outran a scion tc... wtf?
I'm sitting at a light here in knoxville, when a stock, brand new silver Tc pulls up next to me. (I've got an a/t, wheels, intake, and exhaust) I rev, he revs. Light turns green, we go. I figure he's gonna spank me. He overtakes me till about 35mph, at which point i pass him. He's still gunning it, i can hear/tell. I let off at about 60, after i top out 2nd gear, and i tap my brakes to let him know i'm lettin off, at this point i'm probably 2 lengths ahead of him. We take it back down to 40 and go again. I overtake him immeadiately, as this is my most powerful starting speed (top end of 2nd gear). Finally I turn and he goes past me.... How the fvck did I outrun a Tc?
Touch it... He won't bite, He'll just come at you pretty quick.

Rep Power: 0 .....why would i make up a story. I was surprised, that's why i was posting it. You don't think i know that a tC is faster than an EX?
I think he had an auto too..... do they make auto tc's? All I know is he looked pissed, and to the best of my knowledge he was full throttle.

I would like to see a m/t Civic Si run against a m/t tC, I think that would be a good race.

i had a clip of a silver EP3 vs silver tc. tc took it slightly from a dig and killed it on a roll once it got going after 80mph-+

an auto civic no way. you got maybe 100whp modded, the tc has at least 40whp on you if it was stick. Even if the tc was auto, its still making alot more hp.

Rep Power: 0 Well here was i think. My roomate has one had we race em some times.
His is stock and I have I h E drop high flow cat
Unless i take off very well i NOrmaly dont have him pull more than a car lenth on me......
Just the other nite we shifted into 4th and he barley had 1 car lenth on me....
Basically Its a drivers race between a stock tc and modded civic.....
But if i have a shitty lauch then its alll over.....
plus he shifts at 6500 so that extra rmp does help! WE have never race all through 4th though......

Rep Power: 338 you've got some odd stories man! if the tC was spaking new, he was probably breaking it in (NOT pushing the car) and wanted to see if break in speeds/driving style can match a Civic.

Rep Power: 0 he has had the car for about 1 year..... I willl only hang with him If i lauch it better than him..... I have driven it many times its only a little faster than mine....
Edmunds says a stock ex runs around 16.3 and a stock tc runs around a 15.7 15.8 were talking about half a sec on the quarter mile..... Its a drivers race between us..... Most of the times he beats me but i stay right by him....
Also he is stock and having a cold air intake highflow cat header and cat back exhaust does help out a little!!! If he mishifts or boggs it down when he lauches thats how i mean .....
What we need to do is race from a stop on the highway cause we have never raced all of fourth gear and he normally starts pulling some where in 3rd!

Rep Power: 0 stock vs. stock > Civic Si vs. tC > edge goes to the tC.
Ive seen only one race of these 2... the tC outlaunch him, and it was over. Thou, reading stats, seeing numbers, im giving the edge to the tC.

Rep Power: 266 i think i saw a similar story on atutomotiveforums.com under the honda section. someone search it see if you get it i looked and all i got is people ranting on cavaliers in a post about a civic vs a scion tc. anyway, i dont think they're that fast anyway.
