Default horribly embarrasing

SO i pulled up to a celica gt-s at a light, and he started revving at me... sounded like one of those tin can mufflers. So i decided to show this kid what was up... We both hammered it on green and we were dead even until half way through second. At that point his car slowly started pulling on me and didn't stop I gave up around 90. I was pissed. But I haven't been defeated. I'll admit im a noob to this whole mod thing. But I have some extra cash and an 03 v6... What should I do to be able to beat a car like this?

Do you have ANY mods yet? If so, tell us what they are.

Yea don't worry, the GT-S's are pretty quick stock. Hey you win some you loose some, thats how it goes. As far as mods just do the basics right now like an exhaust, CAI, some gears and limited slip. Those will get you up and going until you start getting bigger as far as mods go.

Ok,,Celica GT's are fair game for you. But the GT-s is another story. A CAI, dual exhaust, 42%UDP's 4.10 gears, and a T-lok, will make your car so it can be in competition. The GT-s was a really quick Celica.
