Default No Respect for the tC

I just dont understand why people are still not understanding that the tC is a very good platformed car. Made for modyfing and HUGE GREAT aftermarket support. The sentence in gold makes me laugh soo much that morons are soo naive..

Here is a comment I got on a video from youtube, because they were talking ____ about a stock tC messin around with a 350z and rx8.


psykoticc(is the guys user name fun that its pronounced the same as scikotics, lol)
...
Reply to your comment on: 350Z vs RX8 vs Scion Tc Vs Porsche Cayman S
I drive a 2005 3.5se altima, which can smoke a ____ty tc, so ____ you. I don't know what you're thinking turboing a tc, that actually made me laugh out loud. I'm probably getting a 350 or a maxima in June, which are again, both much faster than your tc, riced out or not. ;
See all comments

Link to the video just incase you would like to exchange words of wisedom to the moron also on how superior a tC is to a Altima SE of all cars, not even a Altima SE-R..

People on Youtube are generally retarded.

Actually, now that I think about it, the bulk majority of other car groups are full of retards. I posted my turbo thread on a local tuner forum, and said I'd guesstimate 260-280whp and literally everyone was calling BS and saying that I wouldn't break 240 and the tC motor can't hold boost. So I went back with my dyno chart of 295 and then they started trying to say some other stuff, basically they kept trying to deny the fact that I have a DD 300+hp tC.

They should see travis's video of his turbo tc against the 350z.

The tc is a pretty good platform to boost ^^

I'll post up a vid when I go to get a baseline run ^^

I'm hoping to get at least 300whp on my tune, this weekend.

PM me a link to that thread =D

So far from what I've seen around my town.

Cars that acknowledge me and know not to mess with me:
350z
Evo
GTi
well done civics
S2000
WRX/STI (goes both ways)

Cars that are driven by tools who think they're fast
Civics
Sentras
Civics
Altimas
Accords
WRX/STI (goes both ways)
Civics
Neons
SRT4s
Cobalts
tCs (dunno if they just wanted to see what my car could do or if they were actually tools)

You need to start saying that it is slow. Then you need to race them and when you beat them, just say "damn, your car must be REALLY slow if I beat you!"

This is when you pull out the turbo maps and start talking in CFM's. Anyone who compares PSI to PSI on two different cars with two different motors and two different turbos, does not understand how a turbo works.

I know, I'm saying that when they start saying how they're running 30psi and you're only running 9, just start questioning their knowledge about turbos. Most of them will just reply with "boost is boost", which just further defines their stupidity.
