Night of Racing in a GTS

well my friends dad went out to a party and he drives a Celica GTS, a newer model one so we took it out to the hotspot and rode around lookin for races as i got used to the gearing *i know im gonna get flammed for takin out his dads car blah blah* so we were drivin along and theres a red GT mustang with atleast full exaust done so he gets over real quick and catches the light with me and we both go kinda slow and then he drops it and so do i and he pulled like 1 1/2 cars on me until i got into high rpm's in 3rd and i was just pullin on him pretty hard, we talked to him and he thought we had a turbo but all it has done is a muffler not even cat back.

2nd race was a new black cavalier dunno what it was but it had alittle kick to it, but i just pulled like 5-6 cars on him.

3rd race was this z28 that followed me after i raced the cavalier so we got side by side and he droped it and so did i then i started to pull pretty good until he sprayed i really think he sprayed cuz he flew past so quick and it sounded like a damn airplane goin over but it was him and at a light he said it was stock, i really dont think so

anyways a really fun night of racing

haha cool...


What year Z28?

If it was LT1 or LS1... I dont think a Z28 needs to Spray to pull on a GTS... Could be wrong... but from a rolling start those things arent exactly slow.


But if you got him... neato!

he said it was an LT1 im not sure of their power or anything but just the way he took off was crazy, i mean he droped it and he was goin full throttle so was i and the fake vtec *vvti* kicked in i pulled alittle more and then he was like gone it was crazy and ive never heard anything sound like that before it really sounded like an airplane

Yea...funny story about the gt-s...I was test drivin one a lil bit ago, it was a 03, never driven etc.etc... Anyway, I pull out onto the main street and I slam down the gas....Went red all the way up thru 3rd gear then I had to slow down. It was a fun ride, tho. The whole time my mom was in the passenger seat (since we were lookin at cars for her) freakin out grabbin on the o-shit handel tryin to figure out what I was doin...we went back to the dealer and the guy knew what I was doin because he heard me squank when I hit second..oops. I guess it was that and the "deer cought in the headlights" look on my moms face... Priceless.

I think the Z28 was just going half-throttle until he decided to punch it. At which point he flew past and sounded like an airplane. Because seriosuly, he'd have absolutely no problems pulling far far ahead very very quickly. Definitely wouldn't need to spray or anything:bloated:

I have a similar story about test driving a celica with my mom. I couldnt test drive the car alone since i was like 16-17. Anyways it was a celica gt-4 i believe is what they were called. It was an early 90's all time 4 wheel drive turbo. I couldnt help but run through the gears on it, and my mom was screamin at me the whole time. Good times i tell ya. Wish they would come out with some kind of special edition celica like that now.

i thought he was going full throttle cuz it really sounded like it but maybe not and ive never heard any kind of car sound like what that did so i thought maybe he sprayed, oh well still fun :D

275 or 285, depending on the year. Either way though, they run high 13s or low 14s stock so I doubt that n2o would be necessary, that's all:) You should take a run next to my car...Headers, cam, and unmuffled exhaust make for a VERY loud vehicle:D

Good run though, by the way:)

lol i bet, and man that 6speed is way diff from a honda lol took a minute to get used to it accidentally droped it in 4t h acouple times instead of 6th:p

what do u guys think tha best engine to drop in a 94' civic hb is ????

lol javy your a dumbass lol this isnt the place for that oh and i would go with a 4g63 :rolleyes: :finger:

my bad about postin my last post of topic pun hahaha.......but yea i never seen a camaro take off like that....we were keepin up wit him but then he jus took tha fuck off..i thought he sprayed but who knows i aint think z28s were that fast....i thought they were rated about tha same as a gt stang and we beat one of them that same nite who thought we were runnin a turbo but were bone stock.....:bandit:

What kind of Mustang? Like a new one or a 5.0L?

Nope...An extra 50hp or so I believe? Also, the Z28 runs the quarter about a second quicker than the GT for equivalent years.

What kind of Mustang? Like a new one or a 5.0L? it was like a 98 model kinda, he had cobra wheels i was kinda like nah forget it at 1st cuz all i seen was them but then i seen the gt symbol, it had the 4.6?L badge under it, he had full exaust for sure, dont know any other mods, and all the gts has is a muffler

So when the heck did they change the style Mustang to what they have now? 99? It always seems to me like the current style Mustangs have been out for so long.

it was either 99 or 00 i dont remember but to me it seems like it was just yesterday the new body style came out but it really has been acouple years, the worse thing about it is that when we were talkin his buddy pulled up behind me and said he seen him get beat :smoker2:

he didn't spray...my gsr got pulled on like that by a Z28 (read other story) an i can beat the new gt-s. sooooo...im thinkin it is jus quick aye? hehe, nice other kills tho, 2/3 isn't too bad at all for a nites work.

ide would love to race you in that celica, and it was 3/4 i raced a saturn on the highway when we were goin to pick up a friend before we went out on the strip i just forgot to add it

hey...if ur ever in wa, or im in pm, im down for that...they're a good match-up. VERY close, jus comes down to driver...

my two cents.

i've owned about 14 camaros and mustangs, all different years starting with 94 and up. the mustangs have NEVER compared to the camaros especially the 6 speed manual camaros. those are pure drag racers, i can beat a celica gt-s or pretty equal to one in my rsx but there is NO WAY IN HELL it'll keep up with my 96 z-28 and forget it if we think it'll EVER even after crazy mods keep up with my new baby (01 z06). oh and btw, 8 out of 10 times i'd put my money on the mustang over the celica too

i could have deff pulled on the stang much more and i didnt even launch it, he was shocked when we talked to him, he thought we had a turbo
