Yesterday I was on my way home from school, and at a stop light this dude in 97 green chevrolet tahoe pulls up to me asking me for a race, so the light turns green. I had a better launch than him but after a few seconds he just passes me and he beats me by 2 car lenghts.

For a Truck size car? That thing is SLOW!

tahoe specs / 5.7 liter engine, 255 horse power, my celica /2.2 liter around 130 horse power

LOL! Makes me laugh even more.

wow Adam i hope youre not surprised. Only thing i love to race are School buses, dump trucks, semis, RV's.

how many horses does your car have?

and those races are nail-biters let me tell you i personally like to race bikes, you know the pedal kind

I know one simple fact.
I have no chance racing against anything with wheels, period.

[this wont last long o.O]

I lost to a snail by a car lenght. I was pushing it!

lol...u guys are too amusing

thread life = 6 hours and counting...

No Im saying that thing has 255hp? So you are saying that I a GT-FOUR is only going to be like 2 cars ahead of me? The hell is that? That thing is slow for 255hp.

255hp but an assload of torque from just off idle till about 3500-4000 rpm. iirc its 300+lb/ft of torque.

LMFAO....ahhhh the life of driving a celica.

i would have beaten the Taho!! woOT 255hp in somthing that heavy is slow, even with 300 tourqe. i beat a new ford explorer with the Triton V8 in the 1/4 mile by 2 cars : )

well i raced an 1886 Daimler Motor Carriage and WHOOPED his @$$

LOL!

I don't even try....my friend in his caviler could beat me and it has a blown head gasket.. =[

that sucks

ok a 255 hp 4-5k lb suv took ya? I'm sorry.

my car is deff not fast but lets be honist our cars are not THAT slow actualy we can take most the late 90's economy cars and most 90's suv gas guzzlers.

actualy we can take all cars in that have a 110mph gov (and most do) so dont stop till you hit 120 and you'll win every time

my car usually takes off faster, its once it gets to like 60 people start catching up, then when i get to like 95 that it wont go any more unless i find a downhill they pass me

So you race cars that arnt ment to race? Lol.

My celica is SLOW the 5s just doesnt have the power my mr2 does. Ive never had a whole lot of fun in a fwd, but road courses is a diff story.

HAHA your celica wont go past 95? thats SUCKS. mine will hit the 115 gov. pretty easily! woOT.

mine does 135 and i still havent hit a speed gov. do the 5s have one? non-cali.
