As rhythm posted, it was probably one of those three things. I didnt check out your mods but Im guessing it was probably a rolla S with a couple mods done to it.

Buddy of mine had an 03 rolla LE (lighter than the S) and he ran a 16.0 at the track stock. He now owns an XRS and it wouldnt even be close if you raced one of those.

 

Everyone makes excuses.

 

Yeah, if he was actually smoked and if it was really that big of an accomplishment to beat a tc.

 

The s runs and 12.4 in the 1/8 and the tc will run in the high 9's. My friend has one and i have beat it many times in a 1.5 civic.

 

OMG! Dude, I thought you might have died or something... I think this is the first post I've seen you make in this section of SL in like 5 or 6 months.

 

As much as I hate "keyboard racing," look up some stats here, guys.

Motor Trend tested a 2003 Corolla S:
0-60: 8.3
1/4 mile: 16.8 @ 88mph.

Road and Track's test of a 2005 tC:
0-60 7.4
1/4 mile: 15.6 @ 89.9

Although the tC is faster on paper, in real life, a ton of factors come into play.

 

Yeah, like crappy drivers....

 

the person who says he has both the corolla and the tC and knows for certain that when both cars are stock that the tC is quicker...

does both cars have a manual transmissions?

corollas in stick shift would destroy an auto tC with a good driver imo

 

Wifes is a manul, mines a stick.

I dont know how you would say the manual corolla would win for sure. Have you not seen the times posted by others in this thread?

I dont understand where the debate is about this:

Motor Trend tested a 2003 Corolla S:
0-60: 8.3
1/4 mile: 16.8 @ 88mph.

oops wife is auto

I would be that buddy. My stone stock 03 Rolla weighed in at 2600 (including stereo) and I went 16.0 at 88. I put a SRI on for a while but never ran with it. I would beat 99-00 Si's all the time. Two of my friends had them with I/E and I never lost from any speed. IF the guy had an S/C, he would have pushed your butt-fur in. The S/C cars run 14.7 to 15.2. If it was an XRS, you would have known, especially if he had an intake. The sound of lift is absurdly loud, and there is no way you would have not heard it as he was passing you. I went 14.9 with an Injen CAI and a Magnaflow muffler (on TC wheels ) so unless you have a TRD S/C, or a ton of NA mods...

 

A few NA tC's are hitting 14.9's with bolt-ons (I/H/DP/E).

 

Heres a funny story.

I'm driving (kinda fast) down the FFX parkway approaching huntsman blvd. The light turns red and I'm in the right lane with nobody in front of me. A black or dark gray tC pulls up next to me in the left lane. The light turns green and I take off normally. I hear the tC gun it and I'm like ok....So I just floor it and let the engine go to 8200 and pull on him a little. We keep catching lights but this guy stays behind me because I don't think he had many chances to try and pass w/ traffic. He did manage to keep on me fairly well. When I pulled off at Ox Rd (rt 123) I gave him the peace sign. There was a Solara on the parkway w/ an exhaust as we pulled off.

I have a 2005 Corolla XRS. I DO NOT have tint or an AEM plate frame. I DO NOT have any engine mods. I kinda think it was me you raced. You're like the 3274623932462379th scion thats wanted to race me. Hey though, It was all fun. The car looked clean or like it was washed not too long ago btw. I'd like to find 2 other cars that I share similar stories with.

Here are 2 pictures of my car.. see if you recognize it.

btw... its not type-s. Its Corolla S.

 

I would love to race a corolla XRS from a stop, but I never see any of them around here.

 

LOL - I was going to go off and explain more about the Corolla, considering it is a HUGE part of SCION Heritage, well all things Toyota are...when you guys realize who MADE your tC's (which look sick done up, btw) we'll talk...

Brian-

 

Great-lookin' car zze131! I'd love to pick up an XRS someday!

 

Just look for 16" wheels or color keyed grills. I'm starting to see them a lot more frequently here.

 

dude thats one sweet looking xrs
the tail lights look like something from the factory what kind are they ?

i love the 8th gen corollas 99-02
my dad has one i would put my hands on when i get some money to mod it

to me the tC is the second generation of what the corolla AE86 was

the hachi rouku evolved into what we tC owners are driving
other than the fact that corolla AE86 were RWD
and are still the best cars to drift in !

DRIFT KING in japan practice drifting and invented drifting in a Corolla AE86

all credits goes to him and the corolla

no doubt

 

what does scion people know about Toyota Corolla's 4AG-E motors built jointly by toyota and yamaha?

all in the Toyota heritage
the vvti motors now in toyotas are not at all inspired by the 5 valves per cylinder 4 individual throttle bodies motors toyota used to built anyway

yamaha quoted that it was the closest toyota has ever gotten in building race-inspired motor with the 20valves inline 4s.

i dont care how much power you could get to the front wheels
its all about balance

all power going into the front wheels (despite add ons like limited slip ) and all pressure from braking going to the front wheels = ouch big time!

*no sports car should be front wheel drive if you want the best handling
i m hoping toyota will bring back the corolla's fame with a new future with AWD or a rear wheel drive systems to its corollas

it might never come to the US market like always..
the Japanese also say that their citizens will benefit from the best FIRST before anybody else

they used to be fun affortable economical rearwheel drive cars that was affordable for many

now talking about this i m getting even more impatient about what toyota and subaru together are doing in japan. ..

the point is however
dont argue people

ignorance kills you
