I bet there are things I like that you don't. No need to get ticked off.
I personally dont like it. But w/e. Im not in the mood to argue. Go on with your discussions..

Forgive me for being casual, it just ticks me off when someone tries decides to disrespect a culture in japan. Then again, what should I expect, apparently bosozoku is a car designer according to you.

Maybe I should use more smiley so your half dead brain can understand.
Damn, sucks to be you!

There is not another single FWD car on this planet that moves like theirs. Those other fast cars do so with different drivetrains. The WR tC is constantly top 5 fastest cars on the track. You said it was ricer, not much of a point can be taken from that.

Yep no hood mounted spoilers even though they were putting out some serious power for their weight.



World Racing's tC smashed those cars dude, what's your point? The GM cobalt pictured above held the lap record for 5yrs at Willow Springs I think it was. Rado's tC came and smashed it by 2+ secs. The Civic pictured doesn't even come close to Rado's times dude.

Huh? I told you the name of them both (Forged Performance GTR and Crawford Performance GTR). Typed that into google and instant articles...

Big wings, big graphics, "loud" paint, crazy ground effects...etc. You have somebody see a race car/show car with a spoiler and all of a sudden you have a bunch of teenagers thinking that if those cars have spoilers you might as well go with a large one since larger is always better. Right?

You are probably one of those guys who say a wing on a FWD car is not functional.

"Rice" = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. If it's functional, how on earth is it Rice?

I know you didn't know what you were talking about before....NOW you just sealed the envelope.

AMS Evo X and the Serra Serra Evo were turning a 1:01-1:02 lap time at my local track Nashville Super Speedway.

The track record is held by the AMS Evo X here with a 1:01 lap time. Rado's tC still FWD ran a 1:03 sec lap time. Don't talk to me about lap times when you don't even follow them or have the fortitude to go look them up.

Exactly, but there are other FR and AWD cars that move a lot quicker than theirs. Whats your point?

Point was there were plenty of other fast FF cars during their time that didn't need a front wing. Sure a car that is 5-10 years newer is faster. I wouldn't expect anything else. If it was the same speed as a car raced in 2000-2005 that would be sad.

We are obviously going way off topic and neither of us are going to convince each other. I will leave it at that unless you want the final word go at it. Otherwise I am done with that this particular topic in this particular thread.

Yeah ok. Now I know to really ignore you. Thanks for the fun time on this thread.

Rado's 1:49.703 doesn't make the top 10. You might be going off some other times, but I was going off of these.

They are "suppose" to that's the point. And how much faster do they move...2-3secs at most tracks. How fast does Rado move from his nearest FWD competition....usually 5-8secs.

When you want to go faster than everyone else, you don't do exactly the same things they do. Those "plenty of other fast FF cars" are fast for them, but they aren't even close to Rado's. Rado's times are close to the top FR and AWD cars, not the top FF cars.

And are you serious....age has nothing to do with it. How old is FXMD's NSX? Yet it holds lap records alongside newer AWD cars like the R35. It's about the cars development not it's age dude. Why do you continue to talk about a subject you are obviously lacking knowledge in?

In 2008 his tC looked like this:

Just some more data to end this stupid debate. Top Scion tC didn't even break into the top 20. It ended up at.....wait for it....wait for it.... 40 out of 42. Out of the 5 records broken 0 were tC all of them were Evos, STI, NSX or a 1G Eclipse. Nada on the Scion.







Look forward to your excuses.



Google, it is your friend.
