and check out the 426 WHP tC. Man that makes me melt. You can bring on all the sr20 and 350 action you want and still not stand up to this monster.

you dont know much about the SR20DET if you truely think that.

And on the fact that people can't drive their cars I beat an Acura RSX with a type R engine swap.....I know for a fact I shouldn't i have beat him....Im beginning to think people here talk way too much.

You did fine.. the times weren't horrible. Dont let people try to bring your driving down. Just take the constructive tips and ignore the rude comments... the times will get better and better with time. That is the only way to get better.. to just do it over and over! Most people on the street I have seen in "tuner" cars cant do it any better, so dont worry. You have seen proof of that if you are beating cars that are admittedly faster than ours! A lot of people think they are much faster than they are because they race average drivers and have not had actual times taken.

Thats right. If you want a race car out of the box.. then spend 30,000 or more on a 350z. If you like taking a base model with a solid lbottom end and building something of your own.. then the tC is the way to go right now!
