The 2003 “Top Secret” Toyota Celica Sport Compact will definitely turn heads while moving in the pits making its way to the staging lanes. Sporting the unique flat black color, will make it look like the high-tech F-117 Stealth Fighter. Like those stealth aircrafts, the Top Secret Toyota Celica GT is a high-tech, high-precision, feared competitor at the strip.

Breaking new grounds in the Import Class world, the “Top Secret” Celica will be the first in Aruba to adopt PRO- style craftsmanship and detail into the world of import class racing, delivering a very safe and good handling race car. Think of it as a 4 cylinder Pro Stock or Pro Mod.

Thanks to José V. Camacho of CREATIVE STUDIO MOTORSPORT DESIGNS. They did an absolutely magnificent job with the "as-built" image of the Top Secret Toyota Celica.

The Top Secret Celica specifications:

- Toyota 2RZ, 2.4L twin cam, 4 cylinder forced induction,
fuel injected racing engine running on alcohol
- Intercooled turbo system
- 5-speed racing transmission
- Full tubular chrome-moly chassis, RWD configuration (VP Race Cars)
- 4-link rear suspension, struts in the front
- 2003 Toyota Celica GT fiberglass body (Freddy Fiberglass)

Building this kind of project for the first time, Papo Racing Team will be extremely proud of the finished product: the “Top Secret” Celica. This race car alone should make an impression of what Papo Racing Team can achieve. Weighing around 2000 lbs. and producing 800 hp, this gives a theoretical ¼ mile e.t. of: 7.577 seconds at a speed of 178.566 mph. This is our goal!

These target numbers will make headlines, it will also encourage other racers to build their own “pro-style” Sport Compact race cars making passes safer for themselves, much more interesting for the fans attending the races and therefore profitable for the organization.
