Thank you for posting that. There is your goal. After seeing rhythm's videos against the STI's and such, I'm sure its a possibility. Furthermore you have far less to lose in terms of "respect."
"Hey guys, I beat a turbo 4 cylinder in my top-of-the-line-gas-guzzling-overpriced-4-door-blasphemous-dodge-charger!" Not that impressive.
"Hey guys I just beat Dodge Charger SRT-8 in my turbo-4-cylinder-cheaper-in-price-better-gas-mileage-getting-sleeper-like-scion tC!" Thats something to write home about. You know?

You should beat him or at least be really close. I know a few people that have srt8s cuz I'm in a srt club. My buddies only runs low-mid 13s and its stock.

even if he comes in under a second later, the SRT-8 lost a lot of respect with his friends. And tC's gained some for haning with him.


Of course if you beat him, everythingx2, Charger walks home with his tail between his legs, prolly leave from the other end of the track.

^^^Thats right, you have everything to win and nothing to lose.

(if the Stage 1.5 (with clutch, flywheel, exhaust and a good tune) is not enough, you can always add the internals with Port and Polish the Head and fly to heaven

from a roll the charger doesn't stand a chance... power to weight ratio and extremely short gearing are all in the TCs corner. Why this is even up for debate is beyone me??? Even if you take the Charger's Power/Weight ratio utiltizing CRANK HP and the TCs Power/Weight ratio utilizing WHEEL HP the TC still has a better power to weight ratio.... And quite frankly thats all that matters ESPECIALLY with our short gearing

Thats all that matters unlessing you're carrying three really fat chicks when you race

90% driver
10% car

If he can drive better than you, he has a good chance of winning.

good luck.
