As the 2009 Redline Time Attack season marches on, records continue to fall. This past weekend at Willow Springs International Raceway, numerous records were broken, beaten and shattered! In what could be one of the most impressive performances for a production-based vehicle, Billy Johnson, piloting the FX Motorsports Development Acura NSX, posted a mind numbing lap time of 1:18.555, around the 2.5 mile “Fastest Road in the West”, shattering the previous time attack Unlimited Class lap record of mid 1:22’s. Four other vehicles also either broke the existing record or came very close to doing so.
Taking 2nd overall at the event was Jonathan Bomarito piloting the Sierra Sierra Enterprises Mitsubishi EVO 8 with a time of 1:20.454, which locked up fastest overall in the Unlimited AWD Division. This was Jonathan’s first victory of the season and the team looks strong heading into Round 3 at Chicago’s AutoBahn Country Club. Finishing in 3rd overall was Tyler McQuarrie in the CWest/BC Honda S2000 with a time of 1:20.838, which is nearly 1.5 seconds faster than the lap record he just set a week prior.
Tarzan Yamada, driving the Crawford Performance Subaru STI landed in 4th position overall with a time of 1:22.097, knocking a couple seconds off the teams previous best lap time, securing 2nd place in Unlimited AWD. In what is quite possibly one of the most significant accomplishments in motorsports history, let alone time attack history, Chris Rado, driver of the World Racing Scion tC ran a blazing lap time of 1:22.623 in his FRONT WHEEL DRIVE vehicle. As of the writing of this press release, RTA officials have been unable to find a faster lap time recorded by a FWD vehicle in the history of Willow Springs Raceway. No doubt, the substantial re-work of the World Racing Scion tC during the offseason, including the massive front wing, put Chris Rado in a position to utilize is skill, piloting the car to a lap time that NOBODY that was physically possible.

Pretty? No.
Safe? It passed tech.
Visually, it seems to be at roofline level...

BTW I would never do that to a G, I would just go buy a cheap TC.  |
Huh? I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to say.
Stock for stock, of course the G is a superior car. I would hope so given that it costs more than double what a tC costs.
All I'm saying is that this is a dedicated race car. Then again, if you wanted a race car, you wouldn't have bought a G.
Bash the car all you want. This is a SERIOUSLY fast car. It will decimate exotics around tracks.
Just this last weekend, it ran a 1:22 at WSIR. For comparison a Viper ACR runs a 1:30. This is the same Viper ACR that holds the Nurburgring record for any production car. The GT-R runs a 1:31 on this track. A Porsche GT2 runs a 1:33.

Oh, and let me also mention that this tC is faster than any VQ/FM vehicle that has lapped WSIR.
