News so i got a ride in a tc today

so i got a ride in a tc today

my buddy just bought one after i've been convincing him to buy the new si or at least a mazda 3 or a miata. wasnt all that impressed, just like i expected. understeers A LOT and isnt much faster in 0-60 than my rolla

...but they look purdy sharp..

at least they are hot, it seems whenever i see someone driving an older corolla they are fat and ugly.:sad:

i like the S/C from TRD for the tC.. heheh

Stock tc is a chick car,but modded tc is a guy car.

I test drove a tC, but didn't get to see how it performed because of the salesman sitting next to me. It is a nice car, and I've seen many "girls" buying them and that joke-of-a-car, the Matrix.

This is coming from a guy who drives a 98 Corolla CE... oh brother.

FYI, the Civic SI is about $5,000 more than a tC. $5,000 in mods will go a looooooong way. Mazda 3 is a more decent competitor and they're close in performance but when you compare the equipment it comes with, for the 3 to even come close to a tC, it'll cost atleast $2,000 more.
Then you compare a Mitata to a tC? Hmmmm... one car is extremely lighter than the other and drives the rear wheels. By the way, the Miata is about $4,000 more than the tC.

I guess your Corolla oversteers a lot eh?

You are full of shit. Your Corolla barely makes 115hp and does 0-60 in 10 seconds if you're lucky.

You're one of these hating bitches who drive mommy's passed down Corolla and hates on people who have a better ride than them. If you're going to critique a car, atleast do so in a way that is CREDIBLE.

What's next, you smoked a Viper in your Granny ride? LOL

dude you stfu. the TC is not a performance car. it comes with a CAMRY engine. and does 0-60 in 0.5 seconds faster than my corolla. we raced em. and its HEAVY. its not a good platform IMO just because of that. i bet you never actually raced your car on a race course. my corolla is pretty balanced. when i crank up the tire pressure i can get it to oversteer pretty easily. and my friend doesnt mod cars. he's a loser who thinks that the TC is "hot" and thinks it'll get him chicks.

Oh my bad, I forgot that your Corolla is a HIGH PERFORMANCE racing machine...

i only do autocross. and i always beat all the TCs and so do all the 100 hp civics. its just not good for that kind of thing. i'm not saying that i drive a monstorously fast car, but its good for what i do with it. and if youre implying that the TC is a high-performance racing machine, then why is it FWD?

A bone stock Scion does the 0-60 in 7.5 second. The only Corolla that's faster than that is the XRS. Take a hike.

I guess yours is much better LOL.

Ooooh, so you blasted thru the parking lot of Walmart after you got out from work and you think you're now part of the Andretti family. LOL

The Corolla's weight distribution if about 60/40 F/R, so unless you drive your car while sitting in the trunk... your car is NOT balanced.

Pulling on the e-brake isn't drifting. I think it's time you lay off the Initial D videos. I don't mean to spoil your fun but your corolla is NOT the same is his.

Good for him, putting coffee can fart cannons don't do jack shit to your car.

So I guess you surround yourself with people of your kind.

The only pussy you'll get with this car

is one of the Golden Girls

LOLOL!

and for the record, i drove it, i hated it, and i'd never buy it. and if you have something to say about my car you can come to autocross with me and get your ass handed to you

I saw a red tC with bronze enkei's and tinted windows down the street. Simple, but it looked pretty sharp.

1. actually i timed my 0-60 and got about 8.2 seconds.
2. autocross is the number one motorsport in america.
3. i moved stuff around and removed stuff to change the weight distribution, and my suspension setup causes my car to oversteer on trail braking. but you wouldnt know what that is
4. I dont drift. drifting is for RWD cars. i dont own one.
5. My friend is a 'loser' cuz hes a virgin ricer. hes a nice guy but hes a loser for thinking that a TC will get him pussy when in reality his forwardness scares all the girls away

shhhh..... don't feed the trolls.....

You sound like you're very bitter because your friend got a better car than you. Instead of being happy for your friend, you express hatred towards him. You little green eyed monster you. I guess you're still young and immature. Why if a friend of mine drives home in a GT3, I'd be happy for him. I guess that's the difference between boys and men.

My, my, my you've certainly got a big mouth. Calling out a challenge from the internet. You know damn well that a race will never happen but you call it anyways. I guess it's the only way you can psych yourself into feeling better. Because in the back of your mind, you know you have a slow car so you make yourself believe that you have a supercar. It's time for you to grow up bro. Be happy for your friend and don't let envy eat you up.

You don't press the start button when you're going 50mph dude.

Typical ricer talk.

Captain contradiction strikes again.

If you're a girl, which car would you jump in?


I rest my case.

You seem to observe your friend so much. Have you tried to go fishing with him while herding sheeps?

youre the one who started flaming me when you dont know sh*t about my car or what i do with it. i hate it when people like you ruin the boards. i know damn well what i drive and what it can and can't do. and all i said was that after driving the TC i was dissapointed. if youre in the northeast i dunno why this challenge cant happen

Actually if you think you know shit about cars, would you mind telling me what you plan to do for your suspension? we'll see if you can say something meaningful instead of just flaming.


"I plan to change my suspension and a TRD supercharger after the warranty expires. I'd go the turbo route but it's too much work for me. The supercharger would be a lot easier."

All I know is that the only way your 98 CE will get to 60 in 8.3 sec is if you push it off a cliff.

Ok, here goes. To lower my car to be 2inches from the ground, I'd ask you mom to sit in the back seat and your sister up in the front.

Hmmm.... let's see. My car barely has 800miles and I'm already going to tear the engine apart?

Let's see, I'm going to buy the S/C for $2,800 and install it myself and VOID the warranty. Oh wait, I can get Toyota to do it but I'd have to get screwed several thousand dollars for something I can do myself. Wow, you're a smart one.

If you also don't know that a turbo charger requires more work than a S/C, I suggest you pick up on some reading. You should actually read the articles in Super Street magazines instead of just jacking off at the pictures of women and pasting your pictures next to the cars.

read this. the 03 corolla does 0-60 in 7.9 seconds and its heavier with 20 more hp than mine. so 8.3 seconds is very realistic for a 98. i'm sorry but you are the ricer here, and i'm not gonna waste any more time arguing with you over this.

1234 watch your language

Of course dawg, whatever.

Ooops, sorry. :beerchug:

Those personal attacks are seriously not cool.. Debaiting about car knowledge is one thing but whats up with insulting the guy's family among other things. IMO that's the last defense of a ignorant person in junior high school. You need to grow the fuck up.

Thread is locked until one of the higher ups over-rule me.

Unlocked per Vortex.
