomm races here in san diego and my friend also has a celica gt-s action package w/injen & apexi exhaust! sounds soo sweet! well i saw two msps and i asked both drivers to race him and they agreed! what a bunch of NOOBIE kids taking their cars straight from the dealer to the track! :wtf: whatever, these two msps (orange & yellow) lose horribly to my friend by 2-3 carlengths.. but if your a good driver you'll keep up! and the only way to win is to up the boost.. and if you have a protege 5 get turbo, however, if the celica had a blitz supercharger then an even bigger MONSTER is reborn!! i video taped the whole thing, maybe i can post up the vids, does anyone know where i can upload these? -jayrocka (k)

I think the MSP would do ok if the GT-S was the automatic version. My friend (a girl that can't drive a stick) has a GT-S Action package, stock...seems sluggish when it shifts. 6 speed-different story.

 

[zmepro]

i beat a gts (stick) in my pro5.....

 

[tritonheat1]

If your a good Driver, i'm sure the MSP would take the GT-S. Didn't have a problem in a 02 SE-R. A MSP is alittle quicker than a SE-R.

I owned an AllCrap, what a pile of s*** (slowest ******* car that I have ever owned). The MSP is NO fast car, but I think that it could take an AllCrap due to the 4,000lb weight of the AllCrap.

If you do race him, do it on a track where that kinda s*** belongs.

Why do you always have something negative to say about a MSP? If you want to b**** about how bad this car is, take it somewhere else.

Dude, if you need help selling your car, let me know. I'm tired of your constant bitching. Go buy a Civic & be happy. I'd be more than happy to help you place some Autotrader ads or something. Christ.

My last car was a 2000 GT-S, and I think it would be close in a straight line, but the GTS would have the advantage, but in a cury area, the LSD and suspension setup in the MSP would give it a large advantage. So it all depends on where you go...

In autox, I like my MSP MUCH better as a stock racer, but my Celica had better handling modified than the MSP does stock... but not by much. I'd say the Celica's big advantage is the lighter weight: a gts weighs between 200-400lbs less than an MSP... (depending on options)

 

[igdrasil]

just try it, both will have a lot of fun...
if its going to be on the streets, please choose one empty and wide.

my girlfriend has a GT-S with TRD exhaust, honestly, it does not feel any fast then my stock MSP. I think the advantage comes in on the MSP with the gear ratios and the shorter redline. where the msp has a good power curve through most of the rpm band and it gets right up there fast , the gt-s has to get all the way up to about 6200, which always feels like forever compared to the msp, before the chip kicks in the extra 40 hoarsepower. handeling wise, i think the gt-s completely BLOWS compared to the msp, torque steer is just rediculous.
