How and the hell does a 160bhp car that dynos about 140 to the wheels gain 35hp just from exhaust, intake, header and a reflash?

i was hoping you had a gts haha
interesting...i'm dynoed at 175whp and 147 torque. i weigh 2650lbs

Youmust not know about the Celica GTS. It has 180bhp, which most dyno around 160 to the wheels, and it only weighs 2500lbs. I have one with exhaust and intake and it has gone 14.7 in the 1/4 mile, so yeah. And Iknow a few guys with exhaust, intake, header and tune running high 13's. The CelicaGTS and RSX-Srun about the same times stock, but theRSX responds just alittle better than the Celica GTS.

what kind of celica...i doubt u'll hit anything close to a low 14 with header and tune. i call bs to your 160bhp car

I dont see how an 02 Civic running 14.5's crush our v8 Mustangs. But then again, after I get my header and tune for my Celica I'll be hitting low 14's to high 13's, so I'll be crushing your 4 banger with my 1.8L 4 banger.

Alot of people say the Mustang has sh*tty handling, but if you can drive you should be ok in the twisties. The power the Mustang has over your Civic will give it some help, but the driver is the key.

i dunno...i had an intake, drop,and drag radials and I beat my friends 99gt without him spraying nitrous. he was on drag radials too but couldnt handle the turns. I'm also a decent driver though so i dunno
ORIGINAL: 01SilverGT
I can see you beating alot of cars in the twisties basically because of what you've done to your car. Being that its a hatch, gutted, and tons of suspension mods. But stock for stock, you still couldnt beat a Mustang GT in the twisties, nor a straight line.

hondas are made for turning. i've beaten porsches much faster than me just because of my turning ability.
honda hatchback completely gutted, battery relocation. 2.5" drop with performance struts. x braces and 3 struts bars and a harness bar = amazing handling. The honda civic type r's are autocross monsters and have always been considered this way.

RE: honda question
I cant say anything. I guess some of these little 1.6 and 1.8L cars get pretty good gains from basic mods. A few friends of mine with Celica GTS' dyno'd right around 190whp, and thats just with exhaust, intake, header, lightweight flywheel and a tune.

I should know... I have one... they weigh in at200 lbs heavier than you stock weight, and dyno 20 more WHP... (at the back wheels) and about 50-70 more lbs of torque....
if you believe a few suspension mods thrown onto a honda base is the equivelant of a modern porsche of this caliber your off your rocker...
I don't doubt you have a quick car.... but the only porshes your smoking are misfiring 944's and boxsters towing horse trailers

I'm not a college kid, but I'm only 22 with a wife, brand new house and 2 cars I'm paying for, so I probably have the slowest 99-04 GT on this board.
