Missing something?
I watched ZPI on fil make a 13.7 pass in their 11sec car with street tires.
I did a 13.5 pass with drag radials but with all that extra audio and a kit, and at less boost? I dunno you got me on this one

If i owned a shop i would put befores and afters not "i just did the best that i could have and that was a 13.5 @107" and thats with there good tune i think there missing something.

Mike, let's remember one thing. We are displaying what an AVERAGE person with ANY tC is capable of with bolting on our S1 kit and turning the boost up 2 LBS. We are not out to make a track killer JUST YET.........
That is what our S2 kit is for...........

i'm sorry for coming off as an unstopable monster. just saying i think that b4 anyone gets all harse on other shops and gives this guy a thumbs up for doing a 13.5 and listens to all his excuses for running like that ; they should look at how good the other guys are. I mean ok maybe someone like me can get in a Tc with a Stage 1 turbo kit (you know all the fast cars are stage1) and do a 13.4@ 107mph with a 2.2 60ft. and look at that its better than a 13.5 oh yea and let me say 2 words BLOWN CLUTCH.

Thanks rythm I appreciate the support.
I already said I'd love to meet up in Etown sometime soon with you guys .
As for the "excuses". All I'm doing is explaining what causes the numbers for the amount of power we're making. The car put down 293wtq and 281.xwhp. With that kind of power the car should be low 13s high 12s on a stock type setup tC with some good tires. My car is a show car that we've boosted. That being said, for all the weight (note that I have 4 12" MA Audio subs, 4 Pairs of Alpines, 4 Alpine amps, Xbox, and a lot of dynamat), it's running some pretty respectable times. One day (after out magazine shoot), I'll finally be able to take all that stuff out and run it at the track to show what that kind of power can actually do.
I still don't see where you're getting at Mike. Are you saying I'm a bad driver or the car's slow and I'm just making excuses? What's your car actually run on the quarter mile? What'd you make on the dyno? Please back up your car before you start raving about how fast it is.
Oh an Munch... Thanks for the info! I really haven't seen too many times on that kit so I'm glad to finally see something. We should hit up a race at the track in July haha, show car vs show car.
Cheers guys
We should set a date sometime in July for me to take my tC down to E-town and do some heads up with you guys.

and mike is going to be the reason why our cars are going to get a bad name with that attitude.
STi owners look down on these types
Evos look down on thse types
Mike for god sakes, post some of your slips and vids of you at a track. I dont believe a single word you say.
BTW, Joe's car is wayyy far from a "shop car" get your facts straight.
Sigh sadly, Mike is going to give boosted tC's a bad name.
change your attitude man...then again it comes with your age grow up a bit more man.
Your doing a hell of a job Joe! Can't wait to meet up with you out here in AZ, should be "fun" hehe

Mikescion, just chill a little. Don't get this thread loocked (I hate that). Also, I look foward to see vids and slips of your car soon.
Oh yeah... shootout shootout shootout. If all you guys are there I'll start packing my bags now.

Yeah, Joe. You would need to strip all that gear out to run with the BIG DOGS!...j/k. But our car is the exact opposite of yours. It still goes to shows, but we are going down the avenue of "showing" a Race Car at the show, and not a "bling bling" show car. We still win trophies, so it's all good, and we get to be fast.
