Default Scion TC

So..yesturday afternoon me and my buddy aredriving down the road back towards my place.. and this white and black Scion pulls up next to me..

I don't htink anything of it cause I'm normally like "lol rice burner" even in my littel v6..

Not to mention..this guys like..60 ..straight looked like a cross between Indiana Jones and Freddy Kruger..

We get to the light and he revs.. and i'm like "alright, lets embarass the old man.."

I haul *** at the green light.. and I see I've got a lead on him..well, 3rd gear hits..and hes right next to me, and by the time I'm at 85mph..hes infront of me..

I hit about..100 or so and hes still infront of me..

We finally get to the stop sign to turn to my house and I had to ask after this scion just ate me alive...

"hey man..what are you running?"

As hes taking off I heard "i'm supercharged!" ...

My stereo being low and my window being down...I hear a winding sound..

All I have to say is.. ouch >_< and... i want.. =D

The TC is the better lookin of the 3 cars by Scion. By far they will not take a stock v6 mustang...i will vouche for that. A modified one will run pretty decent. Watch out tho....they do have turbo kits for them that do get down!!! We did a turbo install on one that came in making 156ish whp, then made over 300whp when it left the shop! Over all mod for mod the mustang wins.....meaning supercharge your v6 and go run him again...you will smoke him.

Well cuban..

Exhaust next weekend.. (just those flows)

Then i'm going gears/pausi (that'll be in like..2 months after the 24th of nov.)

Then I'm saving for a XCal and Nitrous..

Figure in 2 years once I takeover my payments I'll trade it in for a down on a cobra or something.. so i can just take my nitrous out of it and stuff.. and save it for whatever i get... or sell it ;p

i think its funny you all are like "i can take a stock scion." its a supercharged scion... yes, its a TRD supercharger, but its not REALLY stock. thats like dropping a terminator in a 6banger body and calling it stock (a bit more extreme, but still)

what kind of scion was it? TC (car), XB (box on wheels), or whatever the other things are

im just glad that he raced him instead of a bunch of people on this forumn that post in here like "would i beat him? im not sure? give me an idea!"

jeebus...just f***** race him already and stop asking stupid questions! does it really hurt anyones pride to lose to a car thats faster then urs? tell the guy "good race, nice car" and go take money from some scrubs in civics

It was a TC ...as far as the supercharger, I'm not sure.

He wasn't stock I know for sure.. I heard the exhaust and everything but.. every 4 banger in my town has an exhaust..

But the bone stock TC (no supercharger or anything) I can beat. I've raced one and beat it.

Honestly..I'll race just about anything that pulls up next to me and wants to race.. aside from like.. the for sure waste of gas like.. The SS Camaro or the Evolution thats pulled next to me...

I don't like coming back and asking if it can beat me..I'd rather find it out just running the guy..

...wow....Lost to a Scion Tc. I'm not sure wether to say the V6 is slow or the Scion for only beating a V6 mustang by 1 car length. I remember my V6 days... I say save up all your money, don't use it on that V6, and buy a V8. Well worht it.

If you can buy the car brand new with it installed then I would classify that stock.
