RACED A BLACK CELICA!, Uh oh. Options

... and beat the hell out of it.

Go Integra's!

Ok sorry, anyways I was taking my Celica over to a spot amoungst a high-traffic area with a "For Sale" sign on it and had my friend Jared pick me up in his 7th Gen. We eventually headed back to my place so I could pick up my Integra and we were going to go cruise. Jared and I decided to call it a day until later tonight, so I headed for home. Well I pulled up next to a Black Celica (5SPD easily) at the light infront of the Mall which had this dude and another dude sitting there rocking back and forth next to me. The guy had Rims and Exhaust on it, possibly an Intake, and he was revving a little bit, probably to about 3000-3500RPM. I looked over at him and put down my window and said "I have one of those, its that silver one sitting infront of Pearl Vision" and the guy laughs and said "You should keep it", so I had to laugh and rev once to about 6000RPM to allow him to hear something fierce and replied "I should have, but then if I got in a situation like this i'd get it handed to me". So Captain Curageous smiled and said "Its only an Integra, we take them all the time." as soon as the light dropped green, I had the greatest launch with that Clutch i've ever had - not a chirp in the wheels, just straight torque. He stayed with me till about 4000RPM (Spoon Chip gets me to 7500-8000RPM easily) then at the end of 1st Gear I had my whole Integra on him, then as I chirped into 2nd Gear I probably took 2-3 car lengths on him, and then I didn't bother going FT into 3rd - I just headed into a cruise.

I loved my Celica, and I wasn't going to post this, but that guy pissed me off - it made me feel good to finally have power over my Celica, but one thing I won't have again are those looks.

Gh0st is right on this one. The ITR doesn't have a hell's chance in beating the GT-Four stock. Hell, I'm not even mentioning the fact that you could turn the boost up beyond normal boost levels and the GT-Four would still be stock because the turbo and engine came from the factory able to do so. I'm not saying you'd have to keep it there for long (which is a bad idea without engine reinforcement). But hell, 5 minutes wouldn't hurt it. On the plus side, the GT-Four has WAY more torque than the pansy Integra Type R. The weight issue is not an issue at all, the torque more than makes up for it. On top of that, you're saying that the AWD robs it of power. I suppose the Integra magically became RWD. Not.
