why does it matter whos car is faster on the street, its illegal any way, if you want something fast get a 4th gen or 5th gen maxima

 

I raced my friend's GTS he beat me only by 1 1/2 cars but for the first 2 gears I was right there with him but
yeah his car is faster they need torque those GT's. I have bone stock tC i know I would kill a base GT easy.

oh yeah i have 5 spd and not that good of a driver

 

i beat a mkIV golf GTI VR6

 

I've beat every type of car on that list... probally twice

 

i'm going to race my friend's 2001 prelude tomorow. it's an auto and not the SH model...

auto 2001 prelude Vs my auto tC. both cars are stock. i got emx 18" rims, that might slow me down a bit. what do you guys think the outcome will be???

i'm assuming the prelude will win, but according to some data online the auto prelude 0-60 is 8.5 sec and the auto tC is 8.4

this it actually might be a close race. i believe my friends feels the prelude is faster b/c of the vtec noise and exhaust sound, whereas the tC is queit.

 

I would think if your comparing cars. Wouldn't a better comparison on the higher end Celica GT-S, RSX-S to our tC with a Supercharger and not just stock tC. Still puts our tC cheaper then the others.
Isn't that how they pretty much compare cars in price ranges. Take a stock tC add $2,200 for SC your still only around $19,000. Your not going get a new RSX-S or GT-S for that with the options we get.

My choice tC with SC. Just one man's opinion.

Thanks, jjp

dude i totally whomped a v6 tiburon, maybe u should try racing one, and before you say no i didnt and it wasnt a v6, i checked it out and it was.

 

If you say a base RSX is a drivers race and a celica GT is a probably not, then you really have no idea what you are talking about and your post can be dis regarded.

 

Does the original thread starter even have a tC? I just noticed it says "Future Scion Owner". So, in a sense you guys have played into a thread and created 4 pages deep of post. This was nothing more than a tactic to get a rise out of you. We all know the truth, so with that said. Keep killing those would-be cars listed.

 

And it probably came down to the fact you were a better driver. Rythmnsmoke has shown a video or two of him smoking a ep3, yet almost every things else i have seen, in person, video, so on proves the ep3 vs tC in both stock forums are equal. Including a few other tC owners here with videos.

I cant believe some of the crap you guys are saying on here. You look like a bunch of a*sholes claiming the tC can smoke everything and anything. Just because you have a 2.4l and is the most expensive scion (big wow there) doesn't mean anything.

ajnast4r has it pretty much right if you are talking stock vs stock. Although the integra gs i'd change to a yes. Give it up and quit acting like its the end of the world because you can't beat _____, tC is not fast, is top heavy, and the 2az isn't some great performance motor either.

 

I can somewhat agree with the rest.

 

Sorry Killer, I have to disagree with you. ajnast4r is not right. And I don't think anyone is saying the tC is ALMIGHTY. It's just that with the right driver, this list is misconstrued. I don't feel like correcting it either.

 

I would like to chime in here. I had a 5 spd Toyota Corolla not the XRS and beat an auto RSX and a auto Celica GT and just so you guys know those sweet Celica GTSs with the factory body kits weigh like 3800 pounds. I sold my Corolla to get a tC because it was faster (I race one and it be me pretty bad) and haven't been able to race much cause I broke my leg (only 3800 miles on tC) but I beat Acura TL and yes it was the 240 hp one and I launched like an idiot with ridiculous wheel spin. My point here is I know I can't beat a TL 98% of but that time I did. Whether the guy was a _____ or not I don't know but I know he followed me around some twisty roads at over 85 mph and took off hard when he saw me do the same so it was a race. p.s. I beat a Z06 in my Corolla hahahaha

 

Yeah, right driver as in you being the right driver and oh lets take your ep3 videos for example. Crappy ep3 driver, you a better driver, bam you win. Proves pretty much nothing when you look at it that way. Hey, i beat a viper today in my box. He was stopped, but he was in his car and the motor was running so it was a race, he just sucked at driving.

 

Riiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhttttt....

 

A friend of mine with a ep3 stage 2 clutch with i/h/e, pretty equal to your set up in terms of power mods has raced a friend of his with a tC i/h/full exhaust and short shifter, he beat him twice and lost once, i'd say thats pretty equal. Not to mention the countless videos online you can find of ep3's or older civics beating or coming very, very close to tC drivers. So "riiighhht" would be right.
