that's exactly whats wrong with it, and you dont get much performance out of the 2 besides sound. bad enough how minimal the gains are for intake and exhaust on the tC is anyway.

haha, just race him...



at your local race track that is, cause we don't condone illegal street racing here on SL.


Whats the most you have to lose? Everyone knows tc's are slow to begin with...

Chances you will win are slim to none. TRD sounds nice but in reality it doesnt really give you much power gains. Even with the I/H/E set up it gives you little more HP. Those buicks have a big engine...

Nobody hates on the TC, we just don't believe its some whimsical unicorn that goes from zero-60 in no time flat. It is what it is, it isnt fast and it takes a lot of work/money to make it fast. I/H/E are nearly pointless on most n/a cars.

BTW, I drive a tc.
