Default Been gone, fastest scions?

So ive been gone for quite a while, i need no introduction. I've been hated and loved by many, but i insure everybody ive done a lot of growning up since ive been around...

Anyway, so who are the fastest scions on the forums now-in-days? Tc's Xb's and Xa's. Just curious. [=

Just go look in the FI section it won't be that much work finding a few "fast" scions there. I believe the new Higest number to beat is like 745 or so with kenny Tran's jotech tC...

ehhh its what ever. I have a fast scion.

thanks for the responses however im not looking for numbers entirely, im looking for results.

power to weight? i didnt know if anyone has replaced the sun panels with cf or anything of the sorts. whp alone doesn't equal speed.

im also just talking about within the community.

Kaminari makes carbon fiber roof panels, funny you mention that.

318_tC had been the reigning champ before Kenny Tran came along with his Nitto tC beast. Unlike Rado's drag tC, it's actually a tC with a 2AZ in it.

So, a brick wall with 800whp can out run a corvette with 775hp?

Power: 300BHP @ 8,200rpm
Torque: 250tq @ 6,100rpm
Redline: 8,600rpm

0-60: 2.7
0-100-0 testing: 10.88

2008 Corvette Zo6
Weight: 3,300lbs
Engine: v8

0-60: 3.9-4.1
0-100-0: Unavailable.

Although some information couldnt be provided in this example (i can give thousands, just used the corvette since it was mentioned earlier) i clearly made my point. Unless you can prove accurate, true and helpful information stay off my threads please. Also, stay on topic.

sure it can! It all depends If the 12 ton elaphant who was suppost to be driving the corvette feels well enough to do so. For sure the brick wall has a slight advantage.

Hey buddy! Take a chill pill, there was no intention to offend. I was just playing around with you! I don't want you to developed drain bamage, but look at it this way.. in the end all of cars.... the lightest weight you can achieve is 0lbs...depending on how big you build a motor... there is a potential of an unlimited amount of Horse Power from that motor. if I make a motor car with over 1,000,000, hp and you have a atom with the supercharged Honda motor, I will win...

in reality, what I am trying to say is blanket statements such as "whp alone doesn't equal speed." can not be made without considering the other variables.
besides in the end, the true definition of speed is your "Gearing"

I am sorry, and I will now be back on topic.

this comment is funny. Just because someone is twincharged, does not make them the fastest. You could twin charge and be under 300WHP.
Not to mention if set up wrong, it could be the slowest.

...well i guess no one has anything to say on topic so, looks like scionlife hasnt changed much.

Twincharging is a waste of money, imo.

Not commenting on the rest. lol

Thanks anyway.

, yet the Honda motor they used to use in the Ariel Atom is ALOT better than the Ecotec that is being used now. Worst decision Ariel has ever made.

that nitto tc is pulling soem massive horsepower for the "stock" engine...i got expanded to a 2.6 liter if i am not mistaken and other slight modifications. 734whp is a lot, carbon fiber parts dont make that much of a difference when its the same car and the difference in horsepower is noticeable.....a 300whp turboed regular tc with maybe carbon fiber hood/trunk and roof wont beat the nitto tc (which also has a carbonfiber hood) but even if it didnt...its the same car, the weight difference wont be that amssive

Your right, it wouldnt, but if all panels are replaced with cf and the interior is stripped, it can make a big difference. Sure, not enough to beat 7xxwhp, but regardless.

Wait....when you say the fastest Scions, you mean track/ street Scions, or HP? cause all I'n seen mention here are cars with allot of HP, but little to none track use. Kenny Tran Has the highest HP on an actual tC motor(well other then Leslie, but thats a full out drag car), thats awesome, but I dont think hes ever tracked that car, I love to see him do a couple of 1/4 pulls on that thing. There are a few high HP tC's out there, but once again they are mostly show cars, not really track able(correct me if I'm wrong please), there's a tC thats currently beeing prepared for track use purposes only, like Rado's tC, but with allot more HP(can't say who it is just yet, but he is a member here.) Unfortunately he does not post too often, but allot of people do know his car, coming very soon........
