I found that on youtube:

And the video says that it's a 2007 Scion tC, but if you look closely at the steering wheel in the beginning you can see that there are no buttons for the radio, therefor it's a 2005. It's not a big deal, but yeah...

 

It could be a 2007 afterall. Don't forget the Tuner Spec tC (or whatever it's called) has no steering wheel radio controls.

 

Hmm... I guess you may be right

 

I know nothing about racing at a track ... it looked like they went around the track at like 30mph, were they just doing a little test lap?

 

Haha it always looks like they're going 30mph they're going faster =)

 

they are going like 10 tops! haha

 

I think I can ride my bike faster than they drive.

 

I almost fell asleep watching that...

 

what the?? What was that other car... a Camaro? I can't believe the tC can't outturn a giant muscle car like that... should've easily whooped it in the corners...

maybe what they need are suspension upgrades, rather than "more power." That's the call of most of your more "average joe" type muscle car "enthusiasts," which is why they're only good in fake "racing" (aka, in a straight line).

Real enthusiasts go for suspension upgrades too!

 

It was a old school stang as stated... and had over 300hp with race tires....

In all honesty, they were coming out of the corner way to slow. I think it was a beginers day, practice laps.... is what it looked like.

 

heres one of Keiths... his first run ever.....

 

thanks for adding the music, its not like we wanted to hear the engine or anything

 

I know the driver in that video. Car is a '07 spec. He took out the rear seats and is making it into a "true" sports car... wants to race on the track.

 

"true" race car eh? FINALLY i'll get to see a RWD conversion tC!!!!one!!!eleven!!!

 

Uh yeah, muscle car drivers who go into drag racing do beef up their suspension as well. The less your car wobbles or steers in a different direction that straight, the better.

So it's not really "fake" racing, a race is to get to the finish first/fastest right?

More power is the name of the game for everyone, and suspension will follow suit as after you've added 100+ HP to your car, keeping all that balanced and in control is essential.

And a tC getting it's ___ handed to him by a Camaro sounds about right, especially if it's an SS; but the video said it was a Mustang, which still makes sense. 300 hp will be 160 any day, unless the driver of said 300 hp screws up somehow.

 

i like his wheel/tire combo

The point was that 300 hp isn't going to help you turn a corner faster.

I didn't mean to offend anyone or make a generalization that all "muscle cars" had no suspension work done... I tried to make that clear in my last post. I don't hate on muscle cars; on the contrary, I can respect them in their own right. It's just when two different worlds of automobile get clashed together that interesting things happen.

Sorry if anyone misunderstood...

 

No I got ya, just sounded a tad pompous about the tC should have easily outrun a muscle car, no offense taken though.

But it did look like it was their first time, so maybe the driver didn't know how to pass a car properly yet?

 

Yup cool... yea sorry I realized I did sound a bit pompous, but its all cleared up now

Yea I think so as well... almost seemed like some sort of "warm-up" type of lap or something... maybe we'll see something better in the future?

I still do wish there was no music, though! My #1 rule about in-car video is that the only music should be coming from the engine :D

newbies....their lines are horrible
