Sooo I would say with a TC w/ SC, exhaust and intake should EASILY be in the mid 14s and lower especially with some minor weight reduction.

I heard, Acura will have more higher end cars, such as SUV and crossovers.. so they need to make space...
So the rsx is being discontinued (2006 being the last year) as an Acura, and redesigned as a Honda... Since Honda is in need of young buyers too, such as toyota.. or because they lack a sports car between the s2000 and Si
The Honda Fit is coming too!!! compete against the Xa

i would say the scion would have to be 2,500 pounds to run 14.5 with 200hp

unless you really advance ure timing then u will need to run higher octane gas all the time

If you bought this car to race, then I feel sorry for you, as I bought it as an nice lil hatch that has decent pickup, reliability, and some nice stock options. IT'S NOT A RACING CAR, HELLLLLLO!!!

got my tib brand new v6 5spd 16,200. 630$ mods. i can outpace stock gt's on the highway. quarter mile? prolly not due to their rwd launch.
mustang gt's price is what 22,000+?
friends tib in panama city. 17,300 v6 6speed. 4k on 11psi turbo w/ intercooler, full fuel uggrade, wideband kit and hes running around 350whp.
lets just say he spent 22k as well. now your facing 250hp*stang* vs 350hp *tib* for the tib costing less.
Now, your TC. doesnt have a v6, but has a larger i4. Given as much power and torque it has, + its quick gear ratio, it shouldnt take that much to be beating stangs either.
t/a. as much power as they boast, they have the same minor setback the mustangs do. their drawn out gear ratio's.
True, the mustang and t/am can easily be modified to hold a ton more power. Due to their larger capacity engines, but looking at it from this stand point. Costs while buying the car new.

his best run was a 13.4 with stock tires when he mis shifted 5th gear. hes estimated to run 12's when he does it right for once. : )
his biggest challenge is getting good traction via fwd. In the track video's all the mustangs take a slight early lead, but he soon passes them llike nada.

LS1's are sweet. Our shop camaro went 11.18 @ 125 on spray and DOT legal slicks.....but back to the topic ;)
Our tC went 17.3 @ 80.6 mph with a 2.43 60ft time. This was totally stock, not changing tire pressure or anything at 5200 ft altitude. Corrected for sea level, that makes for a 16.1 @ 86.1 mph. I'm not a good driver, so someone could probably knock a couple tenths off my times pretty easily....

After punching the numbers in to cartest software, which gave the same results as C&D got for the tC, it tells me that an sc'd tC w/200bhp is good for a 14.6@95 with a 6.4 0-60. All and all not too bad, considering there's a 2-3 before 60. I just hope I find some money so I can get it and at least keep up with my aunts g35 sedan 6sp.
