There's no way some kid in a Scion tC with fart can thinks he can beat a 370Z or 5.0 in a drag race... but I guess I shouldn't put it past some of the typical ricer owners. :/

Maybe it's just the demographics here (western WA). See in my experience, some people who drive the Scion tC's, Civics/Si's, etc think they have a rocket ship with wheels attached, or are so uninformed about cars that they think theirs is actually faster. They are the the root cause of the running jokes regarding V-TEC stickers adding 50 bhp per sticker and such
