I'm pissed that my st is so slow. Some girl in a civic ex was blocking both lanes and acting like an idiot in traffic, i was behind her and she wouldnt move as cars in front pulled away. i decided to go around her. then she decided to get back into the lane. I had a head start and floored it to try and get in front and back into my lane. my she just sped up and didnt let me in. i felt like such an idiot in a loud slow car. then later that night some guy in a old v6 accord did the same thing. i dont think my car has an edge in regular traffic just to pass others and maneuver. ill probably sell her sometime this year after i fix up the gt.

yes STs are freakin' slow... I'm suffering the same thing too >>

i hate fools that drive the speed limit in the fast lane! it pisses me off.

Is your ST not a turbo? The pic in your Profile looks like it is...

>> i feel your pain... i hate how its soooo slow i juss wish a 3sgte would magically appear in my garage

i know st's are slow, but i have never had any problems with out maneuvering other cars. hell, they just get out of my way when they see me close to their rear bumper.

But i also thought ur st was a turbo?

lol, somehow i almost beat a prelude a couple of days ago, a newer one. it had an exhaust, but thats all i know

If your hoping for better performance out of the GT, you won't get much. It's still slow. I'm begining to wonder just how fast this thing would be with a 3s. I'm looking at the market for one.

very fast!

oh yes i feel the pain... my car is SOOOOOOOO slow >>


-lagos+Jun 2, 2005 - 12:13 PM

omg yes, SO FREAKING FAST >> >> >> >> I <3 it !

just tap there rear bumper. when ever theres a dick in the fast lane a gentle tap of there rear bumper gets them out of the way.

" maybe this is why my insurance is so high ?"

try getting a manual. your auto drains what little hp the st has >> it's at least more fun.

3sgte is FFFFAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTT... and i don't think the ST and GT's that slow.. i mean i use to own a ST and i think it's alrite.. probably's cause it's manual.. but the GT. i like it so much.. when i'm done ith my 5sfte project.. it'll be even better HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I have a GT and I think it's super slow. When people ask me how many hp my car has, I play dumb and tell them I don't know. It's better for them to "think" it's fast. >>

our cars (the North American ones) are purley for looks IMO

they're bumped up economy cars with a sexy exterior

very nice and all, but if you want serious speed unfortunatley, over here, you gotta look elsewhere >>

hey im fine with my slow st. at least it looks nice. having a faster car isnt going to get me anywhere faster really >>

You evidentally don't drive the way I do.....

-Mr_E+Jun 4, 2005 - 11:32 AM
You evidentally don't have as many stop lights as I do....

-slipgun+Jun 4, 2005 - 2:06 PM

Stoplights are where turbo shove and 4wd are best deployed.....

-slipgun+Jun 4, 2005 - 12:06 PM

You want to complain about construction?

The locals say Utah has two seasons. Winter and...























"Construction."


"Men at Work" is an oxymoron here. Can you tell I'm bitter?

if it makes you feel any better i have to get a running start just to pass people on the freeway >>

I actually use my overdrive button now to go from a stop. then when im like 45+ i turn it back on.

-MK153+Jun 2, 2005 - 7:08 AM

it was turbocharged and now it is not. my setup was not to swell. it prolly performed like a gt celi most of the time and then at short periods was very fast.

I have to say this again, because alot of people think the ST is slow. Well, of course it's not a GT and it's far from an SS-III, or GT-Four, but it's not slow (compared to regular other cars).

I was driving around one day and stopped to drive onto a sort of highway (one-lane only, but still.. Hey! I live in a small town in Norway, ok?) >> This turbocharged Volvo is behind me. I have gotten alot of cop attention lately, so I was like.. Yeah, ok.. He will probably pass me and that's ok. I won't race him, not today.. I wait until the road is clear and drive onto the highway and start accelerating normaly. Then I see this stupid Volvo is 10 centimeters away from my ass and kinda pushing me.. Ok, that's it. He is getting served.. I push the pedal down to the floor and he follows until about 90 (this is on a medium steep uphill, keep in mind). Then he starts loosing ground and I continue up to 115 mph and he is way behind me.. I let go of the pedal and let the car continue on it's own until I drop down to legal speed (about 50!) >>

I have a stock 99 Celica (ST) 1.8 7A-FE (Euro spec). On this run I didn't even hit rev limit in fourth gear, and it was uphill. People have been saying in different posts that they can't get their cars above 115 mph because of rev-limit and speed-limit and whatnot.. I can't understand why, but I probably don't have that limit on my Euro spec. i still could have used my fourth gear all the way and gotten about 120 I guess, and then switched to fifth gear and continued.. My last car (94' Nissan Primera, yeah I know..) with it's 2.0 liter SR20De engine(swapped in a 96' engine though, not the stock 94') pushed 125 bhp and that wasn't quicker than my 1.8 liter 7A-FE with 116 bhp.. The difference in torque is probably the reason, along with the ability to get the horses down to the wheels, and to the ground.

My Celica is slow compared to any race car, or performance car. But in daily traffic I can pass anyone I want. I raced this Audi stationwagon a while ago too, and he got smoked real bad. It was a 1.8 A4 with turbo. He had 4 people in the car and I had 2. The car should smoke me bad, but I guess he was a sucky driver.

The Celica isn't ment to be a race car (the GT-Four is of course, but not the regular ST and GTs (USDM).. GT JDM on the other hand is rather quick with the 197 bhp 3S-GE engine.

ok wait...your european car has 116bhp? i thought all you guys had was the 3sge and 3sgte not the 7afe??? auto or manual? i thought toyota stopped making st 1999 celicas??

-ArizonaRed+Jun 9, 2005 - 2:16 AM

I have a 5 speed manual of course.. Auto is not an option for me >>

And I have a 99' ST (AT200) 7A-FE Celica. The GT on the other hand is the 3S-GE (197 bhp) and the GT-Four with 3S-GTE (255 bhp). We do have the regular ST though, with only a 116 bhp 7A-FE.

his profile pics says it all?

-shin+Jun 9, 2005 - 3:28 PM

Yeah, it does.. But it doesn't show proof that my car is actually a 99. It is though >>
