So last night my buddy and I decide to race a little bit, but before I get started he has a '92 talon tsi. It's the awd turbo version. I was driving mt N/A '90 Celica GT w/ resticted air box.
Now it's story time.
So we began at a slight roll, about 10mph. I dropped it into first as is he is already there, and I immediately begin to pull on him, I figure well his boost hasn't built up yet, but then I hear it and was like "wow" I'm still ahead, I hit second an pulled a little bit more on him. As we went through 2nd he began catching up. Bam, it's redlined in 2nd so I throw it into drive, feeling it go into 3rd, I noticed he shifted at the same time, and there was the race. His turbo had spooled to full potential as he passed me. I cut it off shortly afterwards knowing there was not a chance in the world I'd be able to catch up. Overall I am happy with results because I was not even expecting to be ahead for any point in time during the race. The fact that I was ahead through 2nd made me happy all by itself. Overall good race and was dissapointed at the poor performance of his car. For some reason I was expecting much more from it.
