I was dropping my girlfriend off at her house, and on the way back I had a newer Celica do the flyby on me. It was not really _new_, but early-mid 90's with the popup lights. So I catch up, and drop into third and let him hear my new exhaust! We go back and forth for a while until we finally get to a light. He kind of glances over, and revs, so I rev back and he smiles. The light turns green, and he stomps it and squeals the tires. I got a good launch, so I start pulling on him. He shifts into 2nd while Im still in 1st, and I pull even more. About 5800 I go to shift into 2nd and this horrible noise ensues. Yup, I missed 2nd. He immediately passes me and starts to pull foreward. I got it into 2nd, the tires grabbed nicely and I pull up even with him. Just as I start advancing, he nails the brakes and turns off on some side street. I was like, WTF? I look in my rearview to see a cop come flying around the corner onto the road I was on. I slowed down, as it was a 30mph zone. He flips on the cherries and as Im thinking im screwed, he turns and follows the Celica. So I guess I would call that a win, even though I cant shift
Had I been able to grab second when I wanted to I would have had him by at least a carlength. Also, earlier this week I stomped a Saturn
Not much contest, I know, but it was fun...
What kind of engine is in those celica's, and what sort of HP do they make?
