It's on page 120 of Jan 06
The article is very short and the only review given other than performance figures are that "Spinning the TC's front wheels has never been so easy" and "the blown engine has an especially sweet midrange pull that makes passing at highway speeds a breeze." Oh yeah and it needs an LSD

Here are the figures: note that the SC TC has 18s and the stock had 17s

Stock VS SC

0-60 7.4 / 6.9
0-100 19.7 / 17.1
1/4 mile 15.6@89.9mph / 15.1@94mph
Top Speed 127 / 127
Braking from 60 126 / 129
braking from 80 225 / 227
Skidpad .82g / .84g
Slalom 64.0mph / 65.0mph
Their mpg 23.8mpg / est 19mpg

hmmm...makes me think the strip was wet or somthing :eyebrow:

oh well, interesting though...discuss you thoughts

we all knew the S/c wasnt going to make the TC a monster...i personaly think the s/c is a waste of hard earned money (for those of u who work) but people bought it...so thats that

I get R&T too.

I especially like this:
"With the standard pulley, the centrifugal blower - a TRD design built by Vortech - makes 7 psi of boost, a level that doesn't necessitate an intercooler."

Not after ZPI does their magic :bow:

Oh, the test numbers were done with the 18" factory option and body kit. (thus why braking, skidpad, etc. changed) i bet with the 17" stockers, it's a tad faster.

Though I have to admit the 17.1sec 0-100 time is much improved, shaving off 2.6sec isn't bad...I really expected it to "smoke" the new SI (which R&T reports 0-100 in 16.8sec. The 0-60 time should not bother anyone too much once you remember that the TC (like the SI) must shift twice before that 60mph mark is hit. But still, ~220hp-with torque- should be more than enough to outrun the Honda.

maybe there drivers sucke becouse a decent amount of us now have hit 15.2 with very little mods

and i think there have been 14 sec s/c tc times posted already well hight 14 but still 14

why don't they post the reaction times... lol.

You can tell there are traction issues by observing the mph. 94 is decent, should be a little higher though

reaction times dont play a part in your et


just becouse they can react fast doesnt meen they can launch a car they have only driven 2 times they dont get enough time to build up a technique

Thats right, even though they do this for a living they do not really have enough time to put into each car, especially something they problably consider "not all that" since these guys get to drive cars like vettes, vipers, and porsches around!

Still nice to have an official review though, I'm gonna have to look for the magazine.

That mph is more like a 14.7.... there were bog/traction issues no doubt.
