Default I Just Have to Rant

The Scion xB does 0-60 in 10.6 seconds. To drop it 2-seconds to 8.6 seconds (or basically a Civic EX with a 5-speed) would require a lot of money. Who the fuck would want to tune that.

Toyota is fucking stupid. Do we look like Japan? Do we want stupid little boxes that have 108HP and do the quarter mile in 18.2 seconds at 75mph? No.

End rant.

Who cares what they do the quarter in, they aren't meant to be raced...just cruised to get groceries.

Toyota says they hope the aftermarket develops "go-fast" parts for this car.

wow not everything is meant to be "tuned" to race. It that were true, every single car released would be running 13's in the quarter. Just relax bro.


and as far as the go-fast mods...toyota knows they can make some money off of it because people will inevitably buy them. Nothing wrong with making some bucks off of it.

Well if people demand it perhaps a TRD xB will be made, perhaps Supercharged.

Ya, the Celica engine fits.

Besides xB aint for racing. its for putting 24s, spinners and hydros on. And those huge godzilla batman wings and 4ft bumper extensions all the JDM vans have
