Wasn't sure which section to post. A co worker was talking smack about this and that.
This what he was talking.
1) He beat the new Pontiac G8 6.1 liter w/ a 05 Q45. Doubt it
2) A stock Toy Car(scion tc) handle better than a stock DC2
3) His auto TC can beat a B16 EF civic & a GSR racing

that's some broad as comments.

1) in what type of "racing"
2) again in what type of handling? my guess is he is talking about static tests like road holding (g) or slalom
3) same as 1)

The youngen was talking on a open road in the Q45. I seriously doubt it.
Now for the Toy Car-TC Scion he's talking w/ his auto he can beat a EF Civic w/B16 bolt ons in the 1/4 & a open road. My EF has a chipped ECU,I,H & E. Also much lighter & when I use to work for Toyota the TC tops out at 130.
Then he said a TC is better than a GSR & faster in 1/4 also will out handle a GSR stock for stock. He's also saying that because TC's come w/ 17's & GSR's come w/ 15's.
The GSR also top out at 140 vs 130. Not to mention the GSR set up for racing from dealer not the Tc w/ a Toyota Camary 2.4 motor which the car weigh like 3000 lbs vs barely what 2400 lbs.

I just shake my head with all these people getting so hype over a Scion like they're in a Porsche or Supra
Doubt it. You have to just laugh at these kids w/ thier Scions.

Anything is possible. Depends on the driver, skill etc. Plus bench mark racing is stupid. Just go to an autocross and find out.
