2001 Tiburon vs. 2003 Celica
 

Line em up on Kirby road, drop the clutch in my tibby, he drops his clutch in his celica and were off. I start pullin on him in first, hit second hard and pulled on him another two car lengths, slammed thrid, broke my shifter and still pulled on him hard...ended up winning by about 8 car lengths, but damm, the momo shifter head came right off ahaha, oh well, got a nicer one now, but what a race!:la:

meh, sounds ok, pretty crappy parts you got there.

you obviously didn't install the shifter properly

lol yeah cause its really hard to screw something like a shift knob on...

Gt or Gts ?

GT, a gt-s would have smoked me...and yes the shift knob was installed properly, but the style of shift knob was one that you could adjust the top of it, and somehow, the top part came clean off, MOMO replaced it for me cuz it cracked right in half, but they gave me a nicer one, it was just fluke it came off.

thats what i thought...even my matrix xrs only keeps up with those gts.

LOL, im sorry I don't mean to sound like an ass but I have to at least smile for wood racing.

Because your matrix has the same engine and is heavier.

i was gonna say.... doesn't the matrix have the same engine as the gt-s? something like 180hp or whatnot? we've got an '03 xr and its slow as lol, but she gets the job done.

Celica 2003 lost to 2001 Tuburon ? hmmm let me think.....maybe whoever drove the Celica scare to do some shift technics, if u dont believe, my best friend is driving a Celica 2003, come and try him out. Or maybe Tuburon is a V6 ? if so then i have no comment !

Actually no, sport engine built is a little different to sedan as it Solara and Camry, G35 coupe and G35 sedan, Accord coupe n sedan for example. for solara gen1, the engine looked exactly to Camry gen3 gen4 but the power tb is different, thats why Sedan most of the time cant beat the coupe.

And u if u fast n strong, u need to upgrade the engine. Celica GTS has 185hp for regular model, TRD and Tzunami edition/package has around 200hp+ these toys can beat SOlara SLE V6 i guess, the basic Celica is piece of cake so maybe u can race with that one.

About Matrix...im not sure because i hate Matrix Yaris Prius Echo shiz....these shizz arent built for Speed my friend, these toys are small n eazy to for parkin and new driver-lisense.
