Im also curious, but judging from the responses so far... we probably wont find an answer here.
The highest WHP Ive seen from an xB has been the ZPI Racing xB (from their video). It made 184whp and 171wtq at 7.5psi.

Hmm. Interesting stuff...
I was searching Google for "greddy emanage scion xb" to read up on it and what not and I ran into this link.
http://www.dragtimes.com/Scion-xB-Timeslip-8488.html
Turbo xB that ran 13.1 @ 110mph.
I wonder if he's on any of the forums.
EDIT::
I found one faster than 13.1...
12.6 @ 108

oxymoron - amen. We be trolling I think.
xB is about style (odd), comfort (decent), price:value (excellent),and utility (decent); definitely not speed. It ain't a sports car or a dragster. This gray hair says you must not know too much about fast cars to have thought otherwise. javascript:emoticon('
')
Come Here
Turn up the stereo and enjoy something besides getting smoked by nearly anyone that puts their foot in it. Just wave bye bye to them. It is small 4 cylinder, FWD for Pete's sake, so 1/4, 1/8 mile ET are a silly idea, waste of spectators time. Little bitty engine, so no point in trying high speed stuff. Most of y'all bought automatics so I know they won't get up and go. It is fun to stay off the brakes when cornering, but that is about it speedwise.
If I had to guess an automatic xB might do low 20's in the 1/4. I am probably being optimistic.

I have two! '05 xB and '06 xB. [Good for keeping my wheelchairs and walkers in the back. ]

Forget the ZPI Racing xB...
I added 2 links to my post above. One xB runs 13.1 the other runs 12.6...
I wonder how much power those two cars are making.
BTW, you can make a 100whp car have 200whp by changing the correction factors on the dyno. I wonder which correction they were running...

The Starlet was Toyota's answer to the 1970's oil embargo. 1000cc engine, it would do 0 -60mph in 23 sec. Great googlymoogly what a ball of fire! I drove a loaded moving van that was as fast. Made the Chevette look quick indeed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Starlet
Someone mentioned 145- 150 HP. Y'all are intent on making my point stronger than I can. You could get 150HP out if a 60's Beetle and it weighed a lot less. And no matter how good FWD gets, RWD is the bomb at the strip. Sheesh, you can by outboards motors that make 250HP.
Boxes are made for cruising. They will never excel at speed work; though if you keep your foot off the brake and you can wet your depends with them. I know I do.
Anyone made a low rider out of a box yet? I am looking for that. Those short over hangs...they ought to pop up real nice.
