Wow!

Wow. Not sure I would win but I would bet him in a race to the quarter and back. And of course I would make the turn around area very tight.

God that acceleration has to be exhilarating.

How much of that car is actually Celica though?

Zero Celica. Zero Toyota. Take off the body, slap a Civic shell on it and voila, fastest Civic. Funny car.

Kudos for the effort though! I'd love to drive it....

Maybe this belongs in another forum?

Howdy!

True it's a carbon body, tube frame, custom tranny, etc., that has -zero- in common with a Celica, however there is some Toyota technology powering it :^)

It's using a 2JZ Supra motor - 3.0L, built (they *might* be running one of the stroker kits so it could be 3.2 or 3.3L) - and of course HUGE amounts of boost! Not like the motor would be streetable with the massive lag, massive turbo, etc., but stil a pretty impressive effort.

Titan built my Supra back when, pretty good guys, and they've really made a mark in the import drag scene.

That was epic.

That is the quickest 6 cylinder I've ever seen - very cool, and I think that would take out the quickest Skyline powered run. Both the Skyline 2.6 and the Toyota 3 litre engines are capable of about the same power - both very very good engine designs.

I really look forward to getting my teeth into a racing turbo setup as when we used a blower - it took 494 cubes of V8, and 54psi boost on Methanol to run slower than that Celica.... that car now runs 6.63 with some upgrades, but back when I was involved the best we ever saw was 6.8's.

Ron - a good driver would have you covered in that Celica there and back.... he'd only need to go 1/8 mile (where he'd get to around 175mph) then hit the stoppers...

those things can turn on a dime if you are brave enough. Mark Holland, the doorslammer owner I crewed with - has done multiple donuts for the fans - round and round - with 3000hp screaming - the fans go wild, you have to see it to believe it!!! Get it wrong though and you hit the guard rail

But the fastest Skyline (the HKS car I believe) is far much more Skyline though. Although there obviously is a lot of HKS bits on it! I used to own a Skyline back in the UK but only with a modest 460bhp.
