Hi,
The old 1st gens weren't the quickest. But I think the TA22 was quicker than the RA23 and RA28 series.
Naturally, the GTs were the quickest of the 1st gen Celicas.
I remeber seeing some spec sheets on their acceleration etc on the web a long time ago. I may see if I can find it again.
You got to remember that back in the 70's when the 1st gens were built (mainly refering to the TA22) they were, for a 4cyl car, pretty good in the performance category when compared to similar 4cyl vehicles of the same vintage.
I remember beating my share of 6cylinder Holdens and Fords (except the 250 cu in Cortina - they were fast!), Datsun 180Bs, non-rotar Mazdas, Escorts, Marinas, Kimberelys... etc in my LT TA22.
The TA22 weighed in at 950kg and the 2T engine produced 102bhp - so it wasn't a bad package for its day.
