hmm.... awd hes got you hard on the launch. but then again im expecting nasty wheelhop with those 19's.
you should pull on him pretty hard then. he would kill you off the launch but i know that those 19's are gonna kill him. |

take his ass to the auto x track with the 19s he has hell be slow in and out of the corners and the GSX is a heavy bitch. your advantage will be the celicas wieght and low end torque if you take it to the auto x track:)

red sun is right tho celicas are very good as far as suspension/handling on turns and the low end torque you could probably take him in the autox, but depends on the drivers too

Yes they did. Back in HS, my friend had a 95 GSX, and guess who won when we both raced? Of course he did. I got my a$$ handed to me. GSX > ST ... BIGTIME! |

It's possible that he was going easy to set you up, so he could walk away with the bill. |

Ya for sure, Im sorry but you guys gotta stop kidding yourselves, a 100hp st isnt going to beat anything!! I really doubt its suspension is any more tuned then other cars in its class and against a car with twice the power and AWD your just dreaming. He could start off in 3rd and still hand you your ass, sorry  Also 19s will increase top speed so once hes got momentum he'll hand you your ass again. |

Yeah, this is just an invitation for pawnage. Against a 02 Eclipse GS convertible with intake/exhuast I managed even until around 65 mph... Then it spanked me.

I don't think that's true. Bigger and heavier wheels will actually slow you down. |
