Ok I have a buddy that wants to race for money. He bought a Celica GT-S about 2 months ago. It is completely stock. It has the TRD package and claims to have 194HP. I have a 97 Auto Maxima, GXE. I have Stillen Intake, Stillen Y-Pipe, Custom Cat-Back Exhaust system. Who would win. He wants to race for $200 bucks. I told him that if we raced it would be a best out of 3 and he said ok. Should I race him or would I lose my money? I also just bought a brand new fuel pump which seemed to help acceleration but I dont think that will make a difference. So should I race him or not? Oh the race would be a 1/4 mile long. Thanks

When I was at the track I saw a stock Celica GT-S 6 speed run 15.5. However, I also saw one that had an intake and exhaust run a 14.6 neck and neck with an Integra Type-R 14.5. I think it is how well the driver knows how to shift their 6-speed.

Your max weighs more than than the GT-S. I notice that you have no suspension mods, so that means the GT-S TRD suspension stock for stock is better than yours na d thats not good. But don't be suprised to see if he gives you a run for your money(200 bucks). He is light and quick, and has 6-SPDs, and if he can drive a stick meaning he can race, i will not be suprised if he beats you. Think of a TYPE-R racing u, thyis car has very close gears, and is just fast. Good luck hope you win!!!

It is definitely gonna take some effort. I raced a GTS this past weekend. I think it was pretty much stock accept for some type of intake mod because it sounded a little louder than stock. Granted we didn't begin from a start. We started at approximately 65mph so I was at the bottom of 3rd gear. Immediately as we began the race he started pulling away, but by the top of third and shifting into 4th we were neck and neck. By the time I was at the top of 4th, I had pulled approximately a 1/2 a car a head. We stayed that way till we had to shut it down at about 125mph.
Those cars are fast...I have never raced one from a stop but I was thoroughly impressed by the freeway action. This was my hardest race in a long time but it was fun.
You have an automatic so you may have your work cut out for you.
