suprisingly quick tc
 

Yes I didnt know such a thing existed either, but I just ran one. We lined up at about 40ish, I took the hit cause well I have an a4 in an lt1 so roll races arent my strong suit and i just wanted to go while it was clear. so i hit it. when i started i was at the back of his front fender so we werent exactly even. so as i hit he does the same, i jumped out so that his nose was at my door he stayed there and maybe even creeped up just a bit but every time he shifted he would lose a little ground then make it up by the end of the gear. it stayed that way to around 110 when we shut it down.
so i meet up with the kid, turns out that he has a turbo, which i already knew obviously, at 8.5 psi exhaust turbo back no cats and all the supporting mods. anyone have an idea what kind of power that would make i know they start with 171 crank. i am sure he would have been no problem from a dig but i was impressed.

wow. thats scary to think that this little turds are getting this much put into them, i mean you still won, and thats all that matters.good kill

Yea those things in stock form are peppy at best...Ex wife had a 5spd w/ exhaust and a air filter and the thing after 40 fell on its fact hard...I think the supercharger from trd through the factory only adds like 30hp or something lol.

Took one out in the IROC awhile back. They are ok little cars. Kind of peppy.

THe turbo kits Ive seen claim 295-300ish HP range.

The smaller 4 banger cars like this TC or Civic, Spectra, Elantra, Sentra, etc all have 200HP engines or less. But once they get boosted properly by a torbo system, they get anything from 30-80% power increase.
For instance this TC with a 12psi turbo setup should make around 299HP. So with this kind of HP in a car that weighs less than 2900 lbs makes for a "PEPPY" ride.

Thats why every one needs to run some sort of power adder so they dont get beat by these economy cars. LOL
