The Toyota Pro Celebrity Race is on the Speed channel right now. Scion tC's everywhere.

 

the race happened in April.. been passed. I saw it live. that is all... haha

 

yea I know I just figured it would be a good rerun to to catch

 

This must be at least the 4th rerun since April. I saw it a couple of weeks after the event, and then again in mid-May.

check for part 2.3 and 4

 

^ ty for posting that

 

Anyone know the specs on those cars? They looked pretty close to factory, but they seemed to be taking the corners fairly flat. Maybe just a few suspension upgrades?

 

they've all got superchargers, kami wings, and i'm pretty certain they're all 'spec' tc's and i think they might have even replaced the roof glass.

probably trd shocks/struts/springs.

stock wheels with the potenza's they mention.

looks like tinted tails and such as well, weird.

 

youre wrong on most of those specs... they have the TRD S/C, TRD Exhaust and Header, TRD LSD, Kaminari rear wing, Kaminari carbon fiber roof, Progress Coilovers, 17" BBSs wrapped in Potenzas, and TRD BBK and as for the race, these guys this year sucked.. they kept playing bumper cars but it made for good entertainment.. haha

 

TRD headers?? they didnt sound like they had headers, i know they had sc and exhaust but they didnt sound header like and i doubt they went through all the hassle of putting on resonators and stuff

 

TRD did make a header, but its only for these cars, they have never sold them to the public.

 

Actually.....this was taken directly from the press release for the tC's in the LBGP...

The race-ready, identically-prepared tCs will produce 170-horsepower at 5,700 rpm. They will be equipped with performance enhancements that include a DC Sports stainless steel exhaust and ceramic header, Centerforce single-disc racing clutch, Progress Technology racing coil-over shocks and springs, Stop-Tech brakes and full roll cage."

No Supercharger folks.

 

^ that's probably from the 1st year they used the tC..

 

I stand corrected, my apologies.
