this has probably been posted, but i havent been on in a while. Car and Driver got the tc to a 7.4 0-60 and a 15.7 quarter mile @ 88 mph. the top speed (limited) is 127.

 

Stock Version? Supercharged?

goddam, 7.4seconds.... theres plenty of cars hit that, but all of them are atleast 2k-3k dollars more...

cars that cost 18-22k usually hit 0-60 at 7.5 seconds(besides the SRT-4), plus more cash for optional items such as moonroof (that standard tC), 6 speakers (standard tC), MP3 player (standard tC)


plus the tC is 2.4L, 160hp at $15950???? wtf thats cheap... 160hp cars are usually 18k-22k. and they dont got the extra stuff that tC got...

 

hmm i wonder what the quarter mile would be at top speed...

 

Just over 7 seconds.

 

Anyone know what the Auto does?..........yes I'm gettng an auto but only because I drive in the city all day as part of my job.....(no pizza delivery)

Beside I'm really getting it for its style.....

 

.5-1 second slower generally in quarter mile times but thats general thru out

it could be less but i doubt its more

 

lol me too. I might get a manual i still have alot of time to decide. maybe after I see some s/c dyno charts of both types of transmission.

 

ehhh i thought someone took a picture of them going 140

 

manual or auto.

 

i believe that pic was taken when first starting the engine, the guages sweep at the start.

 

manual

 

or u could spend 20k and get a 6.0 0-60 car in the srt-4

 

...and get a neon...? :?

hey, was that 0-60 manual or auto? it seems kinda slow for manual i think.

 

last time im saying this


MANUAL


2900lbs+ 160/163
not slow at all

 

anyone scanned the magazine article yet? i wanna see it but cant find it at a local albertsons. 7.4secs sounds good for a 16K car

 

well i tell you what. the first thing that needs to come out is a ECU flash to remove the raise the rev limiter and get rid of the govener. that is retarded. i had my copper flashed like the secod day i got it, it used to top out at 135 now that is is gone. i took it out to a top speed run on a 5 mile strech of highway and hit 159.4MPH , that was a trip to go that fast.

 

manual, when all mags test cars they test it in manual (if possible) and considering the s/c isnt coming out for months, its obviously n/a. those times are quite good for that car. i was pleasantly surpised and i was having my doubts. the civic si is slower along with the normal civic and base mini cooper (i love the s but its over 20k).

 

sorry man... just replied without looking
