ok first i donno if this is in the right section, feel free to move if u must...

Ok so i was on the Taconic state parkway, and i was crusing at like 65 mph, and a purple tc came on the highway, so i sped up to catch up to him because i have always weanted to race one, and when i pulled up next to him i downshifted into 3rd just to give him a little bait.. he didnt take it right there, but he did maybe a 1\4 mile later, he flew past me.. so i caught up to him and on a nice straigh part where there wasnt any traffic i pulled up next to him... we looked at eachother and i down shifted into 3rd at like 60 mph.. we were dead even all the way through 3rd and when i shifted into 4th i pulled like 1\2 a car on him.. and than i hit limited and he passed me.. i was so dissapointed, i would have beat him.. stupid LS limiter :-( but it was fun...!

ah nice race... try from a dig next time (i know you couldnt this time because you were on a highway, but the scions weight will slow them down)..

this should be in "war stories" though - no worries

Good job, I have been wanting to race a Scion Tc also but havent got the chance. I have a magnaflow catback, and getting a DC strut bar in a couple weeks, and for christmas my girlfriend is getting me an injen CAI. do you think an auto 2.2 will beat a Scion Tc with the mods that im going to get? or how about with just a magnaflow catback?

the cat will only add around 5hp wont make too much of a difference

Hey whats up bro...I am from Poughkeepsie Ny >> I wouldent race in on the taconic bro its very dangerouse! Anywayz we should chill sometime. My 2.2 is in the shop right now after I got rear ended but...I am gettin the SS/SC bumper so i cant wait to see how it looks.... Peace

Nickc84

Also Scions are slow I beat like 3 of em already---And I have no Speed Limiter on my 2.2 2sb

SilverBalt

how do u not have a speed limiter.... yo, i raced hime right before the poughkeepsie exit, kinda straight.. and i know that road like the back of my hand i drove it every day for 2 years going to boces

Nickc84

Oh Yeah >> near the Pk exit its pretty strait for a few miles.... The 2.2 Sport packages dont have speed limiters. I maxed out at 135-140 on the NYS Throughway. I want to get a ECU tune and add 30HP. 150-160 to the wheels


I had 20% tint and was pulled over like 5 times and had to go to the town of lagrange court. Its not worth having it i guess

lol, I thought You were in a SS. Good somewhat kill. An SS woulda smoked it!

Nickc84

you mean a ss/sc? The ss n/a Could to but the ss.n/a and the scion both have 2.4 and remember silver balt 2.2 has mods .... Overall I think a 2.4 ss could spank a scion with more torque and a SS/SC would rape the TRD Scion...\second thought the 2.4 can probalby rape the TRD Scion also

Street racing is for dumbasses......take it to the track before you kill someone.

Not all 2.2 Sport Packages are the same. I have an '05 with a sport package that oddly enough has the 15: rims so it's is limited at 105 or 107 mph. The one's with 16's are supposed to be limited at 130 mph b/c of the H-rated tires.

i love racing scions. I always smoke them.

SilverBalt

shut up and dont talk **** to me on my thread...

yeah i dhave the stupid 15 inch wheels on my car, and since its those stupid h rated or what ever, its limited at 108, eventually i think when i get a decenmt amount of power and some bigger wheels, better suspension, and bigger brakes i might get the limiter taken off.. but than again, 108 is pretty damn fast anyway, i have only gone that fast about 3 times, and the 3rd was the other night..

If you post about street racing get ready to get dragged across the coals,you know what they say about opinions and ******** so no need for me to.

SilverBalt

yeah, but im sure EVERYONE on this site has raced some one on the street at one point

ive raced a scion on the track b4 even with me getting a bad start i still ended up catching back up and passing him....go to streetfire.net and do a search for *************** look for 05sedan

Never have street raced, never been in a race period. I've been 'challanged' to a race before by some guy in a car I have no idea what it even was. I just kept driving normaly and turned right a few blocks before I really needed to. I bought my SS/SC to be a normal car that simply replaced my 04 Cavalier that I was bored with.

There have been alot of teens who have been killed in street races since January in my state, let alone the U.S. Don't let it happen to you.

i dont make it a habbit, i have had my car for about 6 months now, and other than controlled fun with my friends this is the first time something like this one has happened and i dont make it a habbit because i dont need a ticket for 108 because #1 i like driving and #2 im scared of my parents lol because they tell me that even though im 18 and i pay for everything.. the car the insurance that they can take it away.. not fair

theandies

Tell me that when you or someone else ends up in the hospital. TAKE IT TO THE TRACK IDIOT. I don't care how "safe" you think you are. Public streets are not there for you to do whatever you think.

SilverBalt

bah.. what ever i never do this **** ive done it once and if i do it again im not posting lol i hope to be going to the track before i go back to school on the 28th. i really want a 1\4 mile time and i wanna make a few passes against my friends cars
