My Scion xD vs. New generation Si and last gen Si
Just like to say first and foremost, this was not on the street, it was on the strip. I conclude that the Scion xD is probably one of the most underated cars this year as far as hp and acceleration. My xD is completely stock other than lowering springs.
I dont have a scanner so i can't scan my slips, but I will tell u that the xD is a high 15 second car if u show up with a low gas load and u can drive. I will be posting videos in the next couple of days (in car shots).
At the dragstrip there must have been a Civic Si club or meet because there was over a dozen of them there. I ended up racing 2 and beat them both, one was the last generation sI (170 hp) and the other one was the new one (195hp) I dont know what mods they had but im guessing minor if any. Odviously the new gen Si wasnt the perfect driver because it should have beat me but I can tell u he launched fine and didnt miss any gears( u will see the video) . And to tell u the truth, last summer i took a completly stock tC from the dealership and ran slower than I did in the xD... I'm not a perfect driver but I consider myself pretty good.

You can't dump the clutch in a tC, so if you ran slower in the tC, you must not have modulated the throttle good enough off the line. It's a bit rough to put down the tQ the tC makes with only one wheel spinning.
High 15's in the xD though, I would not have expected. Good runs man. Waiting on the vids and slips.

So how does the xD handle (corners/breaking) in comparison to an xA/xB with the same set-up would you guess? I have heard the xD feels sluggish and heavier but then again you seem to have an actual handle on this instead of a half hearted guess.

bump for vids, didnt know xd can be pretty decent stock.. for sure the new gen si driver isnt good but low 15s on xd can still beat quite a few new si drivers espcially noobs
