You know the way I see it, people bought the Scions (Any of them) bought them as tuner cars (just like they were advertised) because they don't know how to hook up a normal car....


























LOL april fools... I guess

I agree with the other poster. You have to articulate what your saying more clearly because no one can understand what your trying to imply. Either that or please proof read what you type before you post.

You talked about the guy who posted the 15.8 1/4 as a unbelieveable time and as an example as a good driver.

You said "but a manual civic with a good driver wont be a drivers race against a tC." Shouldn't you mean a average driver in a manual civic wouldn't be a drivers race against a TC .


People are not saying that the civic will beat the TC everytime, but its not outragous to believe a civic beat a TC under certain conditions. Besides, the original guy that beat the TC wasn't even stock, so it wasn't even stock vs stock. The guy in the ex had engine mods and the guy with the TC had chrome wheels on.


Most people will stipulate that stock vs stock and given the same drivers the TC driver will win. Most people are trying to say that both cars are in a closer enough range to be a drivers race.
