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

apparently, shes not... you should not have won. car weighs the same as a tc, makes 20ft/lbs more torque, 15 more hp, and is geared better...

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.

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.
