1994 Toyota Tercel (5 speed) vs 1986 Pontiac Firebird 2.8 (auto)
According to Toyota Tercel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Tercel is rated at 110 horsepower.
My friend's Firebird, is rated at 135 horsepower.
The Tercel is actually surprisingly quick I find.
The driver of the Tercel is a very good driver... Not sure about the Firebird driver.
Here's that super fast Tercel beside my 95 Camaro!

That is a really cute car combo,,, LOL! Does the Tercel have a big block? I think it should be a close race! Is the firebird stick or auto?

I am serious, I want to see the guy with the Firebird embarassed by the Tercel.
He's going around talking a lot of smack, saying he can race ANYONE and win. I want to see him lose, and get embrassed by the "mini-me"
I think the Tercel will win, due to power to weight and a better driver. The Firebird is an auto, as stated in my topic.

There is nothing wrong with you trying to race really slow cars everybody here has done it at some point in time. Don't get cazy when you do race.

The Trecel should have it, the F-body needs to run from a dig if he wants a chance. The Trecel has about an 800lbs weight advtange, you figure 100lbs=10hp, that hp difference if they weight the same works out to be 190hp vs. 135hp. The Camaros got torque, but not enough to offset all the adt'l weight. The auto tranny and probable badly geared rear are just going to hurt it more against the 5spd Trecel.
I'd race the v6 Camaro one of my Escorts, that'd be a close race.

Uuh yes this is 3rd gen related seeing as how the race was (supposed to be) between the Tercel and a 3rd gen Firebird. The 4th gen Camaro owner is the owner of the Tercel.

1987 Subaru Justy vs. 1983 Chevy Impala 3.8 liter. These are both EASY 20 second cars, I am going to bring a packed lunch and have a picnic during the race. Hopefully they don't decide to run twice, that'll be worse than watching Miami Vice 2 times in a row.
