Front and Center Celica
A front-wheel-drive performance milestone was reached last October when HKS' Drag Celica, piloted by the late Masao Saito, an editor of Japan's Option 2 magazine, became the first front-wheel-drive import into the 9s.
Saito and the crew of HKS were overjoyed when the lights at Sendai Highland Dragway showed 9.72/148.96. Getting a FF (front engine,front wheel-drive) into that territory isn't easy, as physics conspires against traction. Acceleration transfers weight off the drive wheels whenever the hammer is dropped.
HKS is understandably tight-lipped about how they set the benchmark but Turbo Magazine was able to glean some significant insights. The builders yanked the stock five-speed transmission and swapped in an X Track sequential unit that features an AP 5.5-inch diameter triple-plate clutch. The X Track, used in Super Touring cars, allows an array of different gear ratios. The set-up allows the HKS Drag Celica to ideally make the 1-2 shift after the 60-foot mark and cross the finish line just before redline in top gear.
Naturally, a full complement of HKS components is used to generate 560 horsepower from the Toyota 3S-GTE four-banger. These include 9.3:1 forged pistons, connecting rods, metal head gasket, 273-degree intake and exhaust cams, adjustable sprockets, F-CON V fuel computer, wastegate and GT3240 ball-bearing turbo and stainless-steel 4-into-1 exhaust manifold.
HKS USA hopes to have the FF Drag Celica compete on U.S. soil against some of the quickest FWD's America has to offer.

Первая переднеприводная машина, выехавшая из 9ти секунд?
"We are a Cult...I don't want to be in the Olympics. When that happens they will turn us into normal fat men. I don't want o be normal and fat. I want old ladies to fall off their balconies, Low flying planes to crash, cars driving by to have accidents, and the people who look at me say - What the Hell is that!"
