Because they look pretty freaking fast. I wonder why more people dont mod them.

take it on the track

 

Eh, I roll most of them besides the boosted ones. They're a little more difficult, but I can still pull on them.

 

What do you drive?

 

Almost anything is faster than a 96-98 Civic coupe haha, the newer base model corollas will beat any 96-00 Civic Coupe. i have a 99 civuc coupe so i know.

close this thread plz...

 

I dont think scions are that fast stock. He's racing a single cam vs. scion, im sure that civic is stock, i would like to see that against a dohc vtec civic or integra, i think it would be a different story. Scions can be fast when done up, I think kenny tran and his crew made 500hp scion.

 

I think scions are 160hp stock.

 

yeah 2008 model

* Engine: 2.4 L Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) 16-valve 4-cylinder with VVT-i, compression ratio of 9.6:1 for the 2005 and 2006 models and 9.8:1 for 2007-2009.
* Displacement: 2382 cc
* Power: 161 hp (120 kW) @ 6,000 rpm / 200 hp with TRD Supercharger

EDIT: So the TRD is as fast as a K20.

 

160hp scion vs civic 127hp if it is an ex. thats a big difference in power. I've seen b16 take them out, im sure a gsr would just smoke it.

 

What about a TRD? 200hp.

 

I would think thats a different story, i have to admit with that supercharger it has some *****, but then again a k20 makes 200hp stock, and a scion needs a superchager to get 200hp. I could say they have the same power, but it different when just talking about it and actually see them race.

 

You would think with that much hp you would see more people fixing up scions, I dont think ive seen a single one where I live. Must be because people think of teenage/college girls when you think of a TC.

 

LOL! Where do you live?

 

This thread is ridiculous. What is the point of it anyways?

 

So cal I meant I havent seen a modded TC I see TC's EVERYWHERE, but all stock.

 

friend of mine has a tc(a purple one, LOL!) with intake/header.. it is well disappointing.

to me.. TC's are chick cars, like 'farkiller' said..

 

slow

 

Imagine getting smoked by one (with a chick driving as well) lol how embarrassing.

 

I wouldnt call 200hp slow.

 

yeah, but 200hp in a little 97 civic is a lot different than 200hp in a scion.. power to weight.

dont get me wrong, they're nice cars.. and pretty quick when boosted.. but the majority of the people i see with scions are females, and the people who have them "fixed up" its primarily show and not go.

just my experience.

 

LOL! you said it! end of discussion!

 

compair that to the tons of teenagers who rice out their civics. Talking about show and no go.

 

yeah, scions were no contest for me when i had my b20vtec EM1. they're not fast enough for b series vtec. but i kept it on the track....don't street race.

 

Why are we even filming a race against one?

 

Yea Ive beaten n/a ones before with my b16, never tried racing a supercharged or turbocharged one.
