I don't know but I just ran my friend's GT and we were close up to 2nd gear. After third gear he left me with about 2 car length. I think it's my torque! My headers' killing my low end. Also, my 6-port is not working and I get hesitation above 4K RPM.

No NOS or anything. He's bonestock. I know I could have taken him if the straight was long enough to get my power up to a hgiher RPM. My S-AFC was leaned out to 14.5:1. I don't know if my hesistation was because it was running lean or because of my belt slipping (btw, I posted another thread for that). I know its my torque that killed me!!!

They don't have that much TQ.......... I raced once a friends GT from a dead stop. He hooked up right away and I stayed on the same place pretty much, while my tires where trying to bite the asphalt. By the end of 2nd gear I recover a lot of lost time, but we had to shut it because of lack of street. I'm sure that by third gear he would've seen my tags.......

Damn 6-ports!!! I can't do anything now since my air pump is gone. I can't make my Summit racing RPM switch to work too for my electronic 6-port project. Oh well, I guess, it's really time for a turbocharge NA.

What the ****? Dude, the ports dont take that much power away when they are open. They are hurting you WAY more closed than they every will open, seriously.

I dont think id waste my time with a GT even with all basic bolt ons. In my 240, I raced my friends and by the end of 2nd I was about 8 or 9 car lengths ahead, and at the time I serously didnt know if he was racing or not. I dont see any reason why a modded NA cant literally drive away from a GT.

1. Dude was still standing at the light, checking out the hotties, when you drove off.
2. You where driving a Viper and he was in a Model-T.
3. You guys where actually playing GT3 and his controller wasn't working.
4. He wasn't racing.
There just isn't that much of a power difference between a 240SX and a Celica GT for you to be that much ahead after 2 gears.

celicaGT: 140-5?
I think he was exaggerating. Late model 240's are fast with bpu's though.
