245/35R18 BFG KDW/2's around 31psi

Thanks, the launch 1st & 2nd is the toughest part after that the shifts are easy & the pedal stays where it belongs (the floor)

Default Scion TC getting bad rep why?

Why do people put down the TC so much. Almost every post I read on you tube is negative against the TC. I think this car has great potential and can be pretty quick. However in you tube almost every video the scion is getting its but kicked by other cars. I love my Tc and with the few mods I have done it moves pretty quick.

for starters, it's considered by most to be a chick car. plus, it's heavier than most cars it's size. that that has a lot to do with it. plus it's the new kid on the block.

stock for stock, civics are a little quicker, and if he has v-tec that's a plus for him too. tCs weigh more too. but with the power difference, you should catch him and pass him!
