I'm on my way home... I see a blue 7th Gen Celi GT on I-75... So I'm just cruising and I notice it's a young guy and the Celi has a little body kit. So I'm thinking, "let me just see how much that car can beat me by". So I pull up even next to him. Three honks. Beep, beep, beep. GO. I had the guy the whole time, pretty much... He kept up with me for like a second. Mind you I have an automatic ST. WTF just happened??? I thought the new Celis were faster! This is a true story and apparently this guy does not know how to drive. I mean, he honked thrice so this was a race. Maybe he was messing with me? What happened? Lol.

Since i'm the one holding the camera (explains why it looks like crap) I couldn't shift so I had to keep it in fifth (which isn't a bad thing after 80 but isn't great at 60) and i don't give any gas until I start shooting so it's from a coast so I go from 60-90 in about 10 seconds from a fifth gear roll, so what is that like 7-8 seconds in fourth, funny thing is the fastest quarter mile times on the few you said was the GT-S (ex. the Type-R, i've never had the pleasure to run one) funny thing is even with a 6 speed almost half that quarter is from 60-90 which is roughly 7-8 seconds, basically that means if a Celica GT-S was to pass me flooring it at 60 and I was cruising in fourth at 60 mph I could floor it and keep up, so basically like I said i'm not king ding-a-ling but I can hold my own with an Si and not much less than a GT-S. If you can see in the video I can handle curves pretty well also, this is the one the AMG about lost it on, ask easternpiro1 he's followed me on it and it's sharper than it looks, I would love to see a stock Si hang with me on it.
BTW like I said before this was done a few months ago and all I was doing was trying to see is if I could film and drive at the same time, if I can concentrate on the driving more I might have given it WOT. I'll try to do another if I can find a passenger to film me. S-Turn 7.8Mb so it's a slow download and I wish I had sound but this was done on just a 16MB Camera. |
