I nodded t him and when the light went green I spanked his *** across the intersection and I was like yeah moron lol then all of a sudden all I hear is PSSHHHTT .........psssht..... by by vic! lol I was like WTF??? lol He beat me by like 4 cars or something to the next light. So who ever that was NICE. lol I'm bettin low 14's on that car.

Anyways I'm not a poor sport so props dude!! if nyone knows who has a blue turbo vic let me know! I wanna see what setup they got so I can drool. lol

Well I guess you got killed by a sleeper. Im not sure who it was though. At least you posted that you lost. Nice car. I test drove a GT and it was slow, at least to my and my friend. Never rode in a GTS.

I think the celicas are nice cars, and the GT-S is quite fast- they will give a stock is300 a run for its money forreal. The guy seems cool enough and was giving props. Why the attitude?

No attitude. I just said he got killed from a sleeper. He didnt realize the civic's potential until he heard BOV and the turbo spool up. Sorry if it sounded like it.

if you want to know if a 7th gen is a member here, first thing to check is if its headlight is cleared.... if it is then maybe its a member here.... if not or it got projectors or somthing else, then just wonder....
just my .02

btw... good race... GT-S are pretty quick....

well it was a nice car! looked clean.

Yeah in a GT-S if you shift and land back in lift man it's a good thing. a lot of people cant shift right so they land outa lift. Thats when you see the 15.5 runs like my first 1/4 lol also launch is important with GT-S cause your velocity affects how well lift pulls. good launch will help your lift to just tear it up. bad launch you lose lift doesnt have as big of an affect. Ask IMPHORTRACER from here I let him drive it lol he messed up 2nd twice. lol I also took him on some runs up to 125mph which is like little over 1/4 mile!!!!

lol mine were bad too thats why my times sucked. lol I've been workin on a 6500 launch. feather like a **** and have only 15 psi in the tires. should be good for a 2.1 - 2.2 60' which would put my 1/8 about 9.6 - 9.7 and 1/4 at 14.7 - 14.6 so we'll see only the clock will tell. I'm gonna do an 1/8 track tonight so I'll post my slips for y'all tomorrow!!!!
