since they are competition cars, 60-0 braking is not a primary concern. im willing to wager non of those tc have abs either as evident of the rockstar car locking rear tires under braking. another thing i noticed is that they have more of a brake bias towards the rear. food for thought.

both of them run dual calipers on the rear, one big caliper for the regular brakes and a smaller one for the hand brake.

ack... you've got a point there... both tC's obviously highly modified.
With that much power under the hood... they COULD drift the GT-R. Hell there's a vid of Ken Block in the subbie before he went with Ford this season. They kept that puppy AWD and he drifted that WRX-STi no problem.

AWD.... check this... watch it then tell me you cant drift a GT-R... LOL

true... but I'm still willing to bet that someone with drifting skills like those in the tCs or Ken in the subbie could drift the GT-R.
Granted those are purpose built cars...but the GT-R isn't exactly a Pinto when it comes to performance. lol

^^uhm yea i think so, it was the part before it where he took it to the track. He actually hurt his neck from g's that it pulled in the corner. He got it pretty sideways a few times but dont think it will ever drift like those cars.

The drifting tC's dont have ABS, hence the terrible braking times.

Ken Gushi's daily driver is the white tC and Foust's is the xB, Or they could just be their company cars.

That car also doesn't weigh as much as the moon, like the GT-R.

^ Yeah but if they HEAVILY modified the GT-R which is basically what they do to the scion's to make them drift cars, the GT-R could easily do what the scion drift cars were built to do...
