There is no Release Series yet, only the Scion 10 Series (10 year anniversary).

The point is, the Viper picked up 2.15 seconds without changing it's tires. Winning is winning, it still beat the ZR1 and the tires were not to blame as they were the same tires in both tests. Which...

" Sure, there's that weight difference, but there's no way 25 pounds equals 2.15 seconds on a 2.2-mile track. What does? A better-handling car.

Saying it's the tires is the worst excuse ever. My case in point? SRT's Ralph Gilles was not happy when the new Viper lost to the Corvette ZR1 in Motor Trends comparison. The ZR1 actually beat the...

Are you talking about the Scion 10 series? The limited editions for Scion's 10 year anniversary. They haven't announced a Release Series yet from what I've seen.

New since I last checked. Records are made to be broken after all. Still, 3rd is nothing to sneeze at. Those two are showing 2011 and 2012, the cobalt was in 2008.

This is far from a racecar. I have a few things to say to this: Corvette, Supra, Viper, NSX, GT-R. Those are closer to a "racecar" than the FR-S, BRZ, or 86. They all have "nice seats" they all have...
