How do the tires smoke for that long and not have a blowout?
The driving is impressive.

Only way to have a scion and it not me lame.

Put a nascar motor in it.

Haha you say that, yet I know local people with Scions with the Inline 4 bored out, sleeved, slap on a garrett turbo with hydra standalone engine management putting out well over 400 hp & tq to the wheels. Those are some street cars to drive now... I drove a tC for a while, never did any engine mods but still an awesome car.

In fact, I met Chris Rado and the dude in that video at a scion car show in vegas a few years ago. It was quite awesome until the valet's that the show organizer hired took some vehicles for joy rides and rolled two and broke shocks and wheels on a few others. Thats another story.

TRD... that explains the 600HP
