You will not win.
Period.
But he paid $10,000 more for his car. So you're ok.

BEST OF LUCK TO YA THO
front wheel drive is goin to be a BIG factor in this .. ur best bet is from a 20 roll keep it in second if ur manual .. then change gear at 6200 .. its goin to come REALLY quick so watch ur RPM .. then continue from there

Get boosted, then you might have a chance.
The fact that a Scion tC boosted, equates to about the equal power of a stock RX-8 is kind fo a testament to that.
But comparing the two for competition is kind of silly.
It's like us challening a Kia Spectra to a race and bragging about kicking his ass.Cornering Junkie

You don't have to feel down about it I mean just look at the numbers
Scion tC MSRP: $17,000
Mazda RX-8 Track Model MSRP: $32,000
The beauty is you can spend roughly 5k more and be on par with him, and you'll still have spent significantly less than him.Cornering Junkie

Any amount of tuning can do, but its just dealing and accepting the cars limitations.
RX-8's, S2000, STi, LanEvo, etc were all built on the premise of racing and performance tradition, it's not surprise they are in a different class altogether, (price wise too)
I had a WRX for many years, so I know, when I say, you gotta live with the limitations of your tC.
Doesn't matter to me, this car still has tons of potential and is a gripload of fun.Cornering Junkie

Yeah i really don't expect to beat him. Also I dont think Im gonna pick a race with a STI or EVO anytime soon. Its that he is always talkin ish. If my plan goes through my tC is just going to be my everyday driver. I'm trying to find a cheap 350Z to turbo and race....
But I love the tCBoost!
