Read the thread, where do you see anyone asking how to make their GTE or Any FI faster? With that said bring your sports design to NY and ill see you with my moms corolla.

I'm not even for sure what your talking about fella, the guy said his moms corolla is faster then any GS300, and i was asking if his moms Corolla could beat a boosted GS3?


So what are you trying to say to me? you want to race my stock sport design against your moms corolla?


I think you need to quit tearing up your moms car, my GS3 is for driving me around comfy, I've had plenty of fast cars, and still have one if someone felt froggy.

I see.. Well NO it can NOT beat a boosted GS. We were talking about GS3 GE till the GTE was thrown in the mix

You are correct though, My GS3 also does what its made for, Comfortable luxury performance

Aka Paco was responding specifically to the "mom's corolla beating ANY GS3" hence the "ANY", which would include NA-T and GTE, and it was meant in fun.
To the OP, other than FI(Na-T or full GTE swap), you'd just be chasing your tail trying to put mods in a GS3 with just BPU stuff to get a lot of performance out of it. I've had friends with GS3's complain about it in years past, after trying various BPU

Again you need to READ the Thread, the question was pointing towards a GE, no GTE, NA-T.. Its CALLED COMMON SENSE. (in a sense) I thought We were comparing apples to apples here. If this is what we are gonna start to talk about then I can Throw a boosted Corolla in to the discussion.

Lol nice!

OP, Trying driving your GS3 in Power Mode and you will see a difference. In Automanual (hope you can drive manual trans) and you will see a bigger difference. I'm not saying this will turn your GS into a Ferrari but for a automatic, luxury, V6 the car can move if driven accordingly. I've shocked a few people

That's what the GS4 is for. The GS3 is comfortable and luxurious but not really performance oriented.

All I have done to my GS400 is an intake and exhaust and I beat my buddy's 4.6 liter mustang gt. He has headers, exhaust, and a new motor and I'm still faster.

It also gives some 911's competition.

LOL I got SMOOKKEEDDD by a Mustang GT the other day. It was funny. Roll from 60-90, in manual mode starting in 3rd gear, and it was over before it started. I got up to 90, the GT probably got to 110 if not more. Gave the dude a thumbs up and exited. Best part about it? My GF's commentary. "OMG what are you doing? Are you RACING?! He SMOKED YOU! That's what you get!"

I knew I was going to lose but I did it because I need to remember that this car is not as fast as it seems, compared to when I raced an old EF hatchback that thought he could pick on me.

He was alone, my car was full with 4 passengers. It was from a roll, about 20-25 mph. It wasn't really a race, more like him sounding like he was driving fast, and my car just accelerating away from him. Everybody laughed at him when he did a typical ricer flyby, cutting me off, and swerving into the turning lane so he can flip a u-turn.

I would like to take my car to a drag track and see what time it does...I know it's not anything special, but it's always good to have a number to judge who you can take out on the streets LOL!
