Yep thats what I thought. Only thing to check (like FEDREX's case) is whether the Celica is GT-S, i.e has the VVT-i system and 190HP

I'll have the last laugh when I find that GT-S again - today is the day I'm ordering midpipe, boost and air/fuel gauges. (I already have a new RP FCD, just don't need it till I get the MP.)

Also going to settle score on an Audi A8 and a Bullitt Mustang. I'll cream all 3 of 'em...yowza.

If it's a GT-S, if would come down to driver skill (assuming a 1/4 mile drag). I ran a GT-S at Englishtown and he ran a very low 16 . Modded NA 2nd gens are very capable of going faster than that.

I don't thinl the GT model has a 6-speed option, think its just the GT-S. Oh, & by the way smoke the **** out of him if its just a GT.

You will take hime but practice launching first get a feel for your car. Dont leave anything to chance. Just cause your car is faster doesn't mean you will win.
