2004 G35 Sedan vs SCION tC Race Story and Question

[LAG35NBLACK]

Well guys just here to tell my story while coming to work this morning. So I am driving down this long main street to get to work right. As I slow do to the red light there is a Scion Tc already at the light with a dude about my age I am 24 by the way. Anyways I am minding my own business listening to Mos Def when he starts reving the engine. I am like man. So, I am ignoring the guy this whole time and then he lowers the window and puts his hands up like whats up. I didnt race the guy but dam I had the itch to do it. His Scion did look some what moded my question is now are these cars pretty fast has anyone taken one on? Good thing I ignored the guy about half a mile down there is a place that I know a bike cop hides, sure enough as I passed it up there he was. Good thing I didnt race that chump.

TC's are pretty slow, even with the s/c. I worked at toyota/scion dealership and we sponsered a couple show and race cars. One of them was a s/c TC.....we raced one day and my SVTF with very minor mods pulled on him from 25mph till about 143mph....at the end i had about a car and a half on him....never have been impressed with thos pos scions....

my '07x AT stock vs a superchardged one..... umm with a car headstart its like a retarded mule racing uphill verses a cheetah

The scion has a 2.4 litre engine with 161 hp, so it would be much slower than your G. They're only designed to look powerful-- the triumph of style and looks or substance! Unless he packed a turbo in there or something that powered it up, it's not much of a threat! Enjoy your ride and ignore the idiots.

One final thought, if you're not going to race, do it based on common sense and not only b/c there's a cop nearby.

If you really want to see how stupid people and their tCs are, check out this thread.

You would have wasted him, no problemo. He would have been holding his hands out the window like what's up at the end not to race, but wondering what just blew by him.
