Lastnight on the way to work, I had the windows down, creepin and just enjoying the weather. While idling at a red light, I notice an SRT-4 behind me switch lanes in order to pull up next to me. The dude looks at me and smiles, then looks at the car and then the light, clearly making a point that he wanted to run. Now, of course, Neons are a horrible excuse of an automobile, but, why not take the chance, right? Not to mention, he had so much crap modded to his car, it looks rediculously tacky. Anyways, light turns green, and we take off. And through my meer determination to beat is lame ass, I pass him, and...it was awesome. A few lights down the road, he pulls up next to me again and says "For you being a girl and driving like that, you've got some balls!" This Corolla is growing on me. The end. No offense, but either it wasnt a SRT or he wasnt trying. At least he was a good sport.

It could be a fake SRT-4, I wouldn't be surprised to see lots of them out there.

When I had my old Corolla GTS that car would spank Civic's (SOCH) Integra B18 not GSR and the 90-93 Accords with no problems. That car was a litle beast. That high compression was mean as hel after 3800k RPM

as for sohc, i think i would even beat them with my white 4afe automatic corolla. but gsr's, i love them,its more of my competition, me n my friend with a gsr always go at it, but its always a 50/50 on it, but he's still having problems with it. but yea man, 4age's arn't no joke, as well as 2zzg

I'm pretty positive the neon would have beat me, if he put 100% into it (theoretically speaking). Like I said, he had shit done to the car. I'm all stock, nothing fancy. But, all that matters is that I won, and it totally made me happy for like 30 minutes...till I reality hit me that it was a freakin neon. I'm sorry if anyone has owned a neon...nothing personal...I just don't care for 'em..

my co-worker's step daughter moved in with him and his wife and she drives a grand am gt w/ram air....lol.........it had a 3.4l v6. today was my first day back from vacation and he was talking about running me after work.......so we went for it.........we went down this 2lane road and i was ahead of him when we left work and he got stuck behind a escort wagon...did not want to pass, cus there red/blue lights up ahead so he waited to turn down the road i was waiting for him..........i was rolling about 35 and he finally caught up and it started.........took off from there and we were pretty much neck and neck till about 115 and he slowly started pulling ahead of me.........that's all i could get out of her tonight....my clutch is wearing out and the throw out bearing is making noise when i release.......we stopped and he told me that he could not believe that my car was that fast and that it took everything he had to get pass me.........so i'm proud of my baby tonight........she's also bone stock.........

Here's one from the other forum...didn't feel like typing it up all over again either. heh www.9thgencorolla.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102777There's one when I first installed my springs and wheels coming back from otown and this Evo8 pulls up along side me on i4 and starts revving his engine and I'm like "yea...you go ahead and waste your gas while I'll save mines loser!" Another night when I was coming home from work. Was on the phone with my friend and busy trying to have a conversation then a 93 civic pulls up along side me and starts revving his engine at me...he looked and sounded stock but I didn't try cuz I was on the phone and my ext was up ahead...funny thing is that I was trying to exit and he was preventing me to exit...I was about to ram into him! Then another was going to work and a Teg pulls up to me and starts revving his engine...sigh...why do you guys do that when there's TRAFFIC!?!? COME ON!! Then a WRX wagon pulls up to me at a light and starts to...well you get the idea...then punches it...we were turning into a neighborhood...and I had friend who I was dropping off...I don't like to race when I have peeps in the car...don't want to endanger them. I think that's about it...none ever since. YES I GIVE OUT DETAIL STORIES!!

ok so most of you are lucky to know what my car sounds like and can appritiate the exhaust note.
so i'm late for school i'm going as fast as i can safely go without speeding and keeping my throttle @ 30-40% open as i go. a white late 80s early 90s civic 4dr revs his engine near me and somehow keeps up with me and arrives at the redlight with me...ugh. i don't race but this guy lol. the light turns green and he lurches forward...not me i drive normal. he stays with me in a lower gear to keep his revs up and lingers in my blind spot (i hate that) so i ease down into 3rd and bring my revs up...too bad he heard the revs change so i open it up 75% then when the rpms get to 4k 100% the s/c whines and he's a spec in my rearview. but now i missed my turn thank goodness cause i didn't want him to follow me lol.
then when i was dropping my son off i had a teg flash its hazards infront of me and kept on reving...wtf? i don't understand? i guess he missed every gear lol they almost hit the car infront of them and pulled off to the side...i was already in 2nd so i rev'd right by his dumb ass. lol
are these better than the v10 win awhile back?

There's one night coming home from otown and I decided since I've never pushed my car before, thought to myself "let's try it" and punched it...then in my rear view this 8thgen civic whom I was in front of him for awhile decided to actually trying to chase me down(keyword trying). So after I hit the 100 mark I let off so he can catch up. Hahah I did at least 4 times and he was trying to keep up. Cat and mouse all the way...was wondering how I got home so fast that night..! Hah

i forgot to mention, those 3races with my buddies 350z, one of them, before we were getting to a red light, we wereboth around 90mph and both stomped on the brakes at the same time, of cours me by reaction i jerked my e-brake a couple times. and lemme just say, i have no 1k big brake kit.i have regular calipers with Tom's performance brake pads stopping obx drilled/slotted rotors, and rear levin disk conversion, and daaaaimn i literally only stopped 3/4 of a car in front of my buddies 350z that comes stock with brembo brakes system. so i was pretty happy about that outcome
