My car is so fast. I swear. I went to Commerce and was just curious to see what it would run. First I was paired up against a four door, blue muscle car of some sort. He ran a 13.6 to my 16.7. HACHIROKU! Then, (now this is fun.) I race the car I was going to buy instead of my AE86, a red B13 SE-R with an SR20DET. He spins 1st and 2nd, all the while walking my ass to run a 13.3 to my 16.6. Awful. Now get this. I get in line hoping they'll pair me up agianst something as pathetically slow as my damned Corolla. Nope. I get stuck with a Mustang GT. I heat up my rear tires a bit and think to myself, "this car is a piece of shit, and doesn't have enough torque or power to spin hot and sticky Falken Azenis." I was wrong. I launch at 6k (out of anger for being paired against the damned GT) and the car sits still for an eternity and suddenly takes off as the sticky tires sling the car foward. I was to pissed to see what the Mustang ran, because I ran a 17.0.
What a joke. AE86s are slow.
oh and I love having to shift into 4th before the end of the track.
Needless to say, I was killed by everything I was paired agianst tonight, and would have been killed by anything I could have possibly been paired against.
on a side note, my cars gas tank is extremely rusty (thank you previous owner) so after filling up completely with gas for the trip home, the car felt infinitely quicker. (The car studders badly at 1/4th a tank, and will only continue to drive if you shift lock the car or dump the clutch at redline)
The lesson learned tonight?
The 1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S is better at going sideways, than it is at going straight.
