Default GOT BEATEN BY A COROLLA!!!!??!

So I'm cruzing down the parkway. Then all the sudden I see a corrolla type S zoomed by me. The car was lowered, tinted, and rims along with a AEM license plate frame. So I thought I'd have some fun..Why not right? So I downshifted and and he sped up. And so it was on. well long story short I he had half a car lenght on me. We went at it 3 times. ALL three times I lost. WASSUP WITH THAT?! I'm so embrassed. and my car is stock by the way. So what do you guys think? any feedback and comments are welcomed.

How sure are you that it was a Corolla S? Perhaps it was an XRS?

My wife has a 2003 Corolla. It deffinetly wouldnt have beaten my car when mine was stock. Se either he had something done to it (they have superchargers just like we do) or your driving wasnt to good.

Umm I think it was 3rd because I was in 4 gear at 4kish I think I dont recall, but we also went at it at a light, so I dunno what the deal was. I been driving stick my whole life. So I was really disappointed...do they make a supercharger for that model corolla?

Learn how to drive.

By the way, if it was supercharged I think it would beat you by more then 1/2 a car.

hmm thats not a bad theory...I can't really tell the differences between a xrs and a corolla type S to be honest with you. LOL

If he had disk brakes in the rear it was an XRS if it had drum brakes then it would had been an S.

the XRS is nearly indistinguishable from the S. My gf has the S and i would blow that thing away ANYTIME with my stock tC. However, my friend who has an XRS will stick with me and actually pull me on the highway a little.
