Smile How to make my automatic tC faster, and louder!

I have a 2007 Scion tC. The exterior and interior and modded completely so everyone in it or next to it thinks that thing is a beast. In reality, its no faster than an old ford taurus. lol.

What are some things I can have done to make it faster, louder, and more torque. When I take off from a stoplight, I want to be pushed in my seat, not have my car sound like a baby electric razor and have old people passing me lol. I want to start it and have it roar like a really mad tiger, not like a hummingbird is flying by my ear.

So lists, prices, where to have it done? I'm not technical so do it yourself is a bit out of the question. I'd rather pay for the installation.

Everything in the engine is completely stock, exhaust is stock, but boy does it look furious.

Thank you!

My first thought is for you to just go buy a different car...

But on second thought, you probably shouldn't be driving anything... because it seems like you only want attention and may not even be able to handle anything with a decent amount of power (though I'm sure you think you can and would defend such an accusation).

Everyone THINKS they're a great driver... until they're proven horribly wrong.

QFT. Posts like this make me want to disassociate myself from the import scene all together.

The tC will only be more for looks. Most of the tC owners can not turbo or supercharge their cars and make it a race car. It is an economy car after all.

Get a turbo kit and a full 3 inch exhaust. That should do the trick

OMG!!!!!!......somebody needs to do more research before buying a car or how to modify a car,

but bascially it sounds like you want everyone to think your cool and have a fast car,no one will think that cause its a tc..

LMFAO!! everyone on here is so blunt and mean........that's why I LOVE getting on this forum!

OP, like ack154 said, you shouldnt be driving anything. you will get the wrong type of attention and not to sure if you could handle the car with a good amount of power in that motor. you'd have to do a lot to that car to get it as fast as you want since it's a automatic. second thought, you shouldn't even try to make the auto fast, you will end up with a blown transmission if you dont upgrade that too...

Ok, before this gets too far out of hand (partially my fault), I'm going to close this up.

OP, if you want actual answers to your questions, I suggest reposting your question in a more logical manner...
