I think their suspension is built a little better than ours, so we might have trouble taking them on turns.

Paulz0r Naperville Illinois, US Tech Advisor	Yea i raced one of the new lancers with intake and exhaust (and it sounded like comeplete rasp, he kept revving at me so i decided what the hell..) and it wasnt even close really... from about 30 to 90 pulled quick on him and never looked back lol.

About a year ago, sometime last summer, i was doing about 75 on the highway going home from work and this little white turd of a car is pulling up behind me and then up beside me looking over as if to race. So i look over at the Geo Metro, yes Metro, and just bust out laughing and gun it to pull away, but to my amazement, even at 75 mph, that MF'er pulled away and handed me my ass, Not only did he beat me, i couldn't even catch up. It was definately more than just the 50 some HP 3 cylinder that it came with lol! I think the funniest sleeper story was de16 when he was laughing his ass off at the honda fit revving a him and then leaving him in the dust, courtesy of a k20a2 swap. You can't learn me nothin...

silver07tc Virginia, US Tech Advisor	its ok, 1/4 aint that bad, you said you started from a stop right? if so how bad did you spin, maybe a quick tire upgrade with suspension you'll stick with him/beat him

07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	You gotta watch that mad vtech in hondas. Altho they dont have low end torque, they do have power when they vtech does kick in. So dont be mad. Cuz Prelude's are pretty damn quick A car is only as good as it's driver.

Web Maryland, US THE SHADOW	07 Dodge Durango. He was at a light and leaning back so I could see his hand on the wheel and one eye pearing over at me. He pointed at the light to go so I said whatever. Light turned green and I held it to see if he really was going to go and he did. He got a jump on me of about 1 length and by the next light, which conveniently is just under 1/4 mile , I catch and pull on him by 1/2 length. He pulled up next to me and started talking to me. He liked the car and said, "I didn't expect that at all!" ..........ego boost! Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.** http://clubsciontc.com/fo...-rims--5x100-pattern.html

greddytc05 Hagerstown Maryland, US Vehicle Designer	just a quick story of a slaughter last thursday. after work at 2am myself and a couple friends wanted to go get something to eat. my one friend has a 96 mustang gt with some work done to it. all motor he runs mid to high 12's. as i was following him on the ramp to the interstate i looked over and noticed a 2000 body style gt going past us. my buddy went up beside him and slowed down and made himself known to the other mustang. lol. i was still behind my buddy when they both took off. my friend is a little faster than me on the highway but not by much. once i saw them step on the gas i hit the gas also. let me tell yeah, nothing is better than seeing the face of a mustang driver as he watches a tc pass by him like he is standing still. i don't know how far ahead i pulled because i was keeping an eye on my friend for when he let off the gas. all i know is after i slowed down i still had time to look in the rear veiw to see the other mustang come flying up on my a**. lol. i love putting mustangs in there place. Car is being put on hold until further notice. Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted. UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches. "warning: friends dont let friends learn to drive from watching the fast and furious." me BOUGHT,BUILT,PAYED FOR BY ME '05 BSP TC 5 Speed 255.13hp 286.34tq. 13.708@101.07mph. 60'-2.114 on street tires and stock clutch. More to come.

silver07tc Virginia, US Tech Advisor	Ok so around va beach there is a 2 door 95 civic rolling around, bright lime green with black rims. it has a fiberglass hood, with 2 huge front scoops, looks like a nose. Anyways tonight at work that civic comes in for a tire repair. so im looking at this car, and i see monster tack, boost gauge and some other gauge. he wouldnt prop the hood and i looked under the car, no intercooler piping or intercooler at all, all i saw was a header and a stock 2.25 inch exhaust. He finally told me it was all motor with a h22a engine vtec. Guy told me his car had more power then mine and i had no chance, told him, "hey might miss a gear" and he laughed and said i never miss a gear. So we fixed his car and my manager was like, why dont you two race so he finally agreed to it so we went at it. we stopped at a red light in front of thread quarters everyone at work standing out front in front of the road. light turns green we cruise at 10 mph, he guns it pulling ahead about a fender, i floor the peddle. I shift at alomst 6k rpm with a violent churp into 2nd. i start to pass him i shift into 3rd around 5 k rpm passing my work, civic shifts into 3rd and missed the gear, now remember he told me earlier he never missed a gear. so anyways i beat him, and everyone was surprised, even if he didnt miss it i think i would have taken him. now the scion has props at the shop.... i also drew a pic of what the civic looks like.

Darkit Marietta Georgia, US Window Washer	Hey this is a good one. My friend has always bragged about how fast and awesome his Lexus IS300(automatic) is, so I challenged him with my stock 2008 tC(standard). We settled on a rolling start and had an impartial starter on the side. When the race started, I think he almost had a heartattack when he saw me still right beside him. Heh, to make a long story short, I nosed him out and proudly mock him everyday for losing to a car with like 50 less horsepower. Yea I love this car!

Aviator213 Hagerstown Maryland, US Scion Guru	not much to brag about but my and my buddy were out in my tC last night just cruisin and this ford focus came up on us and he got even with us and started givin it a little trying to catch my eye so i naturally gave a little gas to let him know i was down. From what i could see he had exhaust and i think I heard an intake. So then all at once he decided to nail it and I downshifted from 4th into 3rd and by the time i was shifting into 4th i was about 1/2 car length ahead of him cause he got a good jump on me and I continued to pull after that. Its nothing special beating a focus but it was amusing because my friend had a Jason hockey mask on and rolled the window down and was yelling stuff at him and the guy in the focus had no one in the car with him. After we ran though i had a car in my lane that i got stuck behind and the focus got a ricer pass on us and then once i got around the car i stayed in the straight lane and the guy was in the turn lane. Well he decided he didnt want to turn and tried to cut me off but i pulled ahead of him before he could get over in front of me. He then continued to follow us around for around 15 minutes until I hit a spot where i could pull a u-turn and when he turned around behind us i nailed it and got way ahead of him and I saw him turn somewhere then and leave
