This old late 80's Celica ST (I guess my car is old too 
) started trying to mess with me tonight. I almost never race anyone because I always feel guilty afterwards for flogging/abusing my car, but this kid looked like he was in highschool and I wanted to show him how slow his dumb N/A Celica was (nothing against highschoolers...just the one's who try to race everyone). So I let him get even with me, we were both going about 50-55 and I down shifted into 3rd and hit it. He got on it too and to my suprise he was pretty much able to keep up. We kept playing around letting each other get even then taking off and eventually we got onto the interstate where he just floored it (I assume) and eventually ended up getting up to around 110 (I followed him up to around 100 but quit there for fear of tickets and abusing my car too much). We both got off on the next offramp and I honked at him so he'd stop and let me talk to him. I asked him if his car was stock and he said it was but I know that is crap since the Celica ST is the basest of Celica's and only a 9 second to 60 car. He said it had 350,000 miles on it (probably someone put the Celica turbo engine in there at some point (trying to make myself feel better)) and I told him I had 180,000 on mine and he said "really? that sum-bitch'll run!" So we said bye and he peeled away like a highschooler. I guess he made me feel like I make 80's Camaro drivers feel. Oh well, my engine is stock.
