It's the things like this that make the Instinct the biggest pile of garbage compared to the iPhone.

And nice find with the iTouch, I was about to buy one in the near future, but held off since I had a feeling they were going to change it up. No sense in them having the iPhone, which has more features, cost less than the iTouch.

doubt it. they wouldnt go backwards with the interface and it looks horribly photoshopped. Apple is notorious for keeping things under wraps until they want people to know

That looks to be just a photoshop of the current iPod Classic with an extended screen and some new fake UI on it.

good call.

and back on topic... I just took a 0-60 run a little bit ago and am pleased to say this app greatly helped me improve. I didn't do a full 1/4 mile run because of I was worried about cops but i lowered my 0-60 from 9.72 sec to 7.28 sec and my 1/8 mile time from 11.36 sec @ 66.6mph to 10.34 sec @ 74.2 mph. I am very happy with my purchase.

To anyone who though my above comments were too good to be true, you were pretty much right lol. Im pretty depressed at this point; I realized the phone was slightly moving within the cup holder thus boosting my results.... that realization pretty much hit me when it said I did the 1/4 mile at 124 mph

anyways I'm so annoyed because I put so much abuse on my engine with out improving at all, I did get my 0-60 down from the original 9.72 to 9.00 flat but really wtf!? How did the people who tested them for magazines like Car and Driver manage to do a ~7.4 sec 0-60 and a ~15.7 1/4 mile. I honestly don't know how I can launch my car harder or shift quicker, it feels like I'm doing everything right, but apparently not...

That's an OLD image, before the iPhone was even announced. I remember geeking out to it.

For you guys that have downloaded the app and tried it out, would you mind sending me a review that I can read on the next episode of the Scion Underground Podcast?

Or if you're REALLY gangsta, record yourself in an mp3 and send it to me at ScionUnderground@gmail.com!

Thanks!

Wheel hop? Tire spin?

Faster car?

Just throwing stuff out there.

I can't wait to buy the software, lol.

Trust me I know its bad to beat on the car and all. But look, I know how well the car can be driven, and I know how well I am driving the car, there is nothing wrong trying to get my abilities to a respectable level. And you can't learn without practice so...

lol yea, people complain about the tC so much and how it can't perform. And the truth is, out of the box, it does lack the performance that most drivers want. However so many people deny the fact that the tC has great potential, just needs a little work :-)

Your comments seem silly. I've beaten countless "sports cars" in various time attacks and other events, and many on this board have as well.

People get to caught up in status and labels. What makes a "sports car"? Dictionary.com says this: a small, high-powered automobile with long, low lines, usually seating two persons.

Sounds just like my tC.

Since it's raced in the Koni Challenge and NHRA, just like the tC, I'd say yes.

Even if it wasn't, any car can be made into a sports car with $$$
