Mustangs), they'll say "Well, if I put a turbo on my car and blah blah blah, OF COURSE I'd beat you"......there's never any middle ground with them. It's fun to listen to people talk though. haha, yeah, i LOVE the dumbestic guys who say "Theres no replacement for displacement".... ROFL...yeah, maybe in the 80s there wasn't dumbasses. While there is still no way to "replace" the advantages of a larger displacement engine, there are certainly alternatives (boosting, variable valve timing, volumetric efficiency, etc..) they to counter the turbo tc > 5.0 stang statement, they say, well, yeah, if you turbo a mustang it will kill a turbo tc. Well duh. But first off, the mustang's MSRP is more than the tc (even with a turbo kit installed). 2ndly, the POINT is, that boosting a 2.4L to beat a 5.0 is effectively removing the advantage of having a larger displacement engine. Obviously, the more displacement you start with, the greater power potential you have. But unlike the old days, when if you wanted 500hp, you needed a 7.0 Liter V8, today you can make 700whp on a 1.8L B series motor. The dumbestic guys always say, oh yeah, well if i boosted my vette, it would make 700whp too! Yeah, and if i built a stroker 2jz w/ single turbo it would smoke the boosted vette. it goes on and on. the issue is volumetric efficiency...which i may be wrong, but i think the tc > 5.0 stang in that category. Scion tc: Its essentially a 2 door Camry that spins up the tires quicker.....

Web Maryland, US THE SHADOW	Domestics will always compete against the imports no matter what.....it's just a losing battle and most of the time, it's pointless to even get involved b/c neither side will listen. Complaining is futile when you supported the victory. http://clubsciontc.com/fo...-rims--5x100-pattern.html

The SLK 320 jumped by about 4-5 feet (so about 3/4 of his car or so) and as I roled into first I heard him floor it. Fucker!.....by the time I engaged my "race" mode, his back bumper was at my front fender......hahaha.........it never left that point but my front bumper began to pull into his front passenger window and then I ran out of road.

Maybe you should mod your car. Some Cobalts are fast. I agree it looks like a Cavalier though.

Vicious Orlando Florida, US El Chupacabra	I've noticed alot of celica owners joining the forum recently. Other than the basic bolt-on parts maybe they could help you out with suggestions on making your celica faster but yes, some cobalts are pretty damn quick (Cobalt SS supercharged) The Thread Killah

JenWest New Jersey, US Scion Guru	this one was just a regular cobalt i was so pissed...and i give up on all the celica owners i ask hem questions and get no answers...thats why i stick to my tc boys

Vicious Orlando Florida, US El Chupacabra	try getting the usual bolt-ons first: intake, header, exhaust. then see how you do again The Thread Killah

Web Maryland, US THE SHADOW	I finally got a chance to re-race my friend's cobalt today . He beat me by only 3/4 of his car length as compared to 1.5 full lengths about 4 months ago. I got him by about 1 length on the start...I launched perfect and held it. He shifted early into 2nd and I got another .5 length but then when he hit 3rd, that S/C just pulled him up to me (Injen intake also) and at the 1/4 mark he was 3/4 in front of me. His brother's 98 SS Impala and I raced and I peeled too much in 1st and lost by 1 length. Pretty damn good for a 2.4L vs. a 5.7 Vette engine . We took videos so whenever my buddy uploads them, I'll get copies and post them. I have some driveby vids of my car and how it sounds now too...for those who are curious.
