Default Why???

I don't if I'm the first toask this but.
Why do Ricers and muscle car owners hate the tC, especially FI'd tCs? They even hate the turbo xBs...

Does it have anything to do with it being the #1 ___ peepz sports compact

Or maybe because muscle cars and ricer owners hate tCs/ sport Toyotas because they lose a lot when they race.

My neighbor has a new Charger 8banger AT and kept laughing at me (from far away) when he saw me working with the tC when I installed my clutch, or even the rollas...

One night I got side by side on him revving the magnaflow I launched it with little wheel spin and left witg 3-5 lengths beggining at launch... (he even used manual shift and floored it at launch.)

the next day he told that tCs are fast and said that he got beaten by 2 tuned white and flint tCs too...

Eh, I love my tC, but let's not blow it out of proportion here. It's a fun, sporty car for sure... but it's no powerhouse. You can beat your fair share of ricers and a small portion of muscle cars, but when you get to the middle/upper meat of both, there're a lot of cars built to outperform us.

'Course, they also had to heavily outPAY us as well.

I don' t know exactly how I got that green daytona charger...

I only have a STS, GFI dr. I stage3 w/ TRD filter & a tornado I found at a parking lot under my 9-2 and a comp stage4 clutch my friends recently installed...

The only possibility I won is because his 22"s spin for 3-4 secs. when he floors it.

I already am going 45 before he gets grip.

On my dad's 300, the wheels chirp for a sec. then the traction control kicks in and the car takes off. Something is not right here.

It all has to do with you always notice complaints against the car you own. You can search the ScionLife forums and find every other car known by man talked bad about.

You can search an SRT-4 website and find every car known to man talked bad about.

But the only ones you will notice are the posts against the car you own.
Very few people can ever admit that something they own is inferior to something someone else owns. Eveyone will always think they made the best decision.
