Last Friday was another regular TT with the guys from Celica Club Malaysia and as usual there would be a convoy. Just before the convoy began, they decided that later that night, there would be a drag session. As my car is still in the workshop, I went there in my friend's manual Celica and I had to sit in the rear as he brought his brother in law.
I wanted to try sitting in the rear seats for once to feel the comfort of the seat as many have complained about my rear seats being too hard. My friend's ride is more towards the soft side and it was comfortable as long as I don't try to look to the back. Soon we head to an unknown place that has a very wide, long and new road. Perfect for drag use and we were joined by a small R35 gang and some mixture of 2 Honda Civic Type R Euro (one Mugen), 1 Subaru Impreza Version 9 and 1 Mitsubishi Evo 5.
This time, only the big and powerful car including the one Turbo Celica and NOS Celica dragged. It was a rare sight especially a Top Secret R35. After that, I experienced another new feeling. My members have always told me the vast difference in power between an auto and a manual Celica but I didn't mind that much.
That night, I experienced the full power of a Celica as my friend keeps revving his car and accelerate like there is no tomorrow. I have never felt that much torque from a Celica and I was just mesmerized. All he needs is a stiffer suspension and my neck hurts a lot from the jerking and rear seats. I really fell in love with the manual and its power. Too cool.
