Me vs GST

Been awhile since I posted. lol Got revved at by some kid in a GST the older style. it sounded pretty nice and lookedd decent too. his BOV had a clean soud to it also.

OK so long story short he thought I was an idiot when I revved back so he laughed. lol
Too many people think my car is slow but oh well. Light when green I got a perfect launch and his dumb *** lit up his tires to maybe prove a point. I dunno. SO I waste his A$$ acroos the intersection slam 2nd jump farther ahead. I never saw him again. his bumper never came close to me. we stopped at the next light and he wouldnt even look at me he just turned down some street that was a dead end. lol oops. OH well. was funny anyways. he woulda been more pissed if he knew I was stock. lol

BTW... I crashed my car sat night. nothing too bad but be expecting to see some crazy mods now to fix the damage!!! on the way are c/f hood, racing suspension, LSD, racing rims with DR's, more weight loss, exhaust, pulleys, intake and new ignition, and body kit!!!

looking at low 14's with the weight loss and new mods!!!

You do have a nice car. I like the 1.8 they put in celicas. Healthy 180hp

cool. have fun with the mods. Hey I have a question for you. How well do you like your celica? I'm planning on getting a GT-S this spring because I want to be able to compete with my friends RSX-S. How reliable do you consider the celica? Just wondering. Thanks.

Nice run. Sorry to hear about the accident, but it sound like it will be worth it in the long run. Hope to see pics when finished.

Type S should be able to take GTS easy, if ur a good driver but is a good race still, Type S has a killer top end so if you like freeway racing lol go for S, both of them have sucky low end especially the GTS if you have bad launches, well mike could tell you that since he owns a GTS ask him about bad launcehs and how bad it affects ur take off and times lol, but both are nice cars...depends wat kinda mods u lookin to run with ur GTS doe, and what kinda mods hes lookin to run on S overall both are nice cars but S has adv. stock, and i personally like the S look better than the GTS.

true, the rsx-s looks better, but I don't want to get the same car my friend has. The sucker know the type-s was my favorite car, but he went ahead and bought it anyway and tricked it out. However, the GT-S can look really good with the right body kit + wheels... etc... Check out this supercharged celica...

I haven't really looked in to the srt-4 yet... I am considering it, I'm just not sure I like the body style of the car yet... but it's growing on me though...

Its a rental car with a turbo. Everything but the engine still looks Neon-cheap. Hopefully its just that all the money went to the right places and they forgot about the interior and body work.

id put my money on the SRT-4 if youre into experimenting. I dont really like them myself. good power for the cost. but you tend to get what you pay for IMO. As far as Celica VS RSX-s Id agree somewhat with imphort racer. They are tricky little cars to race especially the GT-S. If you miss that powerband on the launch then forget it youre done. The rsx-s however is quite as extreme but they arent easy either from what I hear. The s has the hondata though which the gts doesnt.
counting all boltons no n2o the GT-S is faster. since I have a 14.85 stock gts, mines very fast compared to most rsx-s especially stock or I/e/ones. it really comes to driver so good luck!!!

And no on the freeway the s does not have the advantage. They are almost the same. My car does very well at 130+ mph as does the rsx.

Also thanx for the sympathy everyone!!!

FORGET about the supercharged celica. They suck.
