Was at a stoplight on Highway 99 near Sherwood when a mid-80s celica pulls up next to me. Nice and clean, white paint. Well the light changed and he launched hard. Me, I always drive with a certain "flair" aka pedal to the metal ALWAYS. To my suprise, he pulled me all the way thru first gear! Once he shifted into second, I pulled him (I've got an auto). The guy was cool, he pulled up next to me and gave me the thumbs up, I waved at him. Oh, and my buddy was in the car too. It was fun.
But....
Why did he pull me SO hard off the line? I mean hard, he pulled at least a car length on me! My "mods" include stock exhaust, cheap cone filter, and '81 electronics. I have a 4 speed auto (which I shift manually). Is there something wrong with my car? the engine pulls very strong in the upper range, but I can't get the thing out of the hole for anything. What's up? Do I just need to swap in a manual?
