Default 300hp tC's

Toyota's high-performance arm is already working on a 300-horsepower package of parts for the lunatic fringe.

They seem to have liked it.

Yes but as a dealer option its just turn the key and go=reliable. Not lopey cams, too much anodized aluminum rice & wires spilling out from under the hood.

a dealer option will be overpriced and underpowered. If I can get it up to 280whp safely with only having to maybe get a better clutch and not pay over 3,000 then I'll get it.

I think that review/preview is horribly innacurate. If I remember correctly it had some of the most random false information that I had seen about the tC.

I severely doubt TRD will take the tC to heighs of 300hp. Have we seen TRD give an engine near that size a 140hp gain before? Or anything close?

if this is a dealer option then it will be fully covered under warranty.
