i drive 25 miles home everyday from work on the highway and one day i went home late and this TC wouldn't get off my ass i kept blocking him from passing by speeding up and narrowing the gap between the cars in the right lane, so what does he do.... the next gap he punches it, so do i i start to slow down cause he has a car in front of him and i dont wanna see him crash, nope he goes around them on the shoulder. crazy mother f***er, so i keep on it we are right next to each other i stay in 4th all the way to 100 and by that time i was about a car ahead.
it was odd i expected more, i could hear his exhaust and he had some other visual mods, but no ***** under the hood, most of the time i was blocking him i would pull on him really hard and you could tell he was flooring it.
oh well another one bites the dust.../

 

tcs are kinda slow i have beat 2 of them in my 2.2

 

stock they have 160 to the crank and weigh about the same if not less.

 

Cause scion TC is almost 300 pounds heavier than an LS, TC almost equal weight to an SS/SC.

 

Depending on equipment, an SS/SC is only about 150 lbs more than an LS...

 

Any performance mods on your end?

 

Round numbers, the TC coulda been an automatic, coulda had a ton of speakers in the trunk, too may variables. Truth is its heavier, and obviously slower. Oh well.

 

Ah, I don't doubt that weight would play a role - the tC has on average about 200-250 lbs on any model Cobalt, I was just commenting on the fact that the SS/SC is in no way shape or form the same weight as the tC. The SS/SC and LS/LT are roughly the same weight. The only difference you'll see between the two Cobalts is if you get a loaded-to-the-nines SS/SC and a stripped down base model, you MIGHT see 150lbs difference at best.

 

Thats how i was thinking, best/worst case. Like mine I roll a base LS, I dont even have the spare tire in it anymore. The only additional weight other than myself, theres the spoiler that will go when the carbon trunk comes.

But if you take something like our cars or any other car and load it up with speakers, people, big wheels and tires, and a bunch of body kit stuff. It's pretty to look at in a parade. Thats one thing i never understood, people doing a turbo kit or big supers and of course Nawzzzz, dyno big numbers, and complain that theyre not going much faster. Not understanding what a crucial part weight plays in performance.


P.S. I'm considering the bottle cause no one has released the tuning YET
*rant*
raking frackin motha &%)$(&^)#$&) TUNING FOR 2.2's!!!!!! argh.......
*end rant*

 

i have no real performance mods yet

 

i wouldn't go flexing your 2.2 muscles to all tCs, some are beasts.. ive seen them dip into the 12s w/ turbo..

 

Nice kill...I love destroying tCs in my automatic 2.4-doesn't matter if they are manual or automatic. I beat them every time.

 

yeah they are offered with some nice TRD packages, i was just lucky this one didnt eat its wheaties

 

thats the trd s/c.. im talking turbo.. much better than that crappy trd blower. the blower only puts them in the high 14s or so.

 

Yeah...the TRD parts for them are garbage...my buddy has intake, header and exhaust done to his Tc now and i'll have to run him to see how badly I get beat in my 2.2...I doubt he'll get more than 1-2 cars on me and i'm bone stock. I beat him when he was stock.

Good kill man!

 

where i live im surounded by tcs its not even funny. i feel like an out sider or something, im like the only cobalt owner around here that is into the car. i have raced 4 of them and i beat 3 of them by 4 cars,and the fourth one had some mods to it and he kept up with me but when im in my el camino they will not race me. i try to bait them in but they will not bite. i guess they 2 scared to race me

 

Hahaha ya they really run good with a turbo, a guy here in st.louis has a ZPI turbo on his and only ran a 14.8@92 fully gutted, i wont even race him until he gets to where im trapping, TC's are turds, they look good but are o so slow..........

 

ive seen a turbo tc, he blew away this 5.0 mustang. the mustang had some mods 2 sounded sick as hell but the tc still took him by 5 cars or more

 

TC's are dogs. Last night I gave him a car from the line and beat him by a car. so technically i kill him by 2 cars with a 2.2. i hate scions!!!!

 

im telling u guys these asians down where i live they get crazy with other cars like cobalts, civics, and others. i think they are forming a tc car gang hahahahaahaha. i better make a cobalt gang to show them up lol jk.

 

Good job against the tC.

 

i heard on this site that the trd supercharger is more efficient than the eaton and at 10 psi on the trd its like making 12 psi on the eaton , not so shittie if you ask me , by the way if you take the same motor a turbo will always produce better results , unless you compare some shittie turbo to some profound supercharger

, you sound like this kid that said he quit his shittie job and finally got a good one , as he was standing there taking my order at wendys
