FAST.

lol, I tested one the day it came out, and SHIIIT..... MUCH faster than my xB.

Hell, I tested the 5spd, and it got sketchy going into 2nd, and believe it or not, i had torque steer, and lil' bit of a tire squeel going into 3RD!!!

I want one badly.

I'll stick with my box for now.... hehe.

p.s. I'm buying another car for my birthday this year, no TC, but you all wait and see ;) hehe

LATE.

Anyone that describes a TC as fast has never been in a fast car. My only complaint about the car is lack of power. Then again, I'm use to driving a 520hp car, so it was expected.

I am just about turning 17, and am looking to get this as my first car at the beginning of August. I am not lookin for a drag racer, I just want a fun, stylish car that I will ENJOY driving. So far a Flint Mica or Black tC is lookin good ! I mean I used to be a big fan of the STi... That is until I saw what a 17 yr olds insurance would have been !
I like the spacious room and the interior lighting with the black lights and LED are just a bonus to my "fun" factor... If and when I get my tC Ill let yall know!

So too... I have about 2k of my own money that I could put into my car if and when I feel the urge to do so, I was thinking about adding some power to it but I dont know if I really need or want to do so... Might just keep adding audio stuff to it...

Hey NICK@AGP....

I don't know if u saw what I wrote, but I said that its faster than my xB...not the Fastest car on earth...lol

Some people need to learn how to not be asses over the internet just because they have a computer screen to hide behind. I bet ya, half of the a-holes on the internet, WOULDN'T dare say some of the stuff they do to people if they actually told this person in real life.

lol...

So, what 520hp car do you own?

p.s. I'm buying a 2004 Yamaha R-6 this september for my birthday, and I've ridden FAST bikes before. So believe me, I sure KNOW what fast is...

Anyone who describes a 520 horsepower car as fast has never been in a fast car. Then again, I'm used to driving a 840 horsepower car. I win.

A Carrera 4S can't have boost... that is a normally aspirated car... sorry to poke holes in your fun...
