DeDMembraInE · 10-21-2009, 10:08 PM

Iv seen YouTube videos of people street racing and getting their box up to 145... Mine only goes 112 and quits, I dont redline so Im thinking I can push more but I cant.. Is there a "Gov Chip" that I need to take out or something?? Im sick of racing n gettin beatin.. An effin Volvo passed me up n I got an AEM CAI n custom exhaust.. C'mon!! Someone help me get to 145!!

Save the racing for the track. Seriously, yes street racing can be fun, but to you really want to risk killing somebody? You also have to watch out for the skill of the other driver. If they lose control and kill someone, you're on the hook for manslaughter or 1st degree murder as well. Not worth it. Take it to the track and race in a controlled environment, that's the only way to do it bro!

awinter couldnt have said it better. the cops already target us, why give em even more reason to.

Black_Box · 10-22-2009, 02:06 AM

cops do patrol sites like this.....and they shut stuff down when people start talking about street racing and speeding....no one buys a xB with the intentions of going fast...lmao...its not a lambo by any means

ketchup_xb · 10-22-2009, 02:31 AM

some xbs have lamebo doors though. but thats besides the point lol.

Black_Box · 10-22-2009, 02:32 AM

......wow.......some have alower roof to reduce the drag coefficient for fast speeds!!!

DeDMembraInE · 10-22-2009, 01:06 PM

All this said, I'd still like to bring it up to 145. I only punch it when some jackass is really ridin my ass. I know it's still not the smartest thing and I try not to, but you know sometimes your just in that mood. I'd like to bring it on the track at shows I go to and legally race against othe xB's and possibly win some money.. So, again, does anyone know how to do it?

145, haha. Money, more displacement+beefed long block, boost, transmission, nitrous (make it easier), tires, and so on....

elusive_xb · 10-22-2009, 09:33 PM

uh.... i got my xb2 to 131mph when the EMT's took my wife for a ride to the hosp. mine is an 08

joey17 · 10-22-2009, 09:59 PM

the gov is there for a reson and its so people dont blow there moter you cant just take it off and expect it to do 145. i have a awd talon with 30 lbs of boost tuned for e85 ect ect and at the track im only doing 146-148. so it will ake you alot of moeny to hit 145. youwant a fast car buy a evo or sti and keep it on the track.

BlackKnight · 10-23-2009, 08:11 AM

Don't know what is slowing you down, but I've had my 09xB above 120...

08swXb · 10-31-2009, 04:31 PM

I've just got the trd intake ans I've hit over 125mph

DeDMembraInE · 10-31-2009, 07:00 PM

That's depressing, idk why I can't go faster..

azztinthebox · 11-01-2009, 11:16 PM

ummmm its a box, why would a box need to go fast. You want speed get an aerodynamic capable car. If your wanting to race your xb hit up some autocross tracks the xb will amaze you with its handling capabilities. Oh and don't hate on volvos they are a hidden secret, much like vw passats so watch out for them.

kingburger · 11-04-2009, 01:17 AM

i smell trollin'

xbsrt4 · 11-05-2009, 04:58 PM

Dude you drive a scion XB. Fast and XB shouldnt be used in the same sentence.

O6er · 11-15-2009, 06:39 PM

Yes very true. In reality we are all gear heads who love fast cars. All the same if you have bought an xB you are more attracted to style, originality, and appearance. I have had cars before that I cared if they were washed or not, though since my xB; I can't stand a smidge on the windshield if I missed a spot. So moral of the story, Put the money into your lights, suspension, graphics and paint. Drive safe so you don't get judged by 12 or carried by 6.

xtylerx · 11-15-2009, 07:21 PM

^^ True dat. I don't think I've ever had mine over 90.
