How are these cars? Had one tailing me on the motorway today, so I just moved over.
After he passed me I thought well I'm gonna keep up with him. He pulled away quite fast, I kept up until a speed of 100 mph but backed off because some cars were ahead and it was raining. But the guy just continued to a speed of approx up to 120 mph overtaking everything ahead. Now I don't care for the guy who is nuts without a doubt, but how good is a Celica T-Sport? Does it have something like 190 bhp, same engine as the Corolla T-Sport? or is it a 2.0 liter?

Notice:
If I'm supposed to become a victim (Hello Saxoboy) of the great moralists out there, please moderator feel free to move it to the Muppet forum where these guys belong and can sort it out between themselves (who has the biggest moral & ego...
Thanks

as far as i know its the same as the normal 190 so 190bhp 1.8 vvti all the T-sport is is a pair of skirts front spliter and different wheels etc but could be wrong

Yep they are a 190BHP 1.8 - but they are a bit more aerodynamic than a Scoob and quite a bit lighter I guess.

Mate has the 140BHP version - well impressed - but I'm not swapping the Scoob just yet

So performance wise they must be in the Integra Type R league then, since they also have a high revving motor?

Anyway, I was impressd how he pulled away although totally stupied with regards to the weather condition and traffic ahead...with all the water splash cause by the other cars, I still wonder how he managed to see where he was going....

Hi

Hi Saxoboy you boyracer........... :-))

I am not! I'm a boy-parker!! Parked car in Gyle centre car park as I was car sharing and got back to nasty superglued sticker on the window saying I'd over stayed my welcome! Seems I just can't do anything right

All i know is there is a 1.8VVTi that does 0-60 in 9 seconds, that is some pretty ****e performance, so If it was the 1.8, then are you sure you were in your scooby

The 190bhp does 60 in 7.4 secs. It has poor torque and does 100 in about 19 secs. So not overly quick.

Hmmm, yes I think to remember I was in my Scooby or was it my wife's Daihatsu Cuore 3-cylinder 55bhp?
Naah that wouldn't do 100 mph.......

no, serioulsy, as I said I could probably have kept up with him but since 1) the visibility of the road ahead was very bad and 2) since I had ''stand duty'' the whole weekend and was near to fall asleep and 3) I didn't wanna die on such a day.

As somebody said here, it's probably the better aerodynamics that make it fast at higher speeds.....?
