2 things:

1. we own an STi and love it too

2. you may not be able to hear the STi OVER the sound of loud ___ tC...this is a race, not a competition of loud downpipes, exhausts, etc. the STi sounds mean...hell, we can hear him coming from a mile away....however, our dog can hear Kenny coming in the tC like 5 miles away!!

Default HMMM Interesting

To clear up any misconceptions:

Yes I was trying. The reason it isn't as loud is because

1. The vid is from inside my car vs. the first vid being from the scion.
2. The first vid is with the scion being on my left which is the direction the dump is facing.

My car has:
Drop-in filter
bellmouth 3" dp w/dump
walbro 255
PDX base tuning map (got through email) almost 19psi peak should be 300-310whp
First vid: Cobb stg2 base map at almost 18.5 psi peak should be 280-290whp
The power would be based on a fairly conservative dyno.

The zpi scion IS fast. Stock block/internals + good size turbo+alky injection+plus whatever support mods are done=a very fast scion.

here is a vid of me and a buddy running a 22psi evo (blew his motor during runs listen for the rod knocking right before the last run) when we were cobb stage 2.

http://media.putfile.com/2stg2stisevo8_22psi


If they make that scion much faster the next vids you will see will be a
blue 10r vs. zpi scion

Hope this clears some stuff up.

Personally, if I owned a scion I would be throwing down for one of zpi's turbo kits.
Enjoy your cars, but if you want to play around with the faster guys slap on one of these turbo kits and you will get similar results. $+a good motor = go fast

And Kenny is right I don't just let people win

This just in.. all our dyno pulls, videos and races are fake. I am the master of all things Adobe.. Photoshop, Premeir, etc.

If you want your scion to run 10's in the 1/4, send me the video.. I'll make it happen.

Well, that's not exactly true Munch. You didn't give retro props...you didn't even post in his thread as of my post right now. But that's ok, it's the thought that counts.

I don't believe the race. The STI is not at full throttle and you can tell from the video. Also, how about you race a STI that dose not belong to you guys and race someone you dont know..... .......THIS VIDEO IS A JOKE....... ....Oh and how about you race from the line and not a rolling start then lets see what happens.....

Why in the world would you post something like that? Did you actually read the thread? Since the tC will be smoking the 19" STREET tires thru 60 mph....the launch is not good as they ALREADY stated on street tires.

Now go to the track and hook up with slicks....it runs 12's. Hmmm, soounds like the joke is on you. Unless of course, they had the track change the speed trap and et for the home video.

However, I can see how you may doubt the actual OWNER of the sti, so make a run down to their shop and call them out. You can be in a video too. I think ZPI may be showing up to Gateway INT tracks in St. Louis....Your in Illinois, call them out.

I will never believe the video, no matter what anyone says. Take it to the track with someone you don't know is driving and then maybe........
