two of my friends have scions, both manual, and i have raced both. from launch, all three of us raced on a road that kind of turned and banked, and i was ahead only by about 2/3 of a car length but was on the very outside. however, on the highway, couldnt keep up with either and just let them battle it out.

p.s. 97 3.0CL stock engine, new tranny

im guessing that would be why it wasnt the other way around. they might not be all that fast, but they sure are nimble. -shrugs-

You're right, I know they aren't running a V6. They may be able to get a turbo or SC for the 4 banger, I think. I kinda like the way they look

I liked the way they looked too, when they first came out, till every other car I saw on the road was a TC, then I didn't think they looked that unique.
