Thumbs up A pair of Gen2 tCs at a show

I went to the Richmond Toyota/Scion show...

http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=192248570822471











This car redefines all show and no go…it doesn’t even have an exhaust pipe!



I took home the 2nd best tC trophy…I was the 1st looser!

they should make that red one of the factory colors for the tc2. looks awesome!! and yes putting that kit into production would make lots of money. but im just not big on the front bumper/grill

and that spoiler lip looks pretty good. i wonder how it would look on a stock tc2

I always thought the images I saw were renderings. Cool that it actually exists, even though it doesn't look real in the first pic (at first glance)... I think it's the scale of the honey comb grill that throws me off. Anyway I love it, and you're car's looking good too - congrats!

oh, it definitely does exist. Ted and I saw it in person at the NYIAS two year back when they unveiled the tC2.

bloodshot is one awesome color.

Why all the commotion about the 5-Axis car – a static toy? It’s not even drivable. Without the exhaust, you would die from the carbon-monoxide poisoning. The Gen2 tC as delivered from the manufacturer under-steers and with the staggered tires, it would be even worse! Those wide tires in the front would rub at the smallest steering angle and you couldn’t drive over any bumps or driveways…it is so low. I don’t want a car just to look at! That would be like having a trophy wife you can’t even have $ex with…what’s the point? I want a car I can drive hard and I want a wife I can phü©k! What? Am I with a bunch ballers of all show and no go?

the Titanium iQ was there as well, on loan from 5:A.

Congrats on the win! It was fun for me to help judge this time around instead of being an entrant. After finally seeing a tC2 in person, I really like 'em. I think more so than Gen 1.

I say raise that sonbish up a couple inches (on coilovers or airbags), got a friend that made a side exhaust with 2.5" pipes, a flowmaster super 44, and a dual dc exhaust tip. I can get different rims, and like I said mass-produce a
practical body kit meaning it may look the same with just slightly different
proportions for the street. All that you stated that was wrong with the 5:axis
car can be modified so it will be functional. Than you can be with your trophy
wife!!!! It's really no different from what all of us are doing to our car,
modifying it and making it our own. I just personally like the bloodshot tc it looks fast standing still. Add a turbo and you would have one amazing car.

the FIVE AXIS tC actualy drives and handles great.
IMO this tC is the best built showcar I have ever seen in person.
It is only a trailer queen because it is a display car...why risk doing any damage to something that needs to be around to push the brand for a long time?
