Celica GT-S vs. Scion tC *VIDEO*

Vip09 · #1 10-03-2005, 02:07 AM

I've been away from AF for a few months now.. thought I'd come back with a kill story/vid. At the time of the vid, I had an ebay intake and tpr exhaust. I also had two passengers in my car and a full tank of gas... so as expected my car was running extremely slow. Guy in a tC tries to do a flyby but doesn't succeed.

Good to see back here again. Funny vid. I've wanted to take a stab at a few TC's myself. But I've yet to come across one that wants to race. Anyway, welcome back.

HA! TC's don't look that fast...i'll have to find out for myself though, good stomping!

It's so damn hot... Ricer flyby was a bad choice

I love those Tc's but people around here are making me despise them more and more. Of course a guy at my school has to go to 6k in first around the parking lot. He even told people the tc stands for turbocharged.

he is an insult to all tC ownerz. >.< i will admit even w/ the torque. its still WAY too heavy of a car for what it is. and top end isnt too great =/

its apparently a lil heavy, but it can be nicely customized, as long as you don't make your own im better than you atittude

Nice race by the way...good kill, just wish I could have raced you in my RSX

You can win, you can do this. I have been waiting a long time for this. haha. good kill.

Kamilpl3 · #11 10-07-2005, 08:36 AM

I always thought the tC was a bit faster than that...

: but oh well, either way nice kill...

Wow VIP09 14.7 is a crazy fast stock time for a gts car and driver tested them at 15.25 how did you manage that time. "not tryting to flame just curious"

Shifting very very quickly at 8400rpms and landing as high as you can on every shift will get you 14.7 in a stock gt-s. Myself and I think 3 or 4 others have done it and have backed it up with slips. I ran my 14.7 with heavy 17" wheels and a 2.3 60'.. I think I could have gotten a 14.6 if I had the stock 16" wheels and a better launch. I can get 2.1 60's now.

*Edit: Pretty much all the magazine times for GT-S's were obtained shifting at the redline (7800rpms).. you have to shift right before the reve limiter at 8400rpms to get the most out of it.

Thanks vip09 that explains it, now if only people would believe i ran sub 15's in my SL when it was stock.

14.7 stock is fast....I ran a 14.5 in my first gen neon......but it took weight reduction and bolt ons to do so.......props to you...
