Raced other cars?

[TOcorolla]

Have you guys tried racing other cars (neons, civics, elantras, altimas, acuras, mazdas) with your "factory stocked " Corollas?

[falnfenix]

er...most people at the track aren't stock...and there's no point when you're racing with a stock vehicle.


at least, that's in my opinion, and directly relating to my stock 01.

I raced my corolla at the track yesterday and blew the engine... oh well.... luckily it was the carbs that just fell off, so I reattached those and drove home

Did it just fall off or did u not bolt it up properly?

hahaha.. gotta love carbs.

I raced a Civic Si coupe on the highway once lets just say after 180km/h he wasn't too happy. And another time also on the highway, some dood on a Civic EF sedan thought he had a hot rod in his hands.. I guess he found out he didn't after he flashed the lights at me.

Are civics SIR more powerful than corollas?

i raced a neon on the street once, dusted the guy.
another time with an integra...but i think they gave up after the start...hmm..

They just fell off.. but I have an idea why it did it... the clamps werent able to hold them.. but I know why.

well for some people, like me, it does make sense to race your stock ride on the track so you know what the time is with no mods. so next time you upgrade, you know what you gain by installing the upgrade parts. a lot of people are gu-estimating the horsepower and ability of their by simply relying on what toyota tells them but the actual fact, they're wrong. it's mostly marketing that's all. but people believe that their ride pushes 120hp when in reality it's only 105hp so when they install a new part that supposedly'll add 10+hp they just simply add the 120+10= 130hp, but when they go to the track the car runs like it's only pushing 100hp.

raced a SOHC Civic EK once... he didn't like me after... hehehehehe!

Depending on the driver, and track configuration. Your "Stocked Corolla" can easily beat anyone if the 1. driver is very experienced with the car 2. driver is very experienced with the track itself
