Default raced the celica

i took my JDM celica to work today just to look cool by driving from the passenger side, and it was cool, and some guy in a Mach 1 kept looking over like WTF??? so i hit the gas and got the turbo spooling and he dropped down a gear and took off. i dropped down to 3rd and got a good fire going ande blasted by this poor guy at about 120. that thing is so damn fast i always creamed myself. i don't know what the guy did to it but it has 9:1 pistons, a Trust JDM turbo, trust cams, an exhaust and suspension. there is more but i am going to leave it alone. the guy also said it had around 350 HP to the crank.
