Funny Scion XB Vs GSR

Lychus · #1 05-28-2005, 12:18 AM

So im cruising home from a long day of work when i notice a black scion xb, completely stock looking, speeding ahead of me but staying close infront. I think nothing of it.. i mean it is a scion. Then he changes lanes and puts his hazards, curious as to why he did that i caught up and looked at him. He smiles and floors it, i laughed for a minute and then downshifted to third and caught right up. I had to let off the gas so i wouldnt pass him, which was really funny. I would floor it and then i'd pull, then left off and watch him catch up, then floor it and pull... you get the idea. Then i just laughed and gunned it till about 90ish and i was so far ahead i really couldnt calculate the distance of cars between us. At the light he pulls up and makes some suggestions that his scion was actually keeping up with me. I laughed cause there was a girl in the passangers side (his girl maybe? How embarresing) I can imagine all the BS he must have told her so he didnt look like too much of a fool. LOL!!!!

dont those scions make as much hp as a stock SOHC ED Civic DX or something? lol

Lychus · #3 05-28-2005, 05:41 PM

not sure, i think i saw once in one of my magazines that it had about 80 horsepower to the wheels or something. Civic Ex/DXs are slow as hell too. But a civics a civic and i'd much rather have a honda than a scion(toyota). You could still make that dx faster than an xb. Plus it wont look like a clown car eitherway

hahahah, scions... what a joke. I love the commericals of the guys that are like "yeah, i love to customize my scion... i got a carbon fiber hood and a cold air intake...." Always good for a laugh.

A Corolla will cost roughly the same.

And yeah, the xb does have as much hp as a civic dx, except, I think the dx weighs a bit more and has taller gearing. Pretty sad. A guy with a GSR, which isn't a fast car, at all(no offence) can easily kill a scion xb, whereas I would be afraid to lose if I had my dx. It's so slow. I have even lost interest in modifying it. There is no use.:/

LMFAO holy shit i think i cried from laughter when i read your post. I too saw the commercials. "so i dropped a turbo and blah blah bla" that ups the power to like 160 to the wheels.. lol.

you're whole comment on a gsr not being fast i think was influenced by my previous comment on slow civic Dxs. LOl sorry dude. No offense? Dont worry none taken. Not fast? LoL The only faster hondas are the Rsx Type S and the Integra Type R. And they arent faster by much. Maybe a lude with h22s.

CivicSpoon · #9 05-31-2005, 11:15 PM

Bunch of haters in here. I'm assuming you guys are talking about the commercial with the Tc commercial when the guy talks about having a "turbo timer and boost gauge" or whatever. Well I personally don't think they are anything to laugh at (well the XA and XB sure), but the Tc comes stock with 160hp. It'd be like other people laughing at '99-'00 Si's with a turbo kit...think about it.

I never heard your comment about a dx being slow, which it is, but for you to be cocky enough to call a gsr fast is just ignorance. If you read my post again, you will see what I am getting at. I was saying that a pretty slow gsr can beat a car my dx can't even beat, because it is so slow.

Come on, a gsr runs what? Low 15 second 1/4 mile(reguardless of the stock 14 second wonders which aren't in existance).

And the two cars you mentioned, the ITR and RSX aren't fast, either. Saying your car is one of the fastest production hondas isn't really saying much, considering their fastest is a $90,000 nsx which can't break past 13's, stock. Oh, yeah, you also forgot to mention the Accord V6, S2K and NSX, which are all faser than the gsr. And non of them are that fast, either.

When I was saying no offence, I meant no offence. But since you couldn't comprehend what I was saying and you balantly try to defend your gsr agianst no verbal threat, I had to go an explain myself in a way that now makes it look like I am bashing the GSR, which in turn, will make me get pmed by the mod.

Well, the difference between a 160hp civic si and a 160hp is simple. The TC is a boat. It has sport compact horsepower, but small family sedan weight.

bro im just joking with you. LOL You cant talk shit about hondas when u own one. Its not my fault you bought a DX.

I disagree with that. It only weighs a little over 100lbs more than the new Si's and has 30 more tq than the Si. So the new Si is a boat too? But compared to the '99-'00 Si's then yeah the 300lbs extra on the Tc would kill it, but it's still got a 50tq advantage on it which would help it out a little.

V T E C H · #15 06-01-2005, 07:10 PM

does the Scion Tc even come with a mannual tranny? because i have yet to see one with a 5 speed in it. But the fact that the TC comes with 160 hp from a super charged engine makes me sad that that was the amount of hp they pumped out from a supercharged engine....
