Bringing this thread back from a nap...to stir the pot once more and to point out that Scion won the manufacturer's battle with a tC (over RX-8s, GTIs, Civic Sis, IS300s and TSXs) in the SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge series Touring Car class. A tC driver also won rookie of the year and overall Touring Car championship.

World Challenge Touring Cars are very close to stock allowing for minimal upgrades, which does include a blue printed engine but maintains stock pick up-point suspension. SCCA Pro Racing WCTC Car Rules.

What do you know, Scion has a racing heritage afterall. Not that I think the bashers will let facts or reality cloud their hate, but they will need to look for a better argument than "Scion is fake."

In other news: Pastrana drove his close-to-stock Subaru through a tire barrier (right in front of me) last weekend...




Travis then quit the team...he'll be in NASCAR soon enough, possibly in a fake Camry.
