hahahahah i had another encounter with the scion kid today.
He still truly believes his car is faster (maybe because he drives fast? 60mph in residential much?)
He's even willing to put money down on a race with him...but of course he wants to street race *sigh*

Just tell him straight line racing is a numbers game and his car just doesnt have the numbers.

One thing I can say about the Scion Tc is it's one tough little car, the one we campaigned for the 25hrs of Thunderhill has been through hell and back, the car got rolled and still finished the race the engine has over 60 hours of some of the worst abuse ever on it and just yesterday when the car arrived back from the cage builders who did a little repair work on the cage which took the brunt of the 80+mph rollover I did a leakdown and compression test on the motor.

Compression was 190psi on all four cylinders and leakdown was 3% or less on all four, not bad for a motor that when I tested it in stock NA form made 127whp on our dyno and with a simple bolt on turbo kit has been making over 280whp for all of it's race hours.

Wahoo! Thanks Mike for throwing out support for TC owners! My wife has one, and since I sold my scoob I have been driving it. Its great in stock form and obviously it can be made into a sweet track car. Majority of the time FWD is teh fail...but I have to say I have been pretty happy with the tc.

I am very impressed with them for the money, some of the TRD stuff for them is great as well! The TRD BBK is Stoptech and the TRD front diff is Quaffie
