With that much torque its gonna spin the hell out of those tires. It'd look sexier with a set of slicks.

Look at all the motor work done. You can make any car fast is you have money. Some one with a geo metro can make any amount of hp as long as you have money. The scion sucks, cheaply made, car wont last 3 years before falling apart

I don't get the impression it gets driven much, so torque steer probably isn't too much of a problem. It appears they run it on a dyno, and trailer it to shows, and I'm guessing not much else.
All the decals all over the car look kind of tacky, but if they got sponsored, I guess you owe the company some advertising space.

The 530whp was at 30 psi. I'm sure if someone ran a Celica at 30psi with an engine build up like that the Celica would put down right about those numbers.
My car is gunna be 10x faster than yours...haha... I'm gunna buy like 10
of those speedchips! I figure if 1 gets me 20hp then 10 will get me 200hp!

I would NOT drive that thing if you paid me. The TC is a fairly nice coupe... but 500 HP in a FWD is just 'tarded. It probably runs high 13's because it can't hookup.

Besides the ricey overall look to it, i'd say it's a pretty nice car.
I wonder what motivated them to build such a car out of a tC.

I wonder what motivated them to build such a car out of a tC. Because it's easier to do than a Celica (other than the $500,000 500HP AWD Celica), it's a new car that's going to get more support than our Celicas being easier to mod (they have brochures at the Toyota dealership for an AEM CAI or Hotchkis strut bar as options for the TC), and our Celica's are disconntinued. New and virgin is always good, but deters after market companies from developing new products especially if "Dad" or "Big Brother" doesn't let the girl out. A new old girl that came back into your life with the knowelege of an earlier time and the support of "Dad" and "Big Brother" and all the "family members" at the table for dinner waiting for the you to show up and carve the roast beast is reason enough.

i give it props for the power and the tC sleeper  but then again the second you stop driving the car and trailering it, doesnt make any sense to keep it. you got a car to drive and enjoy not to sit in a parking lot or on a trailer. but then again i was in a high p fwd car a few months ago... and the torque steer and power band made it a awful and uncomfortable car to be in. but thats just my opinion.

It probably runs high 13's because it can't hookup. so because it puts out 500 hp and it's FWD, you think it can't run better than high 13's? Obviously one wouldn't run those rims and tires at a track. But I want to be sure I know what you are saying.

I still can't get over the feeling that the scion is a volvo front end that got ass fucked by a hyundai rear end, by the looks of it.
