It's hard looking so fast, Cars pull up to race thinking your fast Options

[Komlofske]

The problem with having a Celica is the fact that it looks so darn fast. So fast that every Tom, Dick and Harry who has a sports car wants to take there chances with you. It's even hard to pass any sports car on the road because they just don't want to let a Celica go by. That's why people it is a must to get your cars as fast a possible, decieve the person you are passing or is willing to pull up next to you and rev there engine. Make them think that it is stock, or you just have some rims on it then...blow them away. How does anyone else feel about this?

i dont really get the whole your car is slow thing. i have a feeling that at a quick glance people think its a supra, and if they see what it really is, then they think its almost as fast as a supra.

i have only been revved by a 2002 v6 ranger, an excursion, and like this 1988 ranger with a cobra 5.0 in it(needsless to say, after he burned all through 1st and half through 2nd i lost) most other times things are started by my friends in the passenger seat.

a lot of people look at my speedo and say my car is fast. Oh look, it can go past 140!! lol. a few people have asked me how fast it is and i just say a fast car is a ferrari, or a viper. my car is better than a honda.

i got a friend that has a gsr and he always says my car is slow but likes the fact that i didnt go with an ls integra or any model civic. he likes the look of my car too, but just too slow for him.

but then there are the people with the v8's and think every other engine sucks. well, im proud to say that my car is faster than a 65 mustang with a 289. around here the mustang is known as the Valencia ferrari, loads of people have them and they all think they are fast. beat one of them and everyone stays away from you. granted a majority of them are v6 powered and very few of the v8's are done up right. i think its the fact that they feel safe hiding behind their engine size.

i really need to install my turbo. then i will have a car that looks fast and is relatively fast. then i have to get rid of my hub caps, they really drag the car down(looks wise).
