Horsepower is more important then torque especially with FWD cars. Also the RSX makes a claimed 1 LESS horsepower than the LSJ.
rated horsepower you douche ....I'm sick of your trolling move it along

That's a Scion that put down 239whp on 8psi with NO intercooler using the TRD kit.

you sir are retarded... THEY ARE THE SAME ******* CAR!!.. and there are 300 whp cobalts (a few on spray) and i believe one or two with full intense kits, exhaust, intake, header w/o spray... Im not sure what your point is with the non/intercooled scion is.. our intercooler is the size of a pickle.. just stop arguing for no reason.. THERE ARE 300 WHP LSJ's..

Size of a pickle??? Are you braindead? Cobalts have an air-to-water intercooler and are VERY efficient. Do you even know what an intercooler does? That is why it is impressive that the Scion makes that power without an intercooler. Add an intercooler and up the boost and they will make a lot of power.

Ok class say it together, "well if ______ had _______ then ______ would be _______"
Next week we'll pick up with some, "You beat me because I didn't have my NOS installed", and don't forget its now whether you win or lose, but how many excuses you can make for losing or for not winning by that big a margin with your horsepower claims. Class dismissed.

Sure the imports make "close" to the same horsepower as domestics with the same sized displacement, but when you compare ALL performance the imports are usually a big step behind when it comes to torque which is what gets you moving in the first place. Case in point, the RSX Type-S makes what 5-10 more claimed HP than the LSJ? What the foreign fans fail to recognize is that particular engine only makes about 143@7000RPM as compared to the LSJ's 200@4400RPM. Hopefully we can get the LSJ some more encounters with foreign F/I cars to prove a point, but I think once that happens we'll start hearing the typical ricer response, "Well you have forged pistons, my boost levels are lower than yours, my tires weren't inflated for proper road racing".........I say RUN WHAT YOU BRUNG and quit crying when you lose!

Obviously these other cars don't aswell.

Why wouldn't it be? It was the TRD S/C like you said the others have. Are there more mods on the 239 WHP ones. If there are then we are not talking from the factory/factory support since TRD only claims 200 hp.

It had to have something to make it 8lbs instead of 7lbs. Either way the TRD kit does not utilize an intercooler and with minor mods makes more power then you guys. Impressive.

Ok. I don't think 1 psi will make that big of a difference, but oh well. I figured we were talking factory support since you mentioned the TRD S/C.
Now adding F/I to an N/A vehicle will result in awesome gains if done properly.
Add a few mods to our cars an we could be making that much. Even more if we had the same compression as the tC.
