LOL I got a good laugh on that forum...Is it me or did anyone else think that coryjames is a complete moron and knows nothing about cars? Oh by the way I think that Scions are pieces of ****.

I think your and idiot lol. Scions are no POS thats for sure. maybe not many people here are fimilar with them. they are a ricer lover car and thats what they are bred for, but THEY DO take well to mods actually and are way more reliable then any car mitsu has ever made. I drive a mitsu and would never trade it for a scion but they do desirve credit where due. They also do offer a supercharger as a factory aftermarket mod which is warrentied and usually supports 200WHP or so.

I agree with most of your statement but i wouldnt go as far as to callin scion a ricer car. Its a very nice car to start with if you want to get into moding.

Now I will tell you this an xB is slow stock and even with little mods its not that impressive performance wise but if you have the dough and are committed to the challenge an xB can be vey quick. My friends has ALOT of money invested into the motor, turbo etc. and he just dynoed it and the results came out to 280 hp to the wheels. Now 280 is ALOT of power for a car that only weighs roughly 1500 lbs and let me tell you when your in that thing, the acceleration and torque felt like i was in my old sti lol

Yes, investing money into a xb as far as engine performance to me just isnt worth it i mean if i wanted a performance vehicle i would have bought another sti or evo but the way i think is to each his own. I may not like 70% of the cars out there but each owner has his / her imagination so i support them 100%
