Now i know this topic has been beaten to death (Yes, I did a search) but a lot of the people on here and other forums always say something near this when a Civic Si is killed by a modded Tc, "Put i/h/e on the civic too and bye bye Tc
" Well...here's the story:
So as I've mentioned in other threads, my buddy owns an 06 Civic Si. He's not very happy with it (transmission issues) but there is no denying it is fast for the price. Anyway he has a friend in L.A. that owns a Scion Tc and we both made fun of him for driving a chick car. Well we sure got slapped in the face when he challenged my friend to a race and left him in the dust not 1 not 2 not 3 but 4 times. What the hell man?! My friend has DC headers, a Greddy EVO2 exhaust, and Injen CAI on his Si. The Tc had an injen intake as well but I'm not sure on the headers and exhaust. Neither of the two have a turbo or a supercharger. My friend has been driving a stick for 9 years so i don't really think its because he sucks at shifting, if anything the Tc guy would since he has only been driving stick for a little over 1 year. The Tc guy is expecting to get a turbo kit soon, and my friend said he won't even try racing him after that
. They raced twice from a dead stop and once from a 3rd and 4th gear roll. We were waiting for the
to kick in the whole time haha it was kind of funny and sad. We were like oh man her it come!! As we waited for the VTEC symphony of destruction and the kick to come in guns blazing. BAM!! VTEC JUST KICKED IN AND.......The Tc still beats him. So...
What the eff? What say you Si owners? I still want a Civic Si just based on looks, but damn that was discouraging. On top of that the Tc guy had such an evil laugh one of those "Muhaha"
every time he won. I might wait for the civic mid-model change to see if they do anything to the transmission. Or around 2010 for the next gen. I'm willing to wait
. Keep on
ing.
P.S. I'm trying to get my friend with the Si to race him again so i can record it and show you guys. But he refuses for now. Especially when i told him i would record it. I don't blame him.
And hey don't flame me for this. I don't like Scions
