Oh, haha. My bad, the Scion Laser, ehhh. LOL, so quirky. Isn't the Talon and the Eclipse the same thing kinda? Not really into DSM.

So far, this is the only video of it right now. This vid it's pushing around 425whp.

His Prelude and the Civic would kill that tC. Plus, it looks kinda slow. Didn't pull that hard. The Civic has 500WHP, yes, but is also 900 lbs lighter. You do the math...

It was not a challenge bro, take a chill pill. I don't race with my friends cars, that's ___. Otherwise I would be posting vids of an associates big single turbo Supra or the built motor twin turbo 350z that runs 10's on street tires.

Not really bro. Built motor will run you 5-6k granted you have someone do the labor. Then the part of making the power is about what turbo you run. You do know there is such a thing as a 740whp tC right?

i've been noticing that you 'rhythmnsmoke' and the OP are always arguing yet the OP always talks about this and that. i think it's time to just grow up and leave things alone, this is a scion forum not show me honda's with turbo thread

exactly and if built right you can boost it up alot more without having much worries about blowing the internals up.

no t hey don't...

that's why there's three or less versions of each car.
