Before I begin this take of laughter and plain old recklessness, let me set the mood for you. It's a very nice and sunny day today as my co-worker and I hop in the tC to grab some grub from the local Burger King. I will refer to him as "The Bodyguard" as I was simply amazed his 6'9", 375lb frame actually fit in my car.

Sunroof open and both windows down we peacefully cruise over to the BK, and as I shift into the left turning lane, I noticed a little red ZX2 pass by and rev his engine. As we park and get out of my car I ask the Bodyguard, "Did he just rev at me??".

A few minutes later we exit the BK, hop into my car and I zip out and get into the left lane behind a Suburban... what do we find in the right lane just a car ahead of us? Yes... this lovely red ZX2. Now let me describe the scene to you...

This isn't ZX2 isn't like any other ZX2 you've seen. Sure it may look like the same red 2dr Escort Coupe I've got parked at home, but it's got many extras. It looks like several rolls of duct tape and electrical tape are being used to hold this poor car together. It's riding on the stock 4x4 suspension with cheap 15" wheels and sporting the oh powerful dual outlet muffler in the back. If that wasn't bad enough, the driver was a skinny white boy in a wife beater with his cap turned slightly to the right. I will refer to him as Mr Buster from here on in.

Well we're sitting waiting on the light and there's a girl jogging by... what does Mr Buster do? Rev his engine and bounce it half a dozen times off the rev limiter. The jogging girl just kept on jogging without batting an eye. Light turns green and we move off slowly with the pack of cars. As we creep by the ZX2 I yell "teamzx2.com" out the window hoping he joins up so I can have Mizzou rip this guy a new one.

Well he noticed... not sure if he heard me right, but he definitely got all worked up. The two miles back to work involved episodes of Mr Buster hanging out the side of his car yelling insults such as "whacha got now BOOYYEEE??"" and "you Scion ___got!" as he held up traffic to make room to bounce his car off the rev limit, dump the clutch and take off, then slow down and wait for myself and the Bodyguard to catch up since we were just cruising along doing a lowly 35mph laughing our asses off (I think this ____ed him off? hehe).

Finally the light before our area of employment we are stuck behind only the suburban and he's by himself at the red light. I had informed him to lay off on his smack talking and let him know that this car was supercharged... I'm not sure he heard me. The Bodyguard told this guy flat out that he would lose. Instead we got another barrage of insults and obscenities slung at us. We continued laughing as we waited on the light and I yelled back that if this Scion offended him I could bring my turbo ZX2 and have ourselves a match up. At this point I'm sure he's either deaf or ignorant (or maybe both?).

Light turns green and we creep along behind the suburban doing 20mph or so with my tC in second gear, and Mr Buster creeps along with his rear bumper at my front fender still hanging out the window acting all gangsta. Oh snap... the suburban turned off... two clear lanes. The gangsta finally gets his ___ in his car and pegs the throttle... I follow suit... I zip by him so quick and I'm laughing so hard that I wasn't paying attention to the tach and end up bouncing my rev limiter. But it didn't matter, because when I did put it into 3rd and went to look to see where he was at... I already had over a car length between my rear bumper and his front bumper, so I'd already pulled 3 cars on him

But here's my turn.. so I lay on the brakes and as I start making the turn the gangsta is going all "what?? what??" as he's hanging out of his car again.

I park the car at work and we walk back to our office laughing our asses off at the clown.


PS: The BK meal was good in case you were wondering.

sorry to be off topic, but I just noticed you have an 07MY and youre S/C, when did they come out w/ a S/C for 07? Is the BHP rating any different?

 

The S/C was released like 3 weeks ago. They didn't change any ratings, but the 07 engine had a ton of changes done to it, I'll have dynos of the S/C vs what I did stock in a couple weeks. THe did make numerous changes to the S/C as well (tougher mounting bracket, meaner pulley bolt, much better belt)
