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.

i agree with ghost dog as well because from a DEAD STOP an awd car with 55+hp even if it is 400 lbs. heavier or w/e would make the cars about neck and neck for power to weight then add in the all traction of the awd and i dunno if you have ever slammed it from the start in a race with a FWD but i have and i dont get much traction and I have an AUTO. maybe from a 50mph roll or something the ITR would win but not from a dead stop. on all trac. net if you click on links scroll down to almost the bottom they have some vids of a few cars STOCK VS. STOCK the ST205 beats Silvia Escudo RX7 Twin Turbo but then it races a supra and the supra got 13.6 and the GT4 got 13.9 thats stock from a dead stop with stock boost. on the 3s-gte with the ct20b turbo you can raise the boost from 10 to 16psi and it wont even flinch. thats from 255hp to around 300hp. (give or take a few) show me an ITR that can produce those numbers stock

once again, the GT4 in that video is a Group A GT4. a regular GT4 is only about .4 seconds faster than an ITR

and i did say that from a stop any 6th gen gt4 would beat an ITR due to the AWD and better torque. but from about 25-30mph and up rolling start, thats racing in the ITR's territory.

i have seen all of the videos on alltrac.net, and i have also seen best motoring videos of an ITR keeping up with an RX7 TT on a road track with several straight stretches. i also have a best motoring video of an ITR running a 14.7

i already said that turning up the boost would make it pointless for an ITR to race a GT4, and generally stock means all parts, and engine operations are as they came from the factory. raising the boost is effectively a mod and therefore makes the car not stock

my point is that the ITR is not as slow as many of you seem to think it is. not every race is from a dead stop and not every race is stock vs stock.
