my friend happens to know that guy (Chris) and he called him regarding that car. To tell u the truth, it's isnt that great and tCs are slow. Sorry to tell u this, but it's the truth and you just gotta accept it. I mean putting a turbo or sc ain't gonna do too much either since it's got a stupid toyota camry's VVT-I 2.4 lit engine.
By the way, I own a tC as well and I do race once in a while but except winning those honda losers(except S2000 and NSX), tCs seem to have trouble even beating the Intergra, RSX or even Prelude although it's possible.

So.. except the fact that it looks awesomely pretty for a car(which everybody's copying it now, like the 06 Civic Si, Pontiac G6, and others), it's not that much of a performance car. So let's not even talk about beating the WRX, Altima, or Evo.

altima? You must be talking about the v6! Bear in mind, for the price range, it is at the top of the performance charts!

Uh. Dude. Yeah. Altima's not that quick of a car.
The evo is a 30,000 dollar car. It's not even remotely in the same class.
And the WRX... Eeeeh. Some are fast.

well, although the tCs do seem slow compare to these cars, I do have to say its' pretty much the top for its class. (the price especially)

Then explain to me how there is a 320+ turboed tC running 12.5 sec 1/4's on that very same "stupid" engine, and thats on a stock bottom end. Thats better straight line performance than a evo, wrx, altima, gto, m3, 350z, srt-4, and the list goes on. Sorry to tell you this, but it's the truth you just gotta accept it.

You can't compare a STOCK tC to an integra (gsr), rsx, or even a prelude. It's got less hp than all three, weighs more than the integra and rsx and a prelude (depending on what year) has a good amount of hp with a good size engine (2.2). Now if you do some modifications like that 12sec tC out there, you'll start roasting cars left and right. And to think that's on the stock block, that's potential right there.
