New Celica GTS
Raced a new Celica GTS on the freeway this morning on the way to work. According to Sport Compact car, I thought these things run 14.9 in the 1/4 with a 6 speed (not sure if this one was auto or manual).
We got a clear spot on the freeway, so I slowed down to about 50 to let him get beside me (I knew he thought he was fast by the way he kept buzzing up on peoples' bumpers before this).
He tried to do a fly by rather than lining up, so I put it in third and it was on. He could tell the race was over by the time we hit 75 or 80 - what a turd for the amount of money they cost. I ran 'er up to about 120 for the hell of it, and couldn't even count the carlengths because he gave up at about 100 or so...
