alright haven't raced him yet but i keep hearing from around the plant that i work at that this guy has been talking all this **** about me and my car. he has been telling everyone that his 70 somthin transam could beat the **** out of my car. normally i wouldn't say anything but i know that my tc is faster because we ran behind each other on the road a month before and he tried to pull away from me and i was on his ass the whole time with little effort. so i went to him and said lets do this. so he responded with well i can't yet i have to wait till it's safe because i don't want my ex to break my car.

lol, you should race him somewhere with curves!! that'd REALLY piss him off! not that the tC has awesome handling, although it wouldn't take much to make it handle much better. either way man, good luck and i'm sure you'll make him wish he'd bought that penis pump!!

DNT LET A HONDA GUY RUN UR TC

Everyone is afraid of the tC. I have had a few cars pull up, but they did not follow through and want to race. I guess the whistle sound that my current intake makes has them believing I have a turbo.

I have a friend who drives an 1984 grand am and he says that he has a 302 under the hood but i do not believe that pontiac made a 302 for it so he must have done a lot on conversions to get it in there. anyway he wanted to race to see what my car had. so we ran from a 40 roll and from a dig. both times i won. the roll was funny cause he did not even come close. the dig he jump out in front real quick but i walked past him as soon as i came out of first gear.

yeah i've noticed that whistle from my intake too. i raced a guy sorta in a old souped up mustang. the reason i say sorta is because i passed him and he didn't like that to much so he decided to pass me on a double line and instead of down shifting and hitting it i just left it in fith gear because i didn't feel like him killing himself or worse yet someone else but he flagged me over and asked me if i had a turbo because he said he heard the whistle as i was passing him. i told him nope all motor and he had that shocked dumb look on his face.

I have a guy here at work that is always egging me on to go to the track with him to race. he drives a mustang gt. ya he can beat me but i am stock completely. He then stated that he would give me a 2 second head start and i agreed really quick, so he backed out of it. He always sits here and calls me ricer. ha ha he use to drive an srt-4, also drove a v6 camero with neon kit on it. He calls me ricer. Ha ha. Now he wont race me and he keeps backing out.

He probably shoehorned the Chevy 302 small block in there.

F-150 = I won
Silverado V8 = I won
Nova = I lost...bad
95 Mustang GT = I won
Eclipse GT = I won
SRT-4 = I lost
Camero SS = I lost
Celica = I won... best race yet

I can't wait to see what I can do when I hit my projected mark. Even though I have had my TRD out for some TLC upgrades, my tC still thinks she is boosted. It just goes to show how well these motors can run w/ I/H/E, bigger injectors, and LW crank pulley. I een have my Alt 20% over driven. Now that Jotech has pushed the envelope way up there (733WHP unconfirmed), expect much more from the Scion camp in the next year.
