At the end it will always be your decision, but if you ask us, look at your poll

thanks for all the help! But the tC is going to stay, at least for a little while longer!

For starters, the whole back seat. It's amazing what a saws-all, plasma cutter, and welder can do for you. I've always thought it would be super fun to cram a boosted big block in there.

Your not gonna get any pu$$y with a beetle thats for sure.
Spoken like every man who lost 1/2 his crap in a divorce. Just something to think about


Forgot to add. Look up the term "terminal oversteer". It was especially prevelant in the Porsche 911 turbos. When going around a corner near limit, some owners would get scared and lift off the gas. Normally, not a bad idea. However, in a rear drive-rear engine, this leads to an automatic tailspin unless there are significant suspension enhancements to counter this movement. Isn't it amazing how "super fun" and "super dangerous" are so closely related

you better be kidding, a beetle would be so lame. you might as well spend the money on getting a turbo for your tc. then it would be fast and still look cool

Dude...you're 17....save money for a house or an apartment. Building a rice killer? HAHAHAHA. A sleeper is going to be pointless. If you are racing in the streets....then you risk being arrested and/or death. If you are racing at the drag strip......you just risk death but you blew your cover as a sleeper all to hell.

I guess if you have that kind of money to throw around at 17....go for it.

PS.... having a 9 second daily driver will SUCK!!!!
