I'm not sure, did you have your bypass vlv upgraded when you dynoed the car, if you did your boost might have been higher than mine, also ambient conditions, did you dyno in the winter or summer? I haven't heard of an 05-06 s/c tc dyno that close to 200whp, got a dyno sheet, just to compare to mine.

^ Everyone who said GTI hands down....sucks at driving

< Could make it a drivers race with a S/C'ed tC vs a stock GTI

< Don't have to every worry about racing a TRD tC though, cause I'm turboed.

v Sucks if you think a GTI is hands down faster


PS....There is no option for Driver's Race? Cause that's what it is.

Those graphics must have given you 40 hp, because your power mods only put you at 150-160whp.

It say's he is S/C'ed with a 9.5 PSI pulley. Where you get 150-160whp from, or am I missing something?

Obviously you didnt let it go, or you wouldnt have responded. so relax!!!

And you claim to not street race, but you had a GTI on your butt, you downshifted and tried to leave him. THATS RACING!!! TWO CARS WITH ONE TRYING TO OUT ACCELERATE THE OTHER IS RACING!!! SO yes, you are a street racer!!

Street Racing.....what's that Do you like pick up the streets and race with them? Hmm...guess it would come down to who had the best bulldozer..

I guess I've been making Scions look bad for about 3-4 years now.... Oh well...must not be to bad if people bought their cars specifically because the saw what mine does. You guys crackin me up in this thread.

How do you dictate what other people's (miles away from you, whome you have never met, and only talk to on a computer screen) driving habits are.

My fiance would have break checked him (cause she has road rage...lol). Me, it just depends on how I felt that day on what I would have done.

I agree with rhythm, its a driver's race, with a slight edge to the GTI due to the better geared tranny


here it is, I found it, my car was all stock except for the s/c and his didn't sound like it had anything special so ill say it was stock. Its at the track so can't complain about street racing.

Yeah, cause to my knowledge, I have the first documented (i.e. video taped) street races with a Scion tC, that date back to what 2006, can't remember... And to be completely honest with everyone.....

Raced a Jackson racing S/C'ed Civic Hatchback (old body style like 89 model or something) @ 7 PSI yesterday. It was a massacare. Even my boy Nick's N/A'ed tC pulled on it. He has full bolt-on's minus a crank pulley.


.....I don't have a flame suit to put on, because I was born with fire proof skin.....

oh one more thing the majority of states 1mph over is not illegal. Its usually anything over 5mph that is. The most they can usually do is give you a warning but no ticket for less than 5mph over the speed limit.
