<font color='#000000'>hey i raced this like 95 ford escort with exhaust and one of those gay "racing " paint jobs that look like stickers. I KICKED THE CRAP out it. It was in a 35 mph zone so i only went up to like 45 but i was already ahead a good 3 carlengths. He was eventually passed me cause i didnt want to get pulled over and he went up to like 60 but i had already made a fool of him. lol. Man Escorts suck. Its funny to mention them and racing in the same sentence.</font>

<font color='#000000'>so you flirting with me then mereyem? ??? i think i can go for that.


I didnt think it was possible for an escort to be good. Ill have to find one to race and prove they are all pieces of crap. :alien:</font>

<font color='#000000'>yup.  here's some specs:

1986 celica gts
135hp @ 6k, ~2700lbs

2000 celica gts
180hp @ 7.6k, ~2500lbs

1997 escort zx2
130hp w/ztec, ~2478lbs

and then just so you could laugh at it:
1994 celica st
110hp @ 5.6k, ~2400lbs

i would think a good driver in an 86 gts could almost keep up with a zx2, but the fact that the gts is a fat man more in weight than the zx2, plus ztec, i've really gotta give kudos to the zx2.  of course, the 7th gen would leave them all in the dust.</font>

<font color='#000000'>hey for having a car thats like 11 years older, its pretty good to put up a good fight. Maybe could take it if i had like exhaust and intake. Ill have to find somebody with one of those zx2s.
 Thanks for the specs.</font>

GT-S Celica 6 speed/auto:

Tha lancer has much more HP than my car does...

<font color='#000000'>those are stats for the evo.  the lancer has closer to half that much hp.</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>thats what i thought. i thought u were talking about the cheap ass lancers. but if your talking about a evo than of course it can beat a celica. lets see that evo without a turbo and see who wins. or better yet strap on a turbo on a celica and see who wins. Damn Mitsubishi and their cars!!!
 and damn toyota and them not making turbo cars anymore!!!!

<font color='#8D38C9'>Okay, I had to read the posts by Spiffy, Luv, and Red like 3 times before it made sense... lol
 And I think Luv's the first person I've heard that referred to it as "evolution" instead of Evo

Luv: new celica gt-s with turbo VS Lancer Evo... that'd be a race to see!


Yeah, if I ever get a good turbo I'll go find an evo and kick it's a$$!  

Ralph:  That's what I thought too til she posted the specs...

Red: Yup  :grin:</font>
