Race him and find out..

Even with the supercharger from toyota, he has no chance in the TC.

^^^What Skiptomylue said - race 'em and find out. Just make sure you do it in front of a police station. Oh and don't come back here and tell us about it because talking about street racing is against forum rules.

One of my friends has a TC and took a ride in my car. He was very impressed and did not think he would stand a chance even though I was not pushing the car extremely hard.

He could have been just being considerate though.

Highschoolers will boast endlessly about how their cars can "smoke" everything in the world. Even if he had some super beefed up TC, I wouldn't really care even if he COULD beat me in a (drag) race, they're boring. Take him to an autocross or a track event and show him what real racing is like.

For now, just let him live in his little dream world, he'll grow up eventually.

Do they have a comparison of the two?

They did a spot on the TRD Supercharger Scion tC. It's only slightly less slow.

I must say though, I like the styling.

go to the track and find out

CarAndDriver

No, but they have tested all of them. From the performance info, you can figure out who would most likely win.

Ah.. yes.

I find there isn't a real benefit of a pissing contest, unless there is money involved

chrism

there is no chance in hell he will beat an 8.....maybe supercharged but my buddy has every bolt on and some fabbed parts on his NA tc and he cant keep up with me if i tried...he can keep me in sight distance but thats it

Heh. I've been arguing about the same topic at work. My friend has a AT tC. I have an AT RX-8 (07). Hes added mods to his car, maybe a 10-15 hp increase in total. Wants to race me, to show me that he can win. I always say no though. But I'm sure I won't lose either way.

Remember, street racing is bad.

Unless you suck at driving the 8 wont lose.

trd sc'ed version's 0-60 is 7.2 :/

Razz1

ah.. I heard you can get a TC over 300HP.

That would be a different story.

the TC is an economic cheap car.
the 8 is a refined sports car.
the M6 is a sedan.

No comparison as they are all different. Hence, no hands down winner.

I put my money on the Xfire

Skiptomylue

i think you will
At rx8 = not fast

It's like having a taste off between Chilis oand Fridays for the better restaurant. No matter who is right you're both getting a shitty meal and driving slow cars.
