What’s Faster: A Corvette Z06 Or A Scion TC?
The answer is, “it depends on how much development has been done to each car”. In the case of the time attack prepped Scion TC in this video, the answer is a boatload full of work. Details are somewhat lacking, but the car apparently dyno’d at 899 front wheel horsepower. Add a monster front wing for added grip in the corners, and you’ve got a Scion TC that can show taillights to a surprising number of other cars. The driver in the video was new to the Sebring track and was having brake problems, which explains his somewhat random choice of lines and braking points. Still, the soundtrack alone makes the video worth watching, and the TC’s disappearing act at 2:00 and again at 4:27 is nothing short of amazing. http://www.ridelust.com/whats-faster...or-a-scion-tc/ |

I don't think spending an obscene amount of research, time, and money to turn a car into something it's not is amazing. It just shows people how much money can be spent foolishly on a platform not originally designed for an intended purpose.
If I spent a fortune on turning my Camaro into a boat instead of just buying a boat to begin with would you be amazed, or amazed at my stupidity. |

Wow. That is one goofy looking Scion. Yes, it is fast, but in both instances on the high speed straights it looked really twitchy. Must be a handfull to drive. Like the old Can am cars with the absurdly high wings mounted high front and rear - it looks odd.
Thanks for sharing.

some cars are better platforms, an unreliable high boost 4 banger is not a good platform if I thought such a car was cool or amazing I might be a ricer, but I don't so I'm not |

add something to the discussion instead of hiding behind emoticons.  I'm assuming you respect turbo fwd ricers, that's cool if you do, I don't. |

On the contrary, that Scion is in fact the pinnacle of rice. Unfortunately, vehicles like that Scion gives kids deluded ideas that their mothers ( insert p.o.s. 4 banger of your choice ) can be made into a car on par with real sports cars. These kids grow up thinking losers that dump tens and in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars into inferior unreliable 4 bangers are cool. These kids inevitably turn into ricers that clutter our streets with an assortment of laughable bodykitted monstrosities. I for one will not stand in silence as the ridiculous notion that these cars are to be respected gets tossed around any longer. |

But that Scion was actually fast. Hence, not rice. Get it?
