Talking Is a Scion xB fast?
Last night I was out and I saw 2 Scion xB's (the box ones) weaving in and out of traffiic and generally acting like jacka$$es. They had custom paintjobs and were lowered/tint. I dont know what, if any, mods they had as they zoomed past me..easily going 60 mph on a 30mph street.

Anyways, are those Scions any match for our G35's..in any respect?? Everytime I see one they seem to be driving like they are trying out for the Fast and the Furious casting call... . For some reason their owners seem to be the most obnoxious on the road...does anyone else notice this??

More specfically...are they as fast as my car, a 2003 G35 sedan 5AT, and how do they compare to G35's in general??

They were weaving through traffic because those ice cream trucks are screwed when they slow down... it'll take them forever to get back up to speed...

no...not even close...even if they had a supercharger...Not to bag on them but our cars are semi sports...Lux-sports to be fair....The Scion will not be able to match our Topspeed...We will kill them...

illusion dont take these responds personally. these guys just trying to get some laugh out of their long boring days. Like they said, scion box gocarts are not even in our class. u could have taken them easily with drags from all windows down and running on half flat tires. their cars are in the 10k range, we are a higher breed.

I've noticed Scion drivers in general drive like jackarses. I think a lot of them have something to prove?
