The car in the left lane looks like the Neon to me. And the car with the camera in it does have some tC looking tendencies, especially what looked like the second sunroof.

Last comment on the thread - I wonder if this is true:

man if that scion can take a 125 shot then ____, i might need to get me a scion and spary the hell out of it. what the vid dont show u is that the scion blew the motor a few days later racing a vette

OK I guess I'm wrong, you have me sold that the left lane car is a neon, but I'm not convinced that the right lane car is a tC.

yea the one on the left is definetly an SRT-4 or some sort of neon.

i dont know personally about the tC since i havent been in a lot but its possible it could be.

i cant believe though a stock one could handle twice as much power to the engine as before. it would explode i think

Depends if the TRD Supercharger is 200hp at the wheels or at the crank, if it was at the wheels, I'd say it'll give the SRT-4 a run for it's money. If at the crank, it'll probably be as fast as a GTI.

The guy from scionzone said someone from TRD stated that the SC should give it a 60-80hp increase at the flywheel, putting it to 220-240hp. Assuming 15% drivetrain loss, It would be about 187-204 whp, although most dynos on manual stock tC's put it at about a 12.5% drivetrain loss, meaning the SC will put it at 192-210 whp.

Since the SRT weighs in at about 2970lbs with 230 crank hp(approx. 195-200 whp), it should all come down to the driver.

the gear ratio would have something to do with it too, does anyone know what it is for these 2 cars?

A BUNCH of knowledgeable people on SRT forums claim that stock their cars get damn close to 230whp, don't know how that's possible, but it's the word on the street.

dodge states 230 horsepower on their srt-4 spec page, I assumed it was crank. Quite possible that they listed whp, but I have never known a car company to do that...hmm...

did some reading and you are right, it seems 215-230whp is the commonplace. A header and a cat-back exhaust should get you there, all for around the same price as a base srt-4 with all the options of the tC

It's a tC... The interior is a custom job, my guess is it's a light colored leather (tan, creme, taupe, white, grey?) The headliner matches my tC's perfectly.
Well If you look at the headrest and look at the seats in the video they match, The material Scion Used for the headrest and seats may reflect tanish in the nightshot mode, Just a guess though... But that is a tC


Plus* Look at the safety belt it looks tan aswell..... So that would be some real custom work...
