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.

If you're saying not every race is stock versus stock then why did you bring up your opinion that raising the boost isn't stock (even thought it can be done by keeping the engine in the same condition it came from the factory)? Anyhow, you said you saw the ITR keep up with an RX-7 TT. You never said the ITR beat it.... Onto another point, I'm pleanty sure that the GT-Four's all-wheel drive would help it out more on a road-race than it would in a drag (the only part that it really 'helps' is from the start, I'm sure of it).

no my whole point was that the car is not as slow as some think. unless you have driven both cars, try not to pass judgement, too many people stick with one car and look down on all other cars.

and to me, raising boost is a mod, and thats why i said not every race will be stock for stock, i doubt that if a whole gt4 were imported here, or any person that bought a GT4 and knows what they have will keep it stock. im just saying not to take too much pride in one car, no car is perfect

and btw, i said keep up because one kept passing the other, but yes, a GT4 would own most road tracks, which is why i like it, it has good looks and for me driving in a straight line is boring. in a drag race, AWD is only good for the launch, after that it is like dead weight.
