tC is not a 16sec car. It's a mid-low 15sec car. I was talking 2005+ years.

Speaking of the Lexus IS, the tC is nearly as quick as its 215-hp luxury cousin. The sporty Scion scoots from 0 to 60 in 7.4 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15.7 seconds at 88 mph, only 0.1 and 0.2 second, respectively, behind the IS ("$35,000 Sports Sedans," March 2004).

Highly doubt the 2011 tC runs 16s either. Pretty sure DSport ran faster than 16secs when they tested it. Nov. 2010 issue.

tC traps at 88mph. As mentioned above. Looking at the price difference between the two cars as well as their numbers on paper....tC 160hp FWD vs a turbo RWD and still running the same 1/4 mile times equates to

GC 2.0T = SLOW for what it is. It is to heavy. I was heavily considering buying one until I read it's performance specs and was sorely disappointed.

When we first got our tC, I had the rear seats removed and on factory Scion tires was running 15.1-15.2sec 1/4 mile times.

I will say the GC's 2.0T motor responds great to a turbo upgraded system and makes good power.

PTuning worked their magic on the 2.0T
