there is one fwd celica with around 440hp and 400 torque, lotta power, too much infact.

it probably has the alltrac/gt4 engine and drivetrain or it could have been made out of parts from the caldina gt4(jdm matrix turbo awd)

despite the UGLY front end, it seems to be a well done car altho 350 torque to 500 hp isnt all that great, 400 torque would have been a lot better

This is a show car done by rod millen if I remember right. It was on the major auto show (nias) circuit when the new celica made its debut. I saw the car in chicago and have my own pictures of it, I was blown away when I first saw it. IMO it is a very nice car, although I recall an article about the drive train which is from the celica all track and they stated the the transmission is a major weak point and the car has to be babyed or it will let go.

I remember reading an article about the AllTrac that they made for Pike's Peak. They mentioned that the transmission was the weak point in that vehicle as well.

As for this one, it looks really nice. If it pulled up next to me on the freeway, I'd probably follow it. =)

Well, if its from Rod Millen I belive it. He has some fast *** Supras running on the streets of L.A. But nothing my other Nissan can't handle. 300ZXTTT running 450Hp with a lil help from my freinds at JG Engine Dynamics :)

My friend had an all-trac turbo. They're not bad as long as you don't mind doing things like drianing the coolant system and removing the intercooler to get to the spark plugs. My other friend had an MR2 turbo. He had to remove the alternator to get to the oil filter.
