"power hungry"? hahaha give me a break
i have read a few threads, and let me say, u guys make me laugh. a lot of the members here are talking about how they love performance cars and stuff like that.
aggressive driving? your car makes less than 100 hp at the wheels!
dude. the xb is the farthest possible thing from sporty. seriously.
someone please explain the logic behind buying a scion for performance. flame me all u want i dont care im not comming back.
For tC's, manual is the only way to go. Why? Well, the gear ratios are way TOO high in an automatic for aggressive driving, on top of the fact it uses a power-robbing torque converter.
i know i drive an xB but i've only owned manuals except for the occasional winter beater in auto. i prefer manuals much more fun and sporty hands down!

basically, scions are useless unless u go FI and use very high amounts of boost. even then, the car will be equivelent to other stock cars, and the cost of the mods would exceed the cost of an equally fast unmodded car. so buying a scion is pointless if u want performance

Just another Hon-duh owner who wished they bought a tC.
Your comparing a 1.5L engine to a 2.4L engine. Also here is a fun fact for you. For the total out the door price of 19700 what other new car at that price can give you the performance of the trd sc scion tc..? The civic si puts out close to 200hp crank but torque is only 139lbs at the crank and comes in at mucho more $$$... Any info you have old wise crap talker would be appriciated!
Naw, why ban a poor missinformed soul that knows nothing of what he is talking about..? Go forth and school him and he will probably buy a tc haha. Also for less than the si you can get full tein coil overs and the tc supercharger, then your really kicking @ss and taking names all in a sexy, smooth little coupe.
Yep, a kid with very little knowledge of even the fact he is trying to argue. No, it isnt a sports car but bang for the buck is very tough to beat... and you missed the WHP by about 50 there buddy.
Again though, this kid is just tryin to start **** and has nothing to add to even back it. Ban the waste of air and time please.
145 from about a 100 dynos posted everywhere. I would guess the BHP is a little under-rated, 10-15% loss is more like it normally. But, then again, I seriously doubt your knowledge in any of this, and you act like a dorky 16 year old with no life (especially the "teh" thing... give me a break kiddy). Shew fly

The fact that you don't want to be on this forum after this thread is reason enough to get baned and locked. The comment just proves you had no other intention but to start $hit instead of what this forum is for, helping the community.
