First off, is it really a V-4?

I don't see putting on just a turbo for an '86 Celica doing too much to beat you, what kind of boost is he running, and my other question why an '86 Celica of all cars.

lol him and his g/f have been tellin me my car is slow and his can beat mine so im gettin a lil pissed and yes his car is a 4 banger for sure ive even driven it it has NO accelration at all and he still thinks he can beat a v-8 i told him to call my cell whenever he wanted to race but he will prob back out...ricers are soo dumb he even said some dude in a honda somthin beat a 502 big block.. i dont really belive that..

What I mean is finding a V-4 is extremely rare, because most 4 cylinders aren't in a V shape that's where the V comes in. Most of the time they're just 4 cylinders, just clarifying some confusion.

its a 4 cyl. i know that its not a 6 cyl or 8cyl
just a 4cyl not sure if it a v-4 but i know its 4cyl =)

its not a V4. I dont know of any production cars using V4's, and if anyone was to do it, it certainly wouldn't be the Japanese. It is most likely an inline 4. You will win, those 80's Celicas are dogs. Good Luck

Hey man you have a v-8. You will kick his but man. If he has a turbo he has no down low. Hit the light just right and you'll smoke him off the line then let up...and just say it wasn't worth it.

the saab sonnet ran a V4 back in the 70s (?). don't ask me why i know, i have a disease.

The only thing that I know has a v4 is a motorcycle,
An 86 celica with the stock turbo still has no uumph, and it sure is but ugly, there only threating in the 16 second range with some mods including a measly upgraded turbo, most likely run in the 17's being that old with "decent" upkeep

I remember reading in a recent magazine some car that is supposed to be coming out with a V4 or a past car, can't remember exactly, pretty sure it was foreign.

Yea the V-4 was for dune buggies & the sort. I think it was a 318 chopped in half or something of that nature.

Imagine that! :sillylol:

Imagine THAT! I wish I had the bragging rights of beating one of those :sillylol:

I doubt very much that he'd beat you. Race and find out. The worst that will happen is that you will lose and you get to listen to him going on about it, which it sounds like he alredy does. If that doesn't happen you have the satisfaction of beating him AND having proved him wrong. You have everything to gain and not much to loose.

i thought pontiac made a super duty 4 cylinder (for racing) i thought it was a v4,which would be the only v4 ive ever heard of tho.

beating a v-tec isn't much to brag about. Hell I've beat V-tec's in the camaro and the grand prix.
