Turbo TC vs. Cobalt

One of my buddies from high school has a turbo Scion TC. He's been wanting to run me for a while. I was on my way home from DPA Saturday night and I'm on the LIE in the right lane, with my brother in his GTO in the middle and the TC in the left. My brother thought it would be funny to honk it off. So i waited till the third honk to downshift. The TC jumped out about a foot and then i walked him. i was at least 2 cars ahead by the top of third. My brother didn't run the goat, I guess he realized it wouldn't be fair. lol. I raced the TC twice more on the way home and beat him by a little more both times.

And then I walked a TL type S on my way to work Sunday afternoon. He was really cool about it thought honking and waving when I turned off to go to work.

Good clean fun...

What about the 11 psi and 281whp/293ft.lbs on a conservative tune?
