Default just drove my new tc

My dealer colonial scion in ri just got my white 5spd tc in and the car is sick. I drove it for about half an hour today and will pick it up permanently on monday. I liked everything about except 2 things. 1. it was not as fast as i hoped and 2. the suspension was a little cushy.( it needs lowering springs anyway it sits way too high.)
Other than that it was one of the nicest cars i have been in. When we took it for a ride everyone who say it was like whoa. Some girl in an audi almost broke her neck checkin it out. It is just such a sexy ride.

So, aside from the way it, you know, drives, it's OK.

What in the hell? Talk about reading way to far into minor issues. As i said the body roll will be easily fixed by 150 dollar springs. And as far as the speed as i add an intake, header, ect it will get faster. I have yet to drive a car that comes with a stiff enough suspension and enough power from the factory sans ferrari,porche,or a lambo.

I love my Tc!!!!!

WHat in the hell talk about reading way to far into minor issues. As i said the body roll will be easily fixed by 150 dollar springs. And as far as the speed as i add an intake header ect it will get faster. I have yet to drive a car that comes with a stiff enough suspension and enough power from the factory sans ferrari,orche,or a lambo.

I love my Tc!!!!!
