Just to clarify:

RSX type S... NO
Celica GTS... NO
Integra GSR... NO
Tiburon v6... NO
99-00 Civic Si... NO
H22 Prelude... NO

00+ Eclipse 4cyl... yes
00+ Eclipse 6cyl... probably not
Integra GS... drivers race
Celica GT... probably not
01+ civic SI... drivers race
RSX base... drivers race
all other Civics... yes
*-99 Eclipse GS/RS... yes
Mazda3 2.3L... drivers race

and if you drive an auto, change every one of those to NO

___

very true, but if you spend the extra money on performance upgrades to equal the base msrp of most of those cars you would kill them.

Agreed. Which is why I think I'm gonna buy the tC.

Point is I keep seeing these "tC vs. ___" threads, and some of them are getting ridiculous. Dudes saying their tc will walk a I/H/E GSR, or a Tiburon v6... come on

lets be real here. I used to say a true sports car is not a sports car unless it a MT. I used to have a MT. But will a MT make ur tC any noticeable faster? N O.

and for those of u that think ur a pro racer b/c u drive a MT. lol @ u.

1st off, yes these tc VS ____ threads are getting old. Second, im sick and tired of these people thinking their manuals are way better than the auto...im a decent driver, and i think i can beat, if not, keep up with half the manual drivers on this thread.

The only car I've EVER Heard of NOT being noticeably faster with a stick, is a Supra.

So chances are yes. The tC will be noticeably faster if it's MT.
