Default AP1 vs. Scion Tc and GS-T Eclipse

So Im at this 2-lane light and this Scion Tc pulls up next to me and revs me and I can hear his CAI. Light turns green, and I smoke him by a good 3 cars atleast by 3rd gear. I'll admit though, his 1st gear was pretty strong. Then as I shut down, this black GS-T Eclipse is right on my ass! We come up to another light, do another run against the Scion cuz he wants more, and the Eclipse was keepin up with me on my ass as I smoked the Tc again. I guess those old GS-T turbo Eclipses are pretty quick!

if you launch the car a TC shouldn't seem to have a strong 1st. You should pull on him hard right out of the gates. DSM's can be pretty damn fast if modded correctly. However most of them have a problem called UNRELIABLE.

My wife has a Tc, and it's so slow I lost a "race" to a Grand Am......and it wasn't the GT. Very, very slow. The supercharged Tc is a good race for the Civic Si, I think.

Yes, supercharged tC is on the new Civic Si GTi 2.0 level. If it's NA, it's slow.

Good runs, man.

Just think.....without that turbo you would have killed his ass by a country mile. Good job

Was the GS-T first or Second Gen?

I was very unimpressed with the tC. Drove one (NA) and I could barely notice the acceleration. Good kill though.
