Scion TC bites the dust
Ok..so I had a friend come up from Virginia, one of my old Forester XT buddies who brought his daily driver beater 200 SX SE-R I rebuilt for him. All this car has is a new tune up, bumped timing, a short ram intake, new tires and 110,000 miles. We were out bedding in his new brake pads when we happened along a determined looking Vin Diesel style bad dude in his new Scion TC. Windows down, nasty music blaring and left arm pistoned out at 12 so hard it looked like he was benching his steering wheel. (why do people drive like this)....???
We pulled along side at a redlight (its 11:30PM) and I am riding shotgun and end up next to "Mr. Flex while you drive" in his TC. Now mind you the 200 SE-R has never been waxed ( is oxidized white) has a black hood and looks like the ubiquitous typical ricer terd. Mr. Diesel looks over and gruffs, smirks and throws us a rev. I laugh and point at him then straight ahead (building the tension
)
The light goes green and they both launch. "Mr. Beefcake" jumps out to a fender lead but once the SE-R catches it 100K breath (old lungs) it reels in the TC and squirts out a fender then a 1/2 car length lead. Only because my buddy held 3rd gear to 7500 (way too long on a 96) did it allow the TC to creep up to my door but once we shifted to 4th we pulled about a car length on "Arnold" and his TC.
Mr Olympia then slams on the brakes, as do we, to stop at the next red. Instead of lining up again like a true body builder, "Jesse The Body" busts a right turn into a desolate shopping center and races across it to do a u turn at the light on the other side.
Way to go tough guy..!!
Later that night my friend and I lined up the SE-R and my car. By 4th gear I had like 10 car lengths on him...
So I guess the TC is no match for the SE-R ( with two meat heads) and certainly not the 2.4.

Should be interesting once he gets that. If hes a good driver he should one though. Saw a turboed one here in Delaware At Cecil County (drapstrip) He was running constant 13.7's I was shocked lol But if he can't drive i'm sure you'll take him.

Way to go George.... I really need to get my ass out on the roads at night more often. I did see a VW of some sort fly by me the other night on the parkway.... but I had the gf in the car and got the dirty look when he flew by. GF > Ricer. Oh well. She's in South America for the next 18 days... so I'm thinking that it's time I go out for some nice joyrides.

Not to be offensive but u have any idea how hard it is to get traction on street tires on these cars? I have the traps for 12.9xxx but can only pull 13.7 due to traction...and im making waaaaaay more power than a gm kit will...ask gtp, fast, frazier lol
Either way nice races GTP...u rice hunter

awesome story, I love to hear about those TC's going down. That's all anyone drives here on Guam is those damn TC's. There's like a billion of them. And what's funny is, they just aren't all that fast. my ralliart is bone stock and I beat up on modded tC's like the school jock beating up on a nerd.
