tC owners are going to LOVE this... tC beats new Lexus IS!

Hey guys and gals,

Your tCs are faster than a lot of people think. Check out this street racing win by the tC!

Lets just say, I blew it with this version of the IS. I expected much more, especially when going against a Scion tC, lol. Today, the weather was awfully hot @106 degrees.

I could not keep up with the tC as it continue to pull ahead by more than half a car length!!!! Don't know what I'm doing wrong. The pedal is to the floor. Is it proper to be spanked by a Scion tC? I'm in a IS250 and you would think this class can beat a stock compact sedan.

Thought you might like that...

not that the tC is all that fast, just the the new is250 is ridiculously slow! 0-60 times favor the tC.

Ya the 250 is an underpowered car for its weight.

from Lexus.com IS250: 204HP/185lb-ft, 0-60= 7.9 seconds. Just under 3500 lbs. Maybe a 6 speed manual would be close.

wat about the audi tt. i beat a audi tt with my 08 tc of the line until mid 4th. which i found freakin shocking ___ hell. how much hp and lb/ft of tq do they have and how much is the weight of the audi tt like a 2003 model.
