Rabid_Lemming Cumming Georgia, US Scion Guru	My buddy with a SC tC and I wanted to see where we stood from each other what with me having a fairly mild tune. We did three pulls at 3 lights, from a dig to about 50. I won on all 3 pulls, but the funny thing is that on the last pull, I managed to blow my O2 sensor bung off my S-pipe. The rich tune and wide open throttle combined with the influx of air from my new exhaust speed hole, and blasted a 10~14 inch long, 4~6 inch diameter yellow flame out of my Borla Exhaust I mean I pop a small blue flame at times, but he said this looked like an after burner Oh, since this, I've had a new 02 bung welded on, and all is well with my baby. My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya.... Sometimes I haul more ass than a pimp driving a caddy full of hoes.

That's why there's black carbon around my exhaust tip. Scikotics NJ is sponsored by Lawrence Scion 2006 GReddy Turbocharged Automatic tC 220+ WHP - 14.044 @ 97.02 MPH

tCdriver08 Sidman Pennsylvania, US Detailer	So far i beat my friends cobalt, and i also beat some kid in a older si pretty bad. I did however lose one last night.... against my buddys 2007 si, i was ahead of him till about 80mph and he started to pull on me slowly. I dont think my car runs all that bad for just having the axle back....

Fire is fun. But i'm a pyro so its even more fun for me. I love it when i'll be rolling down the interstate and something with a real nice tune, its usually an RX-7(which rotary engines are known for their flames) comes flying past me on it hard and when they shift the foot long flames shoot out, someday i'll have a car that does that. My dad's friend has an RX-7 with a few goodies in it and I can remember being with him when I was little and he raced a corvette and with each shift the flames shot out as we steadily pulled on the vette. It was great. So I took an N/A cobalt SS the other day. A kid I go to school with was running his mouth so on my way up to hancock we had a little fun on the interstate. He can't shift to save his life which helped me some, but it was still fun

krdshrk New Brunswick New Jersey, US Godlike Advisor	I took a modded Cobalt SS Supercharged today. By a lot too. I shut down at 75mph and he was about 3 cars behind. Scikotics NJ is sponsored by Lawrence Scion 2006 GReddy Turbocharged Automatic tC 220+ WHP - 14.044 @ 97.02 MPH

iluvmyTypeS Master Mechanic	Thank God! it's been months and months and months since anyone's tried to race me! but tonight on my way home from work, i got lucky...not with one race, but 2! 1) it's about a good 20 minutes from work to home, and im tired from 16hrs of work, so im driving casually (as usual since i dont get the opportunities to race anymore, lol), when im sitting at this light and a lexus rx-350 pulls up to my right. this 20, 21 yr. old kid is grilling me and smurking (can't really see me though due to my tint) and im just thinking to myself, poor little kid probably thinks his car that daddy bought him is going to take me. i wasn't really looking to race(again, tired from work), then a second before the light turns green, he floors it to the next light. im like, ok cheater, its on now as im driving casually to meet him at the next light. so now im all ready and lined up... again, a second before the light turns green, he floors it! im thinking to myself, "lol you cheater, watch this." he crosses the intersection before light even turns green and i go (mild launch, no pt. in ruining my tires for this one) then floor it mid 1st, by mid 2nd pass him, by 3rd, still pulling and a good 3 cars ahead. then i hit the next light and he decides to stop 2 feet in front of the intersection, lol. im like, take all the lead you want buddy. however, again!! he leaves before the light turns green! i gun it (after light turned green), and again, by 2nd i pass him, then 3rd and he's still trying, so i take it to the end of 4th with a good block lead (im not even exagerating) on him @ 80mph. as i slow down just because it was over, he comes up next to me and still flooring it, and im like, silly rabbit, dont you know better than to mess with my 3rd gear pull? i downshift to 3rd, and need i say more.

iluvmyTypeS Master Mechanic	2) after that final race with the lexus rx-350, he runs the red light and im just sitting there chilling. when the light turns green, i hear tires screeching, and im like, wtf?? i look through driver side window and couldn't see shyt! im like, what happened to all the street lights? i cant see shyt! omg, is a bus going to hit me!?!?! so i start braking when i see that the car flooring it was a big ass black chevy silverado heavy duty pick-up, and the reason i couldnt see shit outta my window was because his truck is about 4x the size of my car so it was blocking my whole view, lol. im like hey, i know what truck that is (my cuz has the same one) so after he gets this insane lead on me (due to him flooring it, me normal take-off + braking because i thought i was going blind or getting hit by a bus) i floor it. 1st goes...catching up. 2nd goes, caught up. 3rd comes, and he goes. shift to 4th, and all over. all in all, i haven't driven my car that hard (even though it wasnt full potential as i was not powershifting) in about a good 5 months +. im glad i haven't lost my touch.

We had to stop cuz cars was in front on us. And at the very next light we got caught at it and i said on green im going for it. He srugged. Light turn turn i got on it, launch was ok but couldve been better. I heard his supercharger and sounded like he had an exhaust. He pulled maybe 3 cars on me. When we was goin ready to turn off he said " You knew you couldnt fuc* wit me right" I said "that's cool cuz you F.I and im stock but you didnt even beat me by much" He said he was stock but i didnt believe it. With enough work our cars can take a tuned one. IIght so i finally saw this guy again. And i was ready. I was runnin a few test run on the juice and i see this guy. He pulls over and waits for me and he asked me if i wanted to run, i said yup. Long story short we go from a 2nd gear roll. We both gassed it, my juice kicked in, i heard his supercharger screaming, by the end of 3 begining of 4th i must have had 2 cars on him.. So he asked what i had done. I said a few things (I dont tell ppl i race that i have nitrous) all in all. He was mad he lost to a tc A car is only as good as it's driver.

greddytc05 Hagerstown Maryland, US Vehicle Designer	i like to mess with people that haven't seen my car or know that its turbo yet. when they hear someone say that its quick they do the usual and ask me what i have done to it. so i just tell them that i've upgraded the intake and exhaust some...lol. 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.
