It was this morning very early before work. The roads were deserted. My buddy has a 2000 Type R with only a comptech exhaust. We raced for about 4 blocks. In a nutshell, he killed me off the line and was ahead by almost a full car length. From about the first 1/2 block to the finish my car was faster but I lost by about 2-3 feet. 1 more block and I would have won.

No offense to anyone here.
I may not know as much as all of you but i do know this. This race was 100% a drivers race. If i was going to race my cousin's husband (he has a 03 viper RT/10) i have a chance of beating him if he stalls of the line with my celica. This guy just needs to learn how to manage his power, you have a really nice car. The Integra Type R is a really nice car but its not the ****, more like a piece of **** compared to a 3s-gte powered 6gc. Practice and race him again, i garuntee you wont be able to count the car lenghts between you at the finish!!! |

Why? don't call something sh!t because its image was bastardized by the import scene. You obviously know jack about the car in question and obviously are just blowing chow to sound cool. Who the hell are you to judge something as crap when your car, shall I say, a vast majority of our cars, are nothing compared to an ITR? I don't often see Honda people talk crap about Celicas... I'm curious why some people here are so ignorant and simply say "it sucks" without any knowledge or justification... If it being a ricer car or 'common' is your reason, a slow car with fancy exterior mods is more of a ricer any day than a riced out Integra with a B18C...
