Corolla XRS versus Scion tC

[AirFlow]

Which is faster? "Winning" advantages of the XRS over the tC and vice versa. Just want to know...

[Jake25]

from the numbers the XRS is faster

the tC will prob. pull for 1-2 cars and then the top end on the XRS will probably pass up the tC

[AirFlow]

I see. So the XRS is more on the top end power? How about handling? Which is better?

[Razo-E]

probably the XRS...

i heard the tC undesteers quite a bit...

after 2nd the tc is looking at tail lights...the xrs handles much better due to less weight...HOWEVER...there is more potential with the tc engine then with the 2ZZ...some of the modded tc's out there are awesome...

TC looks very Pontiac G6 like from the back. TC has a supercharger while XRS does not so that is bonus for TC. Stock on stock, XRS owns the TC in straight line acceleration and around the race track without a doubt. XRS has more power and weighs approx. 500 lbs less than the TC ( 2670 vs 3120 lbs on TC), which essentially takes out any low end torque advantage TC has. As for handling XRS has a much better road holding than TC despite smaller wheels ( 16 inch rims and 195 vs 17 inch rims 205s on TC). With equal size wheels, I see XRS get close to 0.87 on the skidpad. XRS road holding 0.83 lateral g on a 300 foot skidpad and TC pulls off a 0.81 lateral g on a 300 foot skidpad (Car and driver). You can throw around XRS in the corner and around the road and it will keep composed while TCs heavy weight backfires. TC is a nice sporty torquey car around the city with a good pep while XRS on the other hand is an aggressive, hard edged sport sedan that wakes up when you really mean business otherwise, drives in a quiet and sedated mode.

except the supercharger doesn't come from factory.
