It's all about having fun man. Kinda like autoX... no-one expects to race autoX and then automatically qualify for club racing or Formula racing or something... It's all about having fun.

Piro chill man, you'll get this thread locked talking like that, and as for bulldog and slow, so what if he ran 17's the ST is slow and he made a slow car faster than what it is, me and Kwanza were arguing like this a few days ago, it's not that he was prooving it was fast, even the GT-Four is slow as s*** compared to a friggin Lingenfelter Vette, who cares, he's getting there. At least he didn't say he slapped a TRD sticker on it and made it that much faster so quit acting like he's a ricer.

[erics1one]

only read the origional post. Lol, grats player

[Supersprynt]

I see alot of talk about how "street racing's gay," although I gurantee almost everyone who says that has done it, and its so lame and Playr goes to the track and runs a 1/4 mile and doesnt say wow its so fast only says look I did better and you guys talk sh!t? Thats so friggin hypocritical. So much trash talk from people who shouldnt be opening their mouths. I dont see any of you running your cars I dont see any of you doing anything to your cars worth a second look and your talking smack; unbelievable.

I just want to say, Playr did do a lot better. That much of a decrease in time is great. But the fact still remains that a Celica is supposed to be a sports car. I'm not really one of those people who think if it doesn't make it perform better, then its rice. There are things that make the car nicer than don't make it faster. Leather seats for example. But it's true what I said earlier; the whole point of the body kits, big wheels, and wing was originally to make it look like a racecar. The whole fad got out of hand, and now there's cars out there that look like racecars but are purely for show. I'm a true sleeper fan; they're what I love. But I can stand a show-go car. But I just can't stand a car that looks like a racecar and is slow. Playr's time was an impressive improvement, but his car is still slow, and it has all that dress up stuff on it. To me, this isn't, nor has it ever been about Playr. This is about people who put these things on their cars, actually making them slower than they would be stock. Everyone has the right to do what he or she want, but it embarrasses me to be a Celica (or any Import) owner when they do these things. That's not saying that muscle car guys are any better. There's got to be some place I feel at home, right?

EDIT: I'm sorry I started all this fighting. I wish I never had. I'll continue to discuss it untill it's resolved as best as possable though. If you start it, you must finish it. Sorry again for starting though.

watch your language.

and piro, you are a hypocrite. you say celi owners should not hate on each other but look at what you have been saying. someone expressed their opinion and you jump all over them because it does not agree with your point of view

Seems you all need to get another hobby

There's a big difference between racing and driving fast. I drive almost a hundred miles a day - all PA turnpike. Almost everyday I have some idiot trying to slice and dice his way into traffic. 99% of the time they drive themselves into a traffic jam and I end up passing them anyway.

If you try to measure your celica by your "off the line through 1/4 mile" speed/time - well then our cars suck - the real torque only kicks in past 3500 RPM - so Celica acceleration is in spurts,(especially us manual transmission folks)

I haven't found many vehicles willing to keep up with me in that 80-110mph range. Many times it's because they don't have the power, but I'm sure many times it's that they are just pussys and are afraid to stay at 100 miles an hour for more than a few seconds.

Just yesterday a 350Z and I were cruising - now this is a vehicle w/ 290HP and 0-60 in under 6 seconds. He had a very hard time leaving me in the dust, even with those stats vs. my 140HP GT.

Bottom Line - we don't buy these vehicles for 1/4 mile speed, if you want that, you won't get this style, you won't get this gas mileage, and you'll have to get another car loan.

Alright i've been out for a few hours, I fully agree with supersprynt about the street racing, most of the haters have or do race, i've seen a few cops around Charlotte that race, DOHC Neon (CMPD) from the underground racing forum runs an SRT-4 and Randy Braswell (NCHP) runs a Z24 and there is another who runs a Skyline but I never met him, he's with CMPD, of course they get to go to Raliegh and train on a closed road course so that makes it better. Ghostdog, to defend piro even though he did put his foot in his mouth, he did have a right to respond to sarcasm, I would have taken it and made a better response, but the post slow made was uncalled for also and it was obvious it implied something, all right bulldog, no prob a lot of people misunderstand when someone talks about the speed the Celica can go and I agree we got put in the same boat as the 240 guys, these cars are both sports cars with weak motors due to our original motors putting out as much emissions as a Dodge motor. Last one, CJOHNST3 lol, you are one of the few people that get what I meant about a 350Z having bad top end, I was in a Lancer OZ of all cars and I guess the 350 thought I was an Evo so he floored it when I got near him, I knew he would have killed the Lancer but I floored it to, we were doing 65 mph to begin with and when we finished we were at about 115-120 (Lancer tops at 135 so far, never pegged or hit rev limit not bad for 120 hp) anyways he was about 4-5 car lengths ahead, from a stop he would have been about 20.

BTW if any ST driver wants to find a good race, find a stock Lancer, they are one of the most pathetic imports to hit the road, sad thing is they have a full assortment of mods including three or four different turbo kits so check before you run them.

Absolutly right. Even the 0-60 time is not impressive for me. But when you arer already driving @ a certain speed and at mid-high RPMS our cars are pretty fast.

[Supersprynt]

350z leaving you in teh dust and very hard time seems to be a lil exaggeration. I've driven the 350z reguarly and taken it to 140, its not slow.

[darksecret]

I just said it had slow top end, it's a fast car but climbs slow, i've only driven the roadster and the G35.

[easternpiro1]

im NOT a hypocrite...im sticking up for a man that gave me a place to lay my head when i needed it...and i dont respond well to people giving me an INKLING of disrespect. get belittled, i respond back thats all...ask dark, im one of the most pleasant people you'll meet. but certain circumstances piss me off...thats all its all over no big deal. thas just how i react.

and the icing on the cake was him telling me to end myself...just had a friend who did....so i got vicious....ah well...im only half human

dang man, hope everything is alright.

[SlowCelica94]

You're only half human? What's your other half? Icey hot stunna?

You get awfully upset for an internet forum. Chill

Even if you are slow (and we all are) going to the track is great fun. And it helps get ur speed lust outta your system in a safe enviroment. I go to the track and run all the time. It's just for enjoying the sport.

[Smlogg]

This whole topic just reminds me of heavy set girls wearing low-cut shirts. Sure, it could be just for fun, and make you feel better inside, but its still painful to watch for the rest of us. My *st*(edit) stays off the track, there are better ways for me to enjoy it than pretend I have something I don't.

Kinda a funny analogy, but honestly, its a sport. So what ur not supposed to do something you like doing because ur cars not faster than other peoples? Thats not a good reason not to do it. To some people, a 13 second car is slow, so does that mean that they should not run it because someone somewhere thinks its slow.

What kind of logic does everyone apply to here? This is ridiculous.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I say, if your car does 20sec in the quarter and you want to run it, then run it. That's fine with me. Just don't put a body kit and big wheels on it. To me, it's not about running a slow car in the quarter. It's about putting all that garb on it, and running it. And people calling anything above 15 seconds fast, but that hasn't really been an issue here.
