Scion = NEW CAR
T2 = OLD *** FREAKING CAR

Im sure that stock for stock if the T2 was BRAND NEW it would pwn the scion a little more, BUT thats not really possable, so.......yeah 2+2=?


EDIT: oh and as soon as i can afford it im gonna buy a TC for a DD because it would be nice to have a comfortable DD again but with more oomph than my previous accord. TC's are awesome cars, but FF is FF and FF is not my style of driving at all

SEVEN FEVER

take baby steps

upgrade your exhaust ... if you go with the racing beat you'll net about 40-50HP right there alone , due to the increase in boost you'll see

these cars are quick after you put an exhaust and intake on them .. deleting emissions helps too ...
once you do intake and exhaust, you'll need something for fuel cut.
rtek ecu and some 720's and you'll be VERY happy with your setup

my car is pretty quick ... and its not tooo crazy far from stock .. peep my sig

this shouldnt have been a challenge for you, it could've been a couple things though. Badly tuned/built, traction, or even driver but i dont think its the driver. Hows your car running? does it bog down or hesitate at all?

Car runs alright for daily driving but as far as performance goes it's ready for a rebuild that should be getting done somewhere in the next month.

I started in second, I was stating that after going until the top of 4th(5or 6k in 4th gear) that I wasn't pulling away from him any.
