Orin Auburn Alabama, US	the newer model GT-S has 180 hp stock a GT is about 150ish with very little torque, an easy win edit GT is 140 hp and 125 peak torque

Rabid_Lemming Cumming Georgia, US Scion Guru	Just FYI people....a richly tuned tC rolling at 75~80 mph will not get completely spanked by a Pontiac GTO, even if they dig floor board before you do. I most definitely lost, but I was not blown out of the water. In other words, it was akin to me going at a brisk walk and him going at a slow jog. Afterwards, he pulled up next to me and asked me if I had a turbo. Here is what I raced on the way back to GA from NJ http://www.automotive.com...specifications/index.html My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya.... Sometimes I haul more ass than a pimp driving a caddy full of hoes.

tCizzler Canonsburg Pennsylvania, US Detailer	^^ Are you POSITIVE it was a 6.0? Because i have done that too and i thought the guy put 6.0 badges on instead of 5.7, the difference is almost 70HP. It would be nice to know he can somewhat hang/keep up with a 400 HP sports car. I don't like to fight, but i ain't scared to bleed..... Most don't mess with a guy like me- Eric Church

Hmmmm....to be honest, I didn't really pay much attention to the badging so there is a strong possibility that it was only he 5.7. In fact given that we were in the upper ranges at the start, and I did not get completely blown away, it probably was the GTO "lite". My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya....

A Corolla could give a NA Integra ls competition. I hope no one here would pick on one of those. And sure, GS-R versions have VTEC, but its still 1.7 liters. A tC could walk that I think, haha.

07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	MrScion07 wrote: GSR integras 200 hp crank i think so it might b close idk and there probaly alot lighter No it's only 170 to the crank. The one with close to 200 horses is the type R but they are light as hell and there are alot of parts for em. And if that guy that raced the integra raced him from a dig and lost he couldnt drive. Integra's have no torque what so ever, that tc shoulda ate him for dinner not unless the integra was heavily modded. A car is only as good as it's driver.

Dont sleep on some corolla's and matrix's. Why because Toyota made a corolla XRS and a Matrix XRS(03-04 i think). They have the same engine as the celica GT-S. They are pretty quick. And not many people kno what it is. They have the 6 speed tranny and everythin. But a buddy of mine has a corolla S with the celica gt-s tranny in it and it's a sleeper. He has that and a intake and catback went to the track and ran a 15.8 on street tires. When him and i raced pulled on him but not by much. His front bumper was at my back bumper. We raced from maybe a 30 tho. A car is only as good as it's driver.

We raced from maybe a 30 tho. Quoted by Toyota themselves, the Corolla XRS is the first and only Corolla to ever break the 8 sec mark in the 0-60 mph, and it barely made it with a 7.9 sec 0-60. I would say in a controlled environment,like a track, you would beat him by atleast a car. But technically, i would call it a sleeper, not because it's fast, but it's a lot faster than you would expect. I don't like to fight, but i ain't scared to bleed.....

TongMan Elk Grove California, US Master Mechanic	On my way home tonight, I raced a Civic Si hatch, I think it's the '04. Well, i got told. We raced from a 40 roll, he beat me, probably 3 car lengths. Raced from a stop, took him until probably third gear and then he pulled on me about 3 car lengths. I was pretty sad. I asked him what's he got, he told me that he only got an intake. I'm not too sure... TRD Supercharged Release Series 2.0 tC

The SI hatchback should have been a drivers race, it's almost identical to the tC.... 160 HP and 2800lbs. If he came from behind and won, then he's got more than an intake, unless he was 5 speed and you are auto. But still 3 lengths is hard to believe. Oh and not to mention, it's a Vtec yo! It was still trying to build up some torque while you should have been pulling away hard. I don't like to fight, but i ain't scared to bleed..... Most don't mess with a guy like me- Eric Church

skunk New York, US Godlike Advisor	i highly doubt all he had was intake. i am 5spd, and when i had intake/axle back, i beat an 04 civic si hatch that had intake and catback. not by much, maybe a car length

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	Tong is s/c'ed. I find it hard to believe that 04 Si only had an intake.

Orin Auburn Alabama, US	haha, no way an 04 Si with just an intake would win 3 car lengths unless he had the engine swap with the RSX type S, (forget the engine name) + intake and iVTEC with DOCH edit engine code for swap K20C

MrScion07 Rochester Massachusetts, US Godlike Advisor	there was a CRX at the track the other day with a k20 in it they had to cut a big hole in the hood so the hood could close hahahaha never saw it race. I got a story. Well a loss. Last run of the day at the track all day i got stuck racing SRT-4s and WRX's and i wanted to atleast beat something. Well i count cars and look to find out im racing a older model dodge neon like a 95. So im like yes ill smoke this fool! FIRST MISTAKE dont get cocky cuz ur racing a bone stock neon. So we line up i set my rpms idk why but it took the guy so long for him to start the tree but he finaly did and i launch i had better reaction time then the neon but i spun like crazy All of first and second. Then i go to shift into 3rd and grind that DOUGH now i feel like a fool and am pissed off. I get it into 3rd gear and start to catch up to him but run out of real estate. i ran a 16.7 he ran a 16.1 i was piiissssssssed stupid cockey SW driver
