Scion TC Turbo Vs. S2000
Scion TC Turbo Vs. S2000
For months i have seen hondaman2k posting a bunch of kills that i was skeptical about, but now i believe them. Last night i was coming home from GFs house when a stock (or at least i think it was stock) s2000 pulls up to me, downshifts to match my speed and stares me down hard. I look at him and ask him if he wants to run it, and he grins and nods. We downshift again to 2nd gear, match car speeds, honk 3 times and GO! The turbo lags owns me in 2nd gear while im spooling up and he manages to take about a car length lead, by 3rd gear i caught up to him, and by 4th gear i manage to pull away about 3/4 of a car length on him.The little bastard kept up to me better than alot of other cars such as 350zs and G35s. I was actually shocked at how the little 2.0L engine managed to hold it down. I never thought the s2000 was that quick, but now i have some new found respect for the car.
BTW thats with me running on 8psi, on a stock exhaust. Very close race!

how much whp do you make in that scion? A slightly modded s2k would've owned you good. Stock is still impressive if it kept up with you like that. Better driver and it might have been different.

have you run at the track yet?
It was a 2003 S2000, therefore the 2.0L engine. I havent dynoed yet, but my guess is im putting anywhere around 240-260 to the wheels. Pretty shitty... When i get the 3" exhaust, ill dyno and let you guys know what im putting down.

I seen a TC floored.. not too impressive got to tell you. Heavy car, thats why!
good cars though, get alot for your buck. If the scion TC was around when I got the civic I would take it over one anyday. I still take it over a 8th gen SI. TRD supercharger will be released this fall for them
