Default Who'd win in this xB vs. tC race? Plus " I NEED HELP!&q

Race #1: Manual xB with Header / Injen Intake / Strup Exhaust
vs.
Automatic tC with Header / Injen Intake / TRD Exhuast

[Both lowered by S-Techs]
-------------------------


I'll bet on the xB right? The tC's all glass roof isn't going to help. The tC is 500 pounds more. That's a big difference if they were that close in HP.

I have an Auto tC, with no power mods [TRD Exhuast does jack-____]. I wanted to get an intake + header + s-pipe combo. For all that money it won't get me moving THAT quicker. Everytime I see a BOX, I want it badly. Well ONLY White xB's which I'd be getting if I was to get one.

I want the BOXY LOOK, 30+ MPG, ROOM, and while OWNING SUCH AN IMPORTANT CAR The Scion xB changed/will change how cars will be shaped in future breeds of cars on roads. Haha, The Nissan Cube and Dodge Hornet.

I will miss the sportiness of the tC.... BUT HOW MANY OTHER CARS OFFER THAT!? Like 1209702174274?

The BOX is original. It will always be #1 on the box trend. Not the Chevrolet Astro! lol.

If you like the box, buy the box. Short of a turbo or supercharger the XB can't beat the TC (driven properly).

Even an auto... With most cars today the only advantage a manual has in a drag race is the launch. The auto can shift faster than most people and the weight difference between the TC auto and XB manual will not make up for the HP difference.

A tC would still beat an xB down a hill even if you push the xB off of a cliff.

although a tc would win if it were an automatic dont be ignorant the only advantage that a manual has over an auto-tragic is not the launch whyy dont you compare gear ratios and number of gears. I love how quick people are to bash other when they dont even know what the hell they are talkin about.
