First race in my MR2 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #7908 9 posts Started by Uppitycracker
So I was picking up some groceries tonight and a big pick up truck pulled beside me and kinda gunned it ahead and so I followed and we came to a red light and then we raced, I didnt have time between stopping and putting it in gear to rev at all so it wasnt a very good launch but he pulled ahead, by the time I got in second he was about a length and a half ahead and once I started gaining he was already slowing down since the limit was 50km and we were probably breaking 100km.

I dont really take it too heart since those big trucks have ass loads of torque(didnt get a chance to see what kind, assuming it wa s GM of some sort). It still woulda been nice to win though >tongue.gif> I think if I had a nice launch I coulda atleast been even but Ill never know now >rolleyes.gif>

Ya its turbo, we're talking 200lbs of torque vs 300-400lbs of torque in a truck. Wait is pretty meaningless with that big a difference. Also my car is 10 years older then that truck and my engine is more then aged so I can see why I got beat.
