*hoping for a better response*

[n33k]

i was wondering what the outcome would be..

i have an automatic 2000 celica gt with a ingen short ram intake and a 3" straight through style muffler with about a 50 lbs box with my subs

and my cousin and i was wondring who would win in a friendly straight line race

he drives a 5-speed 85 n/a mr2... rebuilt engine, 2.5" high flow cat and magnaflow exhaust system, and a home made short ram intake

so yeah... who seems to have the upper hand?


thanks in advanced!!

You probably have more power/torque... but he has a big weight advantage. I'd assume that when you guys go to the strip and race... it will be purely a drivers win.

your automatic trans is not going to help anything. My 1987 MR2 does not get to 60 in much less than 10 seconds. its not a drag car. Guess it would depend on the road you raced on. But either way, neither car is going to be too impressive on a drag strip.

it's purely for fun.. thanks for your responses... kinda sucks that the celica brance on this forum hasnt givin me a response yet.

but there still hasnt been an assumption as to who might win.

Just race and hurl your cars to their maximum 100HP outputs!

I say it's a wash. His 5 speed, and if he knows how to drive it, might be the determining factor.

Other than that, the only other thing that might give anybody an advantage is that your car is VVTI, aka where the hell's the torque. He might get off the line a little quicker than you.

Plus I am MR2 biased, so I have to root against you.

4DMR2t: hahaha all if fair, after all i did post here in the mr2 section...

Paul: also i would have say a regular street road, asphault?

thanks for being patient and understanding

I say the MR2 NA, I had an 1987 NA with a homemade short ram, and a Monza quad tip exhaust, and I beat quite a few celica gt's and they were manual, but it just might be that they couldn't drive for shiznit.

[jonrhaider]

I didnt even have the high flow cat

[Razo-E]

he's a 5 speed with 112hp, but at aroud 2500 lbs, he's pretty quick...

however, with your 4 speed, and 130 hp, plus your subs, and i think your car weighs around 3000 lbs (give or take), looks like he's got the advantage...

[Paul Mcmenamy]

n33k,

you are in the bay, right?

hit Kings Mountain road, the MR2 will be quicker, hit Sonoma for Friday Night Drags, I bet the Celica is quicker.


I bet $4

[n33k]

Kings Mountain?? wheres that at?? and whats the place called for the drags?

[n33k]

wouldnt the mr2 look more like a little less than 100hp? i mean thier at 112 but at the wheels more like around 95 right?? doesnt the drivetrain take up some?
