Since both have approximately the same frontal area, if we assmue that sixth gear isn't ludicrously short/tall, I'd estimate the top speed at..

150*((.32/.27)*(~170/~180))^(1/3) = 156 mph

The FRS will have a little less power stock than you Celica has now. At the same power level, you might expect 158.
