SS/SC Vs. Celica gt-s

[BullDog71ss]

This one is a little less dramatic, but some ppl here have been complaining that there arent enough stories in the steet racing forums. So I'll go ahead and add this in as a filler till something more exciting comes along...

This one happend about a week and a half ago on the highway. I was with my buddy heading back to Vman's place (the irrate drunkin Ford guy) doing about 65 mph. I looked in my mirror and noticed a set of bright lights from a newer car right behind me, riding my ass. The lights then shifted over to the lane just right of my car and I saw a bright red brand new gt-s. It had a can on the back, although I dunno if anything else was in front of it exhaust-wise. He juiced it to get my attention, and he had it. I let him get ahead a bit then dropped it in 3rd and reeled him in, shutting off about half a car ahead of him.

After this I continued at a normal pace doing about 70 mph or so. He fell back in the same lane about 3-5 car lengths. Next thing I know my buddy lets me in on the little bastard's secret weapon...RICER FLY BYE ATTACK!!! He was on wot trying to catch me from behind by surprise, but I was in on his little tactic...when he got to within a half car length behind me I dropped in in 3rd again and matted the go pedal. This haulted his pull at my door jam and I proceeded to put about 2 lengths in third, then another 2-3 lengths in 4th until about 105 mph or so. Then I slowed to a normal pace. This pissed him off and when he caught back up to me he changed into my lane almost rearending my car, then switched another lane over into the HOV lane. Then proceeded to do about 100+ down the HOV to vent his frustration. I just let him go his merry way.

Hope this will keep you guys entertained for a couple minutes or so, and no...you can't have your 3 minutes back either. They're mine, bitches.

BS, you can't beat a celica.

Good kill. You must have a few bolt-ons being able to pull 2 carlengths in 3rd and an additional 2-3 carlengths in 4th...that's impressive...unlikely, stock for stock, provided the Ceclica was the 6spd. With equal drivers, the SS will get the edge every time, but that's quite a margin you beat him by.

uhh dont celicas need to get to like 7,000 RPMS or so to make there max hp? And at highway speeds thats not really easy to do. Point is, he owned that celica bitch!!!!!

nice kill

Yup, I do have a bolt on...I bolted that CF hood right on there.

Other than the hood the car is stock dude

It's a bit difficult...but once you figure out thier plan of attack it can be done!

I've heard they don't start making good power until 5800-6000 rpm. This is what I've read...celica owners correct me if I'm wrong.

The above is a big problem with a lot of N/A vvt vehicles.

Are you implying that the Celica GTS is a slug when not at "max" power? A LOT of cars make peak power at the top of the RPM band, but it doesn't make them slow when not at peak. It sounds like your logic is that anything can beat a Celica on the hwy since it takes so long to hit 7K rpms. That's just the vibe that I get from your post.

Hondas aren't well known for their torque either, but hey, most of em are still fairly quick.

Have you tested your 1/4 at the track yet?

14.88 @ 96.xxx mph @102F w/ 87 octane

no im just saying that ive seen dyno charts for celicas, they have a huge power spike in the higher RPMS

Hmph. Not bad at all. And in 102 degree heat. I take it you're a pretty good driver.
