Wow, what a bad launch

[BlackBetty]

So I'm sitting at a light and this dude pulls up next to me in something (couldnt tell at the time) looks kinda like a golf, but...bigger/taller. I'm not too sure, anyways he had the big fuzzy dice in the window and was giving me a rev. I figured ah why not, it might be a sleeper...

That was the worst launch i've ever done, dumped the clutch at about 3k and spun like a madd man (oops!). So I spun through first, shift into second look over, buddy with the fuzzy dice is about a bus behind me. Wow! I thought, that thing is slllooooow! so then curious to what it was i slow down to take a better look, but he was so embarised he wouldn't come next to me, then when we had anotherlight he turned off!

Dam, I wonder what that was..

[kustomcougar]

i bet it was an old 88 ford station wagon :shrug: :poke: :wiggle: :kick:

Festiva powuh!

[BlackBetty]

lol it did look newer (02-06), I think it might have been one of thoes little Toyota's that come stock with a CAI... and like 85hp or something.. hehe

[s.wilson]

what a scoin? i like how they design those cars with tuners in mind, then offer 85hp engines... it makes sense


really, it does...

Some of the stock scoins were posting 15 second times. The cougar cant say that.

Yep yep, it's call the active enforcement of the anti-darwinism coalition.

Thats what Scion is all about in case ya didn't know. Nothing like a car dealer/source for aftermarket parts that caters to the young and un-educated enthusiast that have watched F&F and 2F2f enough times to actually believe that that is how the modern car scene is really like.

Toyota baseline for safety and reliability, Scion "mods" and enthusiast-dealer-added-options = you won't get your companied sued because in a court of law you could actually prove the cars you sold were actually not race cars, but just cars that morons would want to race.

It's quite ingenious actually, but i'll admit I high fived my friend you bought a scion Xb, simply because he recently got married and had a child on the way.

dido that. and now that you mention it, yeah i think it was a sicon... too bad the fuzzy dice didnt make him go faster lol.

Wow, in this thread alone I've seen 3 different versions of the name Scion. Hehe. S C I O N!

EDIT: The tC is rated at 160HP
The xA and xB are both a 103 whopping HP

I've seen a few mtx cougar's running high 15's stock before, 15.8 to be exact. The only scion that can clam the 15'a is the tC, and they are at around 15.7ish. They weight a little less and have around the same power, we have a little more hp though. It's honestly a drivers race given equal drivers. But we have the edge on top end, their trannys don't suffer huge amounts of powertrain loss though. They don't don't handle as well as the Coug's do, .82g on the skippad...which isn't terrible but could be much better.

It is however a sharp car none the less, and VERY refined for it's class, well built. The 200hp SC'd tC runs 15 flat I believe. But for the cost of that (26k), we could build a 3l/SVT with bolt ons, reinforce the tranny, beef up the axles and run 13/14's all day.

Listen Sergeant Speller, we all knew what we were talking about. Maybe I accidentally switched the I and O, but everyone still knew what I was referring too. Get a life.

Actually, its Lance Corporal Literacy. :tongue: Get it right!

[s.wilson]

LOL!! I stand corrected! hahaha

[XplosivePlushToy]

:rofl: I wish i was a Sgt, I could use that extra pay damnit :(

[Aeglos]

Pfff, find a rich chick and get married. You keep BAH, she'll take care of her crap. Problem solved. :tongue:

[XplosivePlushToy]

Haha, I think I found the girl I'm gonna marry, but shes not rich :(. Oh well, I can do without that small detail. "get a job damnit!'

[Aeglos]

Neither is my wife, but she's not the type that needs much. When you're a Lcpl making just shy of $1200 per check, and she pays her own bills for the most part, there's SERIOUSLY a lot more funds to play with... after the initial set-up of utilities and getting the house livable. ;)

[XplosivePlushToy]

Ah well, she can cook shrimp scampi so I'm perfectly content :biggrin:. Now, to get married to some girl I barely know... :rofl: (I wonder how many other random proposals Jenna gets on a daily basis :rofl:)

Keep it on topic. The lounge is a few clicks south of this forum. :)
