well my LX 5spd coupe can just barely beat a GT(done it before), but an LX auto? I don't think so....... But I guess anything's possible.

I was going down earhart, it is a really bad road, with speed bump size bumps on it , big *** potholes,etc.. it's pretty bad. so I'm doing about 30 which is pretty good for me because i drive fast. I look over and this dude and his old lady are looking at me going just as fast as me. They inched up, so i did, next thing I know, it's on. light turned red, so we stopped at the line. I was curious what he had, because I almost bought one. I hit the gas and so did they. I think we both had automatics. we were up to about 60, and nose to nose. this big *** bump was coming up, and we both said F*ck it, and kept on. I jumped at least 6 in in the air, because he did too. all of the crap in my trunk flew everywhere, anyway, WE both stayed on the gas, and I beat him by about a half a car before I said F*ck it. I already jumped a bump and I didn't want to mess my sh*t up. But when it happened, I just went for it, I don't know why. I guess that was kind of stupid. I didn't even expect to beat him. to me, My car really isn't even that fast .

GTs are slow as f*ck. When I first saw the new Celica (which was a GT) I can't believe how intimidated I was by it for it's aggressive look.

DUDE, YOU DIDN'T SMOKE $$$$$$HIT!!!!!11

As a owner of 2001 Civic *AND* a 2001 Celica GT... I will tell you that the Celica is WAAAAAAAAY faster! How much faster? Well, when me and my bro take it out, we sometimes race... the Celica can beat the Civic, shifting at 5,000RPM! All out, to 60mph, it is already 5 car lengths ahead.

Whoa, you say? Did you know that Celica GT has 125HP at the WHEELS?? Civic EX has about 105HP... that's 20 WHEEL HORSEPOWER difference! Not only that, Celica is about 300lb LIGHTER than the Civic. Not only that, it has more aggressive gearing.

BUTT-------------

I do believe you that you did beat a Celica GT, as I have, in the Civic........... but then again, I've also beaten an Acura Integra GSR.. VW Golf 1.8T.. all with the Civic. HOW?? BS?? no... more like, THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE.

You may be a Senior Member. But you sure do have alot of rude comments to some of the people on this board, and constantly insulting the 7th Gens. Grow up and quit bashing other peoples cars.

Ok, maybe I read it wrong, but they both have autos. Plus it was just a GT, not a GT-S and if the GT-S is a 17 second car when it is auto, then how much slower is a GT auto? He probably didn't "smoke" him, but he probably had a really good chance of winning here.

Civicster should not be trusted
i think our civic buddy is lying... as a daily gt auto driver myself. there is no way AN LX can smoke a auto gt at all.... the gt has more torque and horsepower to the wheel.. it also has LSD and the VVTI(like vtecing)... the lx has no lsd, no vtec, even if u have exhaust or intake... the ulev engine can't be match up with the gt....

no offense.. but don't make up bs to boost your level higher,, it will only drag you down......


i have both of these cars in my house..... the celica has a quicker launch and when u floor it on 2nd gear, u can hella feel the boosting.. but the civic. when u floor it.. the rpm just does high but it is accelerating hella slo........

no kudos for you

I think if you say you have beaten another car, it dosent mean that ur cars engine is bigger and faster that
the one you beat, specially on side streets even more with pot holes and bumps, IMO having 5 or 10 hp more
really dosent make that much of a difference in these conditions, and for you guys to call bs on this is in itself
the bs..... let the dude tell his story and chill ffs

Some of you people are idiots! You are here to do nothing but bash on the civic. You can't beat this, that, I have put the 2 cars together and raced, bs, blah, blah, blah...........[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Calling bs on some of the most believable stories and acting you know it all. Who are you all? God? What makes your story any more believable than anyone elses? Are you special or something? Hmmm....I got it, you're just a dumbass, "I know it all" kinda of ***** that no one ever likes. I think that sums it up.

Oh, and everything I have ever heard or read about celicas, always pertains to its handling. You don't hear much about how fast they are, ever. In fact, I usually hear people making fun of them because they are slow. Anyways, nothing aganst the celica at all, just some idiots around here.

I will say this though, the celica does look like a boy racer car like the stangs.

Umm.. excuses me h0mo, when did I bash anybody's car? Read posts carefully before you say anything. I said 7th Gen Civics are not as quick as 7th Gen Celicas. That is a fact. If you are offended because Toyota made a faster car than your's... you got serious personal issues to take care of.

HEY, IDIOT......... WHY DON'T *YOU* READ BEFORE CALLING OTHER PEOPLE IDIOTS!

First of all........ nobody said he was BULL$HITTING about his race. I believe him 100% that he beat that paritcular Celica GT. I beat them myself. But you, sitting on your computer, assume that if one guy posts a message about how he beat a Celica, then it must be a faster car... well... if you know ANYTHING about drag racing, then you should know that driver counts. As in--you can get 18 second 1/4 mile time with a Camaro, if you can't drive it!! And have YOU driven a Celica GT? If not, then shut up and stop blabbing your mouth about how your car equals it. I OWN BOTH. I didn't test drive it, I didn't drive a friend's... I have both in my driveway. I think I would know which is a quicker car.

And NOBODY IS BASHING ANYTHING. Except you--calling Celica a boyracer car. That is PURELY your opinion and a show of your ignorance. Moron.

What's the moral of the story kids? Don't try posting a kill story on this forum because you will get your *** flamed. Does it matter what kind of driver/car and conditions there were? No because our Civics are so goddamn slow that freaking 18 wheelers give us a hard time off the line.

At least that's what I learn from these type of threads.

Do you speak English? Can you read?

I said NOBODY called you a liar... WTF... you are beyond stupid, it's a wonder how you got your license at all. People just said you raced a guy who probably couldn't drive worth krap. Nobody said you frabricated the story. What is wrong with you?
