I'm calling [sm=bs.gif]. 02 265 hp GT: 0-60 in approx. 5.4s, 1/4 13.8-14.6 > any 99-04 190 V6 0-60 in approx 7.4-8.8s, 1/4 in 15.6-16.2s yea, I really call BS

Foxbody 205-225 hp 5.0: 0-60 in approx 5.9-6.1s, 1/4 in 14.6-15.4s > any 99-04 190 V6 0-60 in approx 7.4-8.8s, 1/4 in 15.6-16.2s unless it was an auto or a sh*tty driver, you're screwed.

sadly, i actually agree wit jthorn. aint no way you beat a 260 hp 302 tq 02 GT if the guy was trying. even an automatic vert GT runs high 14's. which is far faster than a 99-04 v6. nice try though.

you should beat a 5.0 unless its modded to hell cause i have and i dont care what anybody says cause i have, o yeah a 02 gt too
Did the GT realize you were racing? Or did he end up behind a 75 year old lady in a Lincoln?

Celica is a toss up as your auto tranny is going to kill you. Now even if the 5.0 were an auto you'd have to get hell of a lot lucky to beat him as his car would have to either be raged out, or would just have to have a seriously crappy launch and you a superb launch to win. If he's a manual, you're screwed. Old foxbody 5.0 225hp>190hp Edge V6
When the f*ck did the foxes have 225hp from the factory? It'll be close if the fox is stock, but driver's race close. Pretty much whoever gets the good launch in the 1320.

I didn't race them yet but soon. My friend with the firebird raced the Celica sort-a and said that the Celica wasn't that fast.

The Firebirds racing the 02 GT soon, don't you hate when GT guys think their all that because they have 2 more cylinders than us. The firebirds gonna blown the GT away, hes gonna fuc*ing cry when he loses.
