wow great comparison

You guys should hear yourselves. lol.

chugiboi · 05-09-2008, 06:41 PM

the stock scion xD vs. stock civic si part is a bit hard to believe, unless something is not right and it's only a 1/8 mile too.

24boosted · 05-09-2008, 07:50 PM

That FA got owned! lol

Some Si owners have bloated heads. A brand new RR FG2 did a ricer fly-by thinking he was badass going 80 in a 40 zone. I just laughed and waited for him to see my FMIC.

The Si is not that fast of a car. There are faster modded cars out there, some people need to get over it. lol

***t85konrad*** · 05-09-2008, 07:58 PM

^ lol ya some kids to get out of hand, i love my SI but i know what my limit is, but a scion that should have been n sweat but it was boosted and the other one, wll he just couldnt drive or 3rd gear slipped

07Nighthawkbp · 05-09-2008, 08:44 PM

The Si is the fastest 2.0L FF N/A car out there PERIOD

si is not all that fast and nice of course.
but its best bang for the bucks.
not only that, its def. not compareable car with a SCION XA
thats my point.

so? .. like some guy is going to check whether you're FF and N/A before racing. .. that doesn't mean jack shit.

There are so many fanboys it's unbelievable. Why can't people just respect other cars, and know the limits of their own.

Agreed. I would never even consider getting an XA. Nice S2K in your sig. I may get rid of my 350 soon and have been considering the ap2 CR.

I was informed that discussion of my you-tube videos was brought to this forum.
Just wanted to clear things up...
The first two videos of me racing Si's in my xD, I was not targeting the Si, in fact that day 1/3 of the cars at the track were Civic Si's. The must have been a planned meet there. It so happened that I ended up running against two of them, which I video taped. I found it intriguing that I was able to beat them. In no way is the Scion xD faster than the new generation Si, but (and u will see me say this a few times) the car is only as good as the person behind the wheel. The last generation Si, that was a legit win, I flat out outpowered that one.
Posting those two videos of my xD, I did it to enlighten people... most people read the title of a race video and already know the outcome before they even watch it, That was the twist I wanted to go for. As far as the discriptions I wrote, ( about price tags and such) I was having fun. If that put some people's panties in a bunch then I appoligize, but it was meant to be FUNNY. I wasnt being cocky.
I posted the 3rd video (my xA) vs. the Si just because of the flack that I got from the other 2, it's that simple. Many people couldnt fathem the fact of a cheap Scion being faster than a well engineered, sports-purpose built front wheel drive car. Do I have a beef with Si owners, ... I think the car is awsome, but I also visit other forums which are non vehicle specific and it seems as though Honda owners ( not all) are out to get Scions. They call them "slow" or "girl-cars", things like that. Some guy posts a story about how a Scion cut him off on the way home, then it just turned into a Scion-hating thread.
From that point I learned that many many people who talk trash on the internet and forums, they never go to the track, they just bash and run. I don't like the internet in the way that it hides how a person really is. So what do I do, I stick to racing in real life. I do Time attacks, auto-x's and every once and a while the dragstrip to test my car. I bring real-life results to the internet, instead of talking trash on the net and nothing comes of it. I like all cars.
My xa, it's one of the lowest hp front wheel drive production cars out there, quite simply i get a "kick" out of competing against cars that are far superior. I like being the under-dog, like when sombody watches a fight movie or race movie, u always have a thing for the underdog.
There are many people out there who buy a car and automatically think they are fast because of what they drive... that is entirely not the case. The type of car you drive only gives you the potential to go faster. This is more evident on road coarses and auto-x's. You can not look at a car an know how fast it is, the end results tell the story. On a road coarse, you can not rely on the fact that your car can run a 14.3 in the 1/4 and the car you are competing to pass runs 15.5, all that goes down the tube in the first turn you enter. On road coarses I have passed Evos, 350z's( even boosted ones) S2000's, STI's, BMW's... now I know each one of those cars had the capability to be faster than me, but the drivers of those cars did not maximize the potential of those vehicles. In a nutshell, just because sombody drives a certain type of car, it doesnt mean they are faster than you. And that is my whole point.
I guess what bugs me is that I see all these great cars, and I see many people on the net saying how fast there car is, but when it comes to the big events, where are they? The was only one Si at the last time attack I did, that car has so much potential to do well in FWD street it confuses me that more people don't race.
Here is an in-car of a practice session at the last time attack. I am in FWD street, the 350z is in FWD modified ( R-compound tires) and the s2000 is rear wheel drive street. at that particular even I placed 3rd in FWD street.
