Your right, I haven't raced celicas with tuned power fc's. So I will give you the benefit of the doubt and remain suspiciously skeptical. (Even though I can't admit that this could have really happened)
in fact i faced this same kind of flak when i posted beating modded rsx-s on clubrsx.
maybe its a honda thing j/k

i use the math only as a reference. and im sure you all destroyed many celica gt-s (whether they be autos or manuals). but i doubt many of you have raced celicas with tuned power fc's. seeing as it is a relatively new and uncommon mod. compared to the s2k, the celica is very light. 180whp will make the car impressively quick. my s2k is PROBABLY putting something close to 200whp. i dont think that is gonna be enough to destroy my old celica

^^^the first post for someone to kinda believe me
It is however superior to said celica in every other aspect, especially handling and "cool" factor.
But, I say sure its possible.

I think your old celica was a FACTORY FREAK or something, because Ive raced quite a few Celica GT-S, and its not even close.. I personally have a friend with a Celica GT-S with intake, header and exhaust plus a tuned SAFC, and i walk him everytime.. But hey, good for you.. Maybe,u might need to get use to driving your new s2k.. Race him again, and just bust the OLD rolling clutch dump and get it over with..

also, any header when used in conjunction with any other bolt on makes little to no power on the 2zz. your friend is better off porting his stock header.

i absolutely mauled a gt-s with whatever mods it may have had, from about 40 till whenever i just gave up. instant buslengths. to be honest, i don't know if he was really racing, just assumed so cuz he was the one instigating it. if i'm not mistaken, aren't turbo celicas still in the 13's? sorry bro, if u lost to a celica then it's time to sell ur car and settle down in, well, a celica!

Even when I had my S2K with 10000.00 in mods I never thought it was "fast". With such peaky power delivery and squirmy rear end it was easy to lose 1 sec on the 1/4 with just a small error, thus allowing a lesser vehicle to hang more often than not.

this is why i bought the car. it sucks that it is a little slower than the celica - but not for long. i have a comptech supercharger coming soon. there running a special in the group buy section. cant wait

word.. MY FRIENDS celica was slow though, either that or he couldnt drive for shit... He got beat by my friend who has a CIVIC SI with the same bolt-ons... Im always the outsider because I always kill them both..
Either way, PFC or not, a Celica GT-S will not pull on a stock S2..
Im not sure if you know, but the S2 doesnt respond to mods very well either.. Good Luck, and congrats on your new S2..

i'll say it again. if you havent raced a pfc'd celica, and your stock, you dont know what your in for.
