sentra vs scion tc
well, i was out and about with a couple of my buddies, and we ended up going to the local spot. chilled for a bit, and i looked around the area for the berries and cherries, and saw a couple tow trucks. called a couple people up to leave, and they did.
now, when everyone was leaving, i ran into a scion tc. this was like a 07-08 when they changed the taillights to the black accented ones. we were playing back and forth from a 35 roll and i would beat him everytime to 60, but then he pulls away. we finally got to a light and i asked him if it was stock. he says bone stock. after chattin while the light was red, we agree to race to 70mph, as cops are in this area quite a bit. i brake gas the nissan at 2500, and he is holding his revs. the light turns green, i launch like a bat outta hell infront as he just burns up his tires in 1st. when i hit 40, i was in front by 1 1/2 cars. at 45 the trans shifted to 2nd, and he stopped my pull, and we were even from about 55-65, but then he got the higher revs in 2nd and pulled ahead. we stopped around 75, and he was ahead by 2 cars. we gave each other a thumbs up, and parted our ways. i would have to say not too shabby for the sentra that runs a high 16. and im becoming anxious to buy a faster car as everyone is getting faster and faster here, as im stuck paying for college lol. i guess its a trade off.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
I'm one of the weird guys that doesn't mind auto cars.
 I'm guessing cams would wake up your top end quite a bit. JY turbo kit could be done w/ intercooler for under $1g. And there's always a sneaky pete 50-shot.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
Sounds like a good race.
Ive never owned a car with an automatic transmission, and I dont think I will be able to for a long time.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
Whenever I drive an auto, I end up trying to shift into neutral and try to find the clutch pedal. It bothers me a bit. But making the sentra into a turbo'd beast would be very fun I would think, keep a bit of a sleeper aspect with it.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
^^^it was a work in progress at one point, but then i realized that it wouldnt be worth it and sold all the parts to a buddy. i think i realistically spent maybe 3k on a t28 set up to run 250whp, but then again, the trans blows at 200, and i cant do that to the daily.
welps, all that money paid for the semester instead of taking out another student loan so i cant complain, although the new turbo cobalt is looking pretty good right now at 21k employee pricing....

Re: sentra vs scion tc
DO IT
 TCs are pretty damn quick, and with bolt ons they are mid 13 second cars.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
haha... No, but really, they are stupid fast for what they are. Nothing compared to the G8 of course
But I would call them respectable. A Saturn V rocket CAN be a bolt on, if you know what you are doing.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
I've never heard of a 13 second Scion TC with bolt-ons.
Does that include using a TRD Supercharger? Does adding F/I count as a bolt-on? There's a little more to it than just adding an exhaust system or cold air intake (your run of the mill bolt-ons).

Re: sentra vs scion tc
Last road test I read, the TRD supercharged TC's were running mid 14's.

Re: sentra vs scion tc
The TC MZR is refering to is the new Cobalt SS/TC...not the scion TC. He probably should have looked at the title before saying TC haha

Re: sentra vs scion tc
i like the whole aspect of a turbocharged cobalt, there's two things that bothered me
1. The exterior styling is fugly. I prefer the SS Supercharged styling over this new turbo version 2. No rear or AWD option? /end offtopic [Ontopic] chiquea, are you still in wis? I thought you were moving to Florida for college? Nice race homeboi, was the TC auto or manual? I raced an auto TC when i still had my 16 sec corolla and I beat it pretty bad. Git r to a track and post up some times! One more thing, time to upgrade to a faster car! You wont be disappointed, trust me, I have experience
