I think that is the BEST compliment when other forums are talking positively about Scions.

Sweet I ran against some of them back in 2003 with my turbo Matrix and they were all really cool guys to hang out with. I was faster than all but one who was really quick. I was having serious heat issues with the design a "turbo shop" built for me so not all that fast. My son and I rebuilt it later but did not do any more drag racing, much faster but no idea how fast it was. Our tC will be alot quicker anyway but not a drag race car.

You read some threads in the RSX or honda forums and regardless of what the tC can do, they simply have nothing nice to say about these cars.

Props to those guys at clubgp.

Because they are so intimidated, ignorant, self serving, imature... That is only the weak vocal ones, there are many I am sure that are of more mature and intellectual bent that do not say such things

agreed. we can't group them all into one bin because of a few naysayers. there is much to learn from the world of honda engines... 100hp+/1L of displacement. mmmmmm

i think the worst part about the GTP thread is the fact that during the video thats posted, Linkin Park is playing.....those guys suck....but yea, i was very flattered too to hear nice things coming from another car board.

I'm glad to see we have some people talking nice about us. After reading the RSX forums i was kind of discouraged about this, but I think we can all be friends

ahaha, I got it the first time around and that is pretty funny.

I like to lurk around other auto forums just to see what they have to say about our scions and most have nothing but good things to say (about the tC). Although, I did see on a Daewoo forum (don't ask) where someone claims he beat a tC in his Daewoo??? I read around but couldn't find any info on what he has done to his car. Still made me laugh though.

I believe it. In fact, just the other day, I passed a ferrari like it was standing still.


(ok, so it was parked.)
