    The Scion tC is probably the most underrated car in the car scene right now and it just puts a smile on my face to see one like this someone putting in wrench time to open up some eyes and make the impossible possible.

      Tomas Landeros Idk man stock they don't handle particularly wonderfully and the brakes kinda suck, it's also not very fast but I love mine and I wanna see how it is with some suspension, wheels/tires and brake upgrades!

      MurrayTeeVee I have a tc. I have 8.5 width tires helped with the steering a lot and a custom midpipe and an rs racing axle back exhaust and its pretty quick with just that nothing insane but it surprises people on track.

    I know this is an old video and my comment probably will not be noticed, but I got a chance last year to drive a buddies first gen TC like this with a turbo and 255 front tires, an LSD (not sure what brand) but he had it on fortune auto coilovers and had west end do the alignment and corner balancing he said. And it honestly handled better than any track tuned and set up Turbo Civic Si or otherwise (since that's the best comparison I could think most people would bring up). I mean it ripped in a straight line and almost zero torque steer thanks to the 1.5 way lsd. It made driving slow in parking lots a little tough and noisey lol, you would chirp your tires going into a parking spot going 2 mph's lol. But we drove it through hwy 138 near the 15 fwy in so cal between victorville and san bernadino, and the damn thing would actually throttle over steer with that lsd and alignment setup but very confidently and so smooth. It was a slight but over sprung but jesus it cornered like a true ground up sports car and was making just over 400 whp with a holset turbo that I don't know the specs of. Anyways what I'm getting at is, *You should get a properly setup Turbo tC first or second gen and do another take.* Just make sure it's actually done and not in between tune up stages aka not aligned or poorly aligned. And going LSD on something that makes a ton of torque like the 2az's and 2ar's do turbo'd is almost a must. Or you'll be torque steering all over the road.

    I had a tC as my first car and as a first car it's not that bad because of all the cool features (auto up/down Windows, full glass roof, OK gas mileage) but it's one of those cars I quickly fell out of love with because of the automatic. They make really good autocross cars when the roof is swapped out for a carbon one and all that weight is removed.

    He shaved everything off for weight reduction, awesome
    330-50 hp on a Camry engine
    You can still buy one of these for $3-4000 and add $3-5000 of parts (turbo, coilover, wheelset, intake, header, downpipe, etc to make it faster.
    One reason why the car is hard to drive is because its an unbalanced vehicle. the weight distribution is off. The front is way heavier and the large heavy panaramic roof doesn't make anything better. I'm not sure whats the exact percentage.
    overall still a decent car for the price. i had the 2006 and it treated me well. especially the rear hatch that fit my two bicycles.

    Matt's facial expression would switch from giddy to scared to extremely focused on some of those corners AND straights. I liked this one more than I thought I would.

      @Bobitrust95 8 років тому +1

      TheSmokingTire​ I know and for me it's not a big issue. All audios have always been understandable btw ;) But people have bothered you so much about the quality in the past that it became a farce, something like the "coffee" (quality that has always been acceptable for me, I mean "hey you are in a car with road noises..not watching a political talk show" :P)

    No apologies needed man, at the end of the day you're pumping out some of the more enjoyable/relate-able content and at a speed above most others. The fans get what they're given with what you can produce, you don't owe them anything. If someone bitches about the lack of a drive by when someone with your experience & talents in this field hasn't included it, you've got to assume there's a qualifying reason :P great video, loved the 488GTB one, just gotta find a way to make my millions :P

    I definitely think this could be a whole other car with an alignment. It seems like a bad idea bringing such a powerful car known to be out of alignment to a road like this. I'd definitely like to see this on again with an alignment. The sound is intoxicating.

  • @Xmvw2X
    @Xmvw2X 8 років тому

    It's a great little car. I almost bought one back when they just came out. It was an excellent package at the time. The ride was great, and the sound deadening was moderately better than just about anything at its price point.
    That car was awesome to watch. There's something to be said about driving a sketchy car. You'll never get bored, but man it wears on you. There seemed to be a lot of steering effort. I doubt it has much to do with the steering system. Rather it probably has a lot to do with the alignment, the tire size, and whatever offset he's running to fit them. The scrub might be less than pleasant, especially if the alignment is messed up.

  • @GeeGee2264
    @GeeGee2264 8 років тому

    Initially I was going to :facepalm: when I read the title of the vid, but after watching it though, I give a lot of respect. 1.) The owner has to be on his game when the boost hits as that car is a handful, 2.) He has a decent track day setup and upgraded to limited slip... but i'd honestly dial back the power to maybe 270whp (which is already enough), because if he's running DOT-R tires which it sounds like, spinning those while warm already means you have too much power. The giggle factor is at a full 10/10 though :D

    I liked this video a lot, I think the only thing that would have made this better was footage of the owner actually driving it to see how he handles it in comparison to you, given that this was that challenging to drive. Great work though, keep up the good content.
