I thought older Celica GTs were a little faster.

I thought older Celica GTs were a little faster.
Well, I was heading back from a movie with my buddy and right next to use were these 2 blondes in a later model Celica GT (you know the ones with the quad headlights). Anyways, we were going about 40mph and I hate riding right next to someone, so I pull ahead a little, well, the chick accelerates a little to and is still with me. Well, we keep cat and mousing to about 60mph when it turns into a full blown race. I think she had an auto, but the point is, we stayed neck and neck literally, no gain on either end to about 105 mph. Soon the blonde hit the brakes and turned onto a side road. I dont know if she didnt want to miss her turn or if she chickened out at 105, but I thought that car had a little more guts. All I'm running is a TB spacer and a V2 on my 03 EX coupe. I would give my car some more credit, if I didnt get beat by a Dakota the other day.

Well, I looked it up and those Celica GTs run like a 16.5 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 8.4 seconds, so it just as fast (slow) as our Civics.

But wait.... Don't foget about the Celica GT-4.... Remember the AWD turbo Celica they made in Japan but stop making here like in 93... Those things could smoke an Eclipse GSX stock..... But yeah, the rest of the Celica's suck, except for the new ones....

Fer sure... If i were you, I'd be paying more attention to the fact it's a girl and not that her car isn't fast

Its not how fast her car is, it's how fast she is.
