    Hey guys, posting an update on the new car. This little article about got pretty good press last week. These were taken less than a week ago, and the article was written last week as well.

    I also took first place in my class (6th generation Z) at the Midwest Heritage Z Fest this past Saturday, which was my first "official" show with the car.

    I hope everyone enjoys it as much as me! I will never forget my TC roots.

    Thanx!

    I couldn't have gotten to this point without owning the TC first and without your help.

    Just glad to help and to get the truth about how things really work passed on to the next generation of gear heads, tuners, modders, and crazy arse hot rodders. :)

    Well, that's why I liked this forum over the rest of the Scion forums. If everyone had the same attitude you do, the world would be a better place in the mod world! LOL.

    I bet!! My next car will be a RWD. If the FR-S actually makes it into production some time in the near future and indeed is RWD, I may pic one up. That boxster motor should have a lot of potential.

    Wow, that thing is pretty cool. I just looked it up. If that goes into production, I might also pick one up.

    However, that won't stop me from going FI (twin turbo) on the Z, which is already pushing 380 HP LOL.

    Yeah, but that is to two wheels. My tC has 217WHP to one wheel so if I factor in the other...let me see... x = y(2) divide by the speed of light and multiplied by the cotangent of the hypotenuse of a quadratic equation minus the speed of a Postal worker being chased by a rabid dog....the following equation is derived: 217 x 2 = 424WHP So you see, just by some simple Al Gore math (Father of Fuzzylogic), I have deduced that my tC beats your Nismo 370Z monster. Well.....I think. I might just be wrong on this. :)

    I rebut by going back to a statement you once told me... something about a... "butt dyno".

    All I can tell you is this this give me the "holy $&%@" factor and wants to go, go, go with very, and I mean VERY little effort.

    Not sure if a butt dyno can be used to prove anything prolific, but so far it's working for me because I can't stop smiling.

    ***WARNING***WITTY RETORT AHEAD***

    Well, I can tell you medically if the nerve connects from the butt dyno to the ear-grin muscle group, it is legit. I should know. I am no Doctor but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express. :)

    Thanx a lot man. I appreciate it. Makes all the hard work and patience worth while.

    Thanx to my sponsors too man. Couldn't have done it without them. Everyone is just stoked to work on a Nismo 370 because nobody's modding them heavily really.
