Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs. Z28 vs. 350Z

TC vs. SRT-4
TC vs. STI
TC vs. Z28 and 350Z

Before I bought my car, i was thinking about getting a scion tc in the future, it's a pretty nice car actually but i changed my mind because i wanna go BIG. I remember when i first joined this forum there was a guy in here with a scion tc, and since then I've never seen him again, is he still here? anyways, if you guys havn't figured it out yet, scion is part of the TRD family

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

Cool vids. That is one quiet full exhaust LT1. The guy in the TC really needs to learn how to drive, cause I could've counted seconds between his shifts.

So you bought a Corolla? And then put a crappy exhaust on it that actually caused you to loose power?

Werd.

Nice vids I guess. The SRT hardly sounds like hes getting on it. In fact, except for the Z, it hardly sounds like any of them are getting on it. Meh. Theres other stuff I'd rather spend my money on.

Like a decent car?

But seriously, I guess that Scion is a pretty good deal for an MSRP of $16000, but I'd much rather start off with a faster car out of the box, even if it means getting something used...

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

you guys are weird.....the z28 had chip, intake, and full exhaust, is that stock to you guys? and i meant IN THE FUTURE i was planning to get a TC, but i changed my mind, i'm getting something else when i graduate.

And most stage 1 turbo kits are around the $5k price range, no? why wouldn't that impress you? and plus, a TC is only $16,840, add 5k to that and its only about $22,000 for a decent car, hmmmmkayyy.....

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

^^New smiley, cool. I like the TC too, not what I call fast out of the box but it is cheap and it looks pretty good. I like the panaramic roof and the interior, plus the outside reminds me of a bimmer. I wouldn't mind having one for a daily driver.

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

I only watched one video and that was the one with the SRT-4. It sounded to me like he was just holding the throttle down a little. The scions i think are pretty ugly and are more of a grocery vehicle then any type of race vehicle.

Though im biased in my opinion cuz i like late 80s early 90s vehicles. Most and i say most of the new vehicles are surrounded by to many bullshit things.

Anyway nice vids,bad car

I'd rather get a Kia Rio and put $14k into it....

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

Scion is 16k if you have no options on it, problem is they have hundreds of different things u can do to "accessorize it". It can get pretty expensive when you start adding stuff on to it, which alot of ppl do.

Re: Scion TC vs. SRT-4 vs. STI vs Z28

Ew. I hate Scions with a passion. They are so ugly.. and the commercials where they 'pimp' them from the factory just make me hate them even more.
