I thought the same thing when buying a tC, "why mod this car it is sooo slow"". But after reading and seeing other tC modded it gave me the mod bug all over again.

The same can be said about an auto, yes it is slower than a manual but it is still fun to do.

 

In regards to a quiet exhaust, I would guess that you want an axleback. Precision Muffler is what you are looking for. Great price, DEAD silent unless you want to floor it a little. Give Gabe a PM. His name is Stylis here. Tell him Steve says hi!

 

8.5 sounds about right to me.

 

Steve say's,"Hi"



Tell him I said,"What's up!"

 

8.5 seconds sound about right. I don't know about other auto owners, but on dry pavement/cement I have been able to spin the tires all the way through first gear. Not only on one occasion, I have done it many times. Maybe why now at 20,000 miles I have to have my stock tires changed out.

 

Stop hating - sometimes it's the only car you can get. Let me see, Ronnie (gizmo) has a 245 WHP Auto that'll smoke you.

Anyways..... 8.5 is about right.

 

245 auto won't smoke me . but hey, i won't be using the TC to race a 245 hp auto.
