Why did you even click? You know I killed 'em...


Black GT-S with exaust at least, maybe suspension, crusin' at 75ish on the freeway, I drop to 3rd and ditch him (up to 112mph). Seemed like a cool guy though...

 

i run into a similar situation , had a gts reved on me. i was lauging when i shifted, never took over 7000. beat him by a lot, at the next light, he reved on my AGAIN

 

so did you give him another spanking again?

 

Good kill (?). We laugh at the things that try to race us, but then one day, you come across a sleeper (like the Sentra that runs 11's and looks stock!) and make us go DOH! It takes a sick person to spend that much time/money/effort on a beater just to humble other guys though...+

 

With a 2.0liter 240hp, i should hope you beat 180hp 1.8

Alot of the celica's have a problem between the steering wheel and the seat though. 14.3@98 is my best with an intake and no muffler. I race my buddies S2000 almost religously for fun. He always gets me about 2.5-3 cars up to about 100. I love the feeling of your rwd though, you guys have awesome cars. Much respect.

14.3 with just an intake? BS. The S2000 will get you more than 3 car lengths to 100 from a standstill. Much more.

 

I have tried a GT-S... Personally, I don't like it... Its engine is not as good as I thought... and the interior quality too.. I am so glad I bought the stook instead of those...

 

Celica6spd runs me all the time on the free way. That car is fast. And he does run 14.3's. Granted i run 13.9's all the time. I dont pull that car till topend of 4th gear. Those cars are awesome. Great value. Those owners are paying GS-R prices for Type R performance. And i might add as well that this Celica owner also placed 1st in our regional SCCA races for his class. I give that car much respect as should the rest of you. Go Toyota from bringing spice back into your cars. Now if they'd only put that GT-S motor in the MR2 Spyder .

Des,

 

Yeah sometimes I wish I woulda gotten the GTS instead of the Prelude. Oh well.

 

Gabedude, you made a fine choice. Don't regret. The Prelude's a tight ride.

How does the guy run 14.3s with just an intake? I check out newcelica.org enough to know what times are realistic and what times are not. Care to educate?

My friend owns a stock GT-S and I pull on him in every gear, all the time.

And you run high 13s all the time in hot and humid Orlando, FL? Where are your time slips?
