celica has a damn high redline

MonteCarloSS · Post by **MonteCarloSS** » 02 Jul 2005, 02:52

i just did a new career mode, messin around tryin to get tons of uniques and i got a stock celica and the thing revs to 8500 RPMs stock! I couldn't believe it.. it was reving higher than my unique tiburoun..

personaly, i like a car that can really push the RPMs so this car impressed me in its stock form. of course i have added some goodies and now the car hits a respectable 9500 RPMs, and thats not even all level 2

any other stock cars, that can push some high RPMs?

of course.. its no skyline that can push 240mph at 9950 RPMs

How about any RX car. Rotary engines rev and really high RPM's. A well tuned RX-7 can rev up to like 12,000 RPM. That's like formula 1 racing, not street.

F1 cars go up to around 18 - 19,000 rpm depending on the circuit

Oh wow, really? I was just guessing.

You should see the specs of the RX-7!

Not to mention it's price ranges from $7,700 - $14,600.

well i was talkin about in the game lol

can a stock celica really hit 8500 in real life tho?

Not sure. You can find out by Googling it.

speakin of high rpms, i have an rc car that runs at about 20,000-30,000rpms.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 02 Jul 2005, 07:45

WOW.

Is it a gas rc? Or electric?

a RC car has a 2 stroke engine... the always run on higher RPM's

and yes a ZZT-23 Celica (curent Celica) can rev up to 8500 rpm. and has it's max power at 7500 orso cause of 180BHP (in europe 191) VVTL-I engine
the normal Celica has a 140bhp VVT-I engine (without the variable lift)

Oh snap, I was going to say, "No it's probably just general knowledge." jokingly but I didn't. I got would-be-owned!

Post by **TheStig** » 02 Jul 2005, 08:28

in a way you are right... it is more general knowlage cause I did not have to know that at the time cause most people buying a car don't care how it works...

3 ford CitroÃ«n and Toyota

ok for a short story of what I did ****off-topic***

I first attend a maritime academy, went on several journeys but I could not adept to well on a ship (seasickness etc) went to school there for 3 years. (of 4 years) got all the theoretical licences but not the practical stuff

after that I thought well I like cars so why not do something with that... and being a mechanic is nothing for me... had to do it on board and I hate getting my hands dirty on a regular bases... so a mechanic was not suited for me... so I went to school again to become a carsales manager. and whill being at school I first work Ford for 2 months (1st trainnee post) after that a other 2 months for CitroÃ«n)(total of 1.5 years at school) when I finished school I went to Toyota and worked there for 2 years and then it became clear to me that it wasn't Ideal for me eighter... hard to explain but it wasn't something for me... I like cars but selling them was often boring (there where days you just didn't do nothing...) and alot of annoying customers (that is with all carbrands...not just toyota :p)

now I am a driving instructor, still work with cars (is infact my workspace

)

Nice, and congrats. I heard that being a car salesman rakes in the dough, though. Haha, that rhymed.

Anyway...

what kinda upgrades you got on your T-Maxx i might be interested but $200 seems a bit to steep unless you got some kinda upgrades and I'd like to know how old it is too.
