do you guys think that i dont know that you guy out there are looking out for me??.. im saying that some of you guys make it seem like celicas are crap but you also have one??.. well this forum or topic is over with.... cant everyone just get along and hold their BS to themself???..blab..blab..blab...nothing more..

Seems to me like you opened the topic of BS with your question.

To say you're smart with your illegal driving doesn't mean ****, one deer in the road, pothole or stupid driver and you're toast. So go ahead and die, I believe in darwinism anyways.

I own a celica because it's a sexy looking car. Good overall suspension, good gas milage, decent speed. I know with the reliability of this car with some TLC it'll be beautiful.

There's no other secrets to getting a better launch, they've done them all. About all else you can do would be advance your timing and run 91 octant.

Hope that was constructive, I didn't mean to step on anybodies toes

and TI, I was just giving you a hard time dood, you are right about the artists making their millions. I just believe lives are more important than money, lol.

I end up street racing sometimes without realizing it..but..never in traffic. Also.. I love taking my Celica out on backroads and doing like 70+mph around turns..but then again.. I know driveways,streets,turns,etc,etc..so...It's more like a course.

it's always fun to do block racing, but that's once every 3 months that i let someone get to me (because honestly, i just hate the fact when a civic or eclipse pulls up and the driver is like, "yeah, i got this bitch") So, i just like to pull on people, the wonderul launch we get if you do it right, and cut it there. Other than that, take it to the track, highschool league or something

i get what your saying and it all comes into the realm of situational awareness, which if you race you need

-thedevilmaycrie+Oct 20, 2004 - 6:05 PM

im not saying to step into it just practice in your mind. just slightly jumping off the line

at night when no cars are preesent to do this not in the middle of day when everyone and there brothers on the road

and beside this is for help remember

There's a riced out Saturn at my school, lambo doors, etc etc. Obviously, some sort of idiot. I'm on my way home last night (keep in mind, it's been raining here, so the roads are wet as hell).

It's 2 lanes in either direction; I'm in the left lane and need to make a right turn at the light after the one I'm currently stopped at. Currently in the right lane is a bus (and a lot of cars behind that, including the saturn).

It's a VERY short block, so when the light turns green I punch it off the line just enough so my tires dont lose traction; I pull ahead of the bus, signal, and make my way over.

Well, it turns out that riced up Saturn I passed in the right lane decided that he didn't want to wait for all the cars in the right lane. He turned into the right turn lane; and rocketed through the intersection; past the bus, and tried to move into my car (which now occupies the right lane) without looking past the bus.

I honk at him, he swerves back, nearly hits the curb; swerves back again, nearly hits me, corrects, goes straight for 5 more feet; then slams on his breaks before he hits a police cruiser which is parked on the shoulder. He looses traction and slides- unfortunately I think he stops before he hits the cruiser- and even worse, I dont think there was anything in the cruiser.

This was all at speeds below 45 mph- no one was racing, my tach never got above 4k;

and still something insanely stupid happened because other drivers- especially ricers, are stupid.




Do I streetrace? Yes I do, from time to time. Do I recognize that it's stupid, immature, and dangerous? Yup- I haven't streetraced in about 5 months, give or take? I never had one close call, for which I am thankful, but I know if I do it, it's likely to happen.

I don't condone it. Lives are lost- but then, lives are lost no matter what you do; you could go through a green light and get hit by a guy running a red and die.

Streetracing increases those chances.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say in this post.

GT beats ST. Everybody knows this but I have proven it, again. On the quarter mile stock GT beats stock ST minimum 3 car lengths, I drove the GT and ST have a better driver. I only hit 74 @ the quarter mile.

My car starts to drift @ 60 MPH in turns.

Kwanza, you mean to tell me that all cars dont break into mad drifts when they hit 60. I wish I could see the interstate when that happens. 100 cars all slideways with white smoke pouring into the sky.

And still, what the hell does that statement have to do with anything?

i drive an st and beat gt's i never did it in a straight but i beat 2000+ gt's.

I hate it when u say this shady. If you were in my state, i love to own u in some turns

My point:
STOCK GT beat STOCK ST in straight line on 1/4 mile with the driver being equal.

My car starts to drift in those "Initial D" turns @ 60MPH, 50MPH it still sticks to the road. Pretty insane drifing downhill @ 60MPH.

This post have to do with "Racing" as the topic suggests, NOT "Flamming" as some people are doing.

-operative+Oct 21, 2004 - 4:17 PM

The 240SX is coming up on a corner, he jerks the wheels to the right for a split second pulling the car hard to the right,

That's called a "faint" which is very common. Learned that baby from the drift bible

controlled understerring with the e break dont sound as cool as drifting.
Im gonna go do some understerring right now!!
