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
