That's a question that you need to limit a bit. If you have enough money, you could have a street drivable 700whp tC... it has been done, but it's gonna be HUGE money.

Come up with a budget first, then ask again. But to make a tC reasonably "fast", 275-300whp is a VERY quick tC, especially with the lightweight nature of the car. I think a 300hp tC with some sweet suspension setup would be more fun to drive than a 500+ hp, crap suspension tC.

Get back to me on the budget thing.

13's on street tires.....12's on some used slicks if you can drive

Have to buy allot of used parts to save $$$

You can go faster for less by using Nitrous....but your motor will live longer on boost (just depends on how often you use the nitrous....you have to be patient and have self control)

But you could put your car on a serious diet and put together a NOS setup that could get you low 12's high 11's...... again if you can drive for 3-4K

when you mean how fast, do you mean 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, lap times, top speed? fast can mean many things, you have to decide what you want to do with the car. just saying how much will it cost to be the fastest means nothing if you cant define what you mean by fast.

if it's top speed you want then you can just hang it up, the tc is no way near aerodynamic enough to handle really high speeds and lacks the gearing to do it.

the tc makes a good x-cross car, and can make some nice 1/4 miles times with enough money.
