The 2ZZ-GE engined Celica will do a lot better than that, but to get good times you have to drive it to the limit and shift almost at the fuel cutoff of 8300rpm and not at the 7800 redline. The 1st to 2nd shift is crucial and if you land it right the engine will stay on the high lift cam above 6200rpm in 2nd gear and times will be dramatically improved. It takes practice but it can be done. As far as the Prelude is concerned I don't believe that there would be that much difference between the two. I remember some time ago Wheels magazine did a comparison test including the Celica & Prelude VTi-R. According to them the Celica was faster, but not by that much. But once again I would assume that they would use the redline as their shift point and would not have got the best times from the Celica. It is interesting to note that the new Corolla Sportivo is redlined at 8300RPM, unlike the 7800RPM of the Celica. I wonder why? [Report message to a moderator]
