Celica GT-S vs Jeep G.C.

Well, yesterday was the last day I had the celica before I sold it. I was taking it over to my grandparents house so the new owners could take possesion of it. I was driving the celica and my g/f was driving my Jeep. We approached the first stoplight outside our place right before we got to I235, and had a straight, unused and empty stretch of about 3/4 of a mile so I told her to floor it off the line so I could see what the celica could do against it. The light turned green, and we were both off. I don't know if I got a really bad launch or not, but the tires were spinning for around 20 yards and the Jeep got a car length and a half right off the line. I finally started to catch up to it around 45 mph, and then I finally gained about a car length to around 70 mph.

Although, I will admit that I am somewhat sad that I dont have the GT-S anymore, I will plan on having another sports car sooner or later.
So this is my farewell to the celica. It was a very nice car.
