I didn't have the room to really stretch the power, but I was really surprised by how well this thing stuck to my butt up to about 100mph afterwhich we parted ways.

Scion tC - 160bhp and 3,000 lbs

2005 JCW 210bhp and 2,563 lbs - a very light fuel load too...

80 degrees, 100% humidity didn't help. Anyone else ever feel that at very light fuel loads the car runs a bit sluggish? Almost like the fuel pressure is off.

 

Scion kept up with your JCW? My friend has a TC with a manual and I told him when he is ready I want to drag him and see how the cars are side by side. At a drag stripe of course. So its interesting to see how your performed.

 

There is a supercharger package available for the tC from TRD. Perhaps he wasn't stock? The package reportedly bumps the tC up to 200bhp.

 

Thats what I thought of at first but its not out yet. but I wonder if the car can just keep up. I know the toyota engine can't put the power to the road as easily as the MINI.

 

I have noticed this too and I think when the tank is very low you loose fuel pressure. That is why you should never run a fuel injected car below a quarter tank. I have also notice that at least according to the on board computer i get better gas mileage with a half tank or better then i do with a half tank or less.

Maybe it needs to be in the racing forum before its

 

Here is a base line dyno for a stock TC.
