Scion/TRD says with just a stock car, it's 200 at the engine with the supercharger. So 175-180whp is a good estimate.

That must mean that the S/C is more than 200 at the engine. Like 215.

yea maybe the s/c is underrated. if its 190-195whp, then 215 crank would be more accurate. but im not sure of the actual numbers.

Nah, the S/C from Scion is actually OVERrated. I always compare it to the Cobalt b/c it's numbers are UNDERrated. It dynos at 205 whp and ours is making somewhere close to or just under 200 at the crank. The design of our S/C isn't optimal for our engine and is limited in power potential. Flat, block mounted, S/Cs are optimal for power production with almost unlimited potential.

soooo....i just smoked a red rs.2 and i'm stoked...i was on my way back from the bank to the office when this dude with his hat tilted sideways runs up next to me revving his engine like he wanted to blow it by the end of the day...so he get's next to me and he asks me do you want to run...i ask myself, what kind of pussy asks someone if they want to run, if i want to show someone who's top dog i get next to them and take them from the beginning to the end, doesn't matter if i'm the only one racing...so, me looking like a nerd in my tie, look at this dude and say there's like a million cops here in downtown...i should just chill, but this guys looks like all talk...so f-it, i shift into 1st and get ready...i give a little rev to let him know i'm going as soon as the light turns green, it does and i'm gone, the guys was so busy revving me that when the light turned green he was busy spinning his tires and i was like 3 cars ahead of him...so of course like the nice guy that i am i asked him if he wanted to go again and he says hell yeah...so once again the light turns green and we both ended up burning rubber...anyways by third gear i would average about a car length ahead...he said he had a trd intake and exhaust, i told him as much as it hurts me to say this the parts trd makes for the tc suck...so i pulled over and let him take a look at my tc, cuz until then, all he saw were my taillights...

Did I tell you guys about my race against an srt-4? well anyways at the strip I was just chillin watching the races and an srt-4 dude comes up to me and asks if I wanted to race. I said sure since I was bored.. so after waiting like 30 minutes at the line we finally got to the staging area and then we got to the flagger. when the guy signaled I feathered the clutch from 1500 and beat him off the line I was pretty excited the first..5-8 seconds of the race cuz from 1st to 2nd I was still ahead of him. but once I shifted into third he started gaining FAST! and by 4th he was already 2 car lengths ahead of me. I wish I had turbo too. but the guy was cool

I was on my way back from home and I notice this Mustang following close to me.

As new traffic was merging from the right, this diphole tries to box me in while we were side by side, so I downshift to 4th moving quickly to 90mph and he's falling slowly behind. At the last minute he has no choice but to move behind me. I can see he's frustrated.

So I rev up to speed just to see if he'll follow and he's ready to try and pass me again.

Once again I downshift to 4th moving to 80mph and I get in the far right lane to see if he can pass me. I see my speedometer moving quickly to 100, then to 110 and he can't pass. I shift to fifth and let off the gas because we're coming up on traffic.

At the moment I shut down, he shifted to 3rd and zoomed past me but was coming up quick to another car's bumper. I'd already quit so I hit my brakes to avoid being dangerously cut off. He hits his brakes and we both safely end chase. We're back to 60mph in a 55 zone and I think he may think twice about chasing this 4 banger.


This is exactly what his car looked like. 96 v6

I love people that get Camaros/Firebirds/Mustangs with V6s and think they are race cars. Those are considered "muscle" cars and without a V8, they are just grocery getters.

Nice run though. Always fun to make others look like idiots in their POS vehicles they think are "da bomb!"

My girl and I were heading to Annapolis last night and I came up in a lane that merged to the right about 1500 feet ahead (a little over a 1/4 mile). Well, there was an older guy in an 02-06 Taurus V6 auto and when the light turned green, he gunned it!. haha......my gf laughed b/c she knew I was gonna and i did . I pulled hard in 1st with no peel, no peel in 2nd but a quick shift and solid catch...just all pull . By the time I got midway through 3rd I started walking. By mid 4th I had 1 car and into 5th I had about 2-3 cars from my back bumper .
