Default Leaving th TC world.

I'm selling my car and forever leaving the Scion community.
I don't hate the TC, I actually have had a good time with it.
But I have come to the conclusion, the power I want, will cost way to much to achieve.
So next week I am buying a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4.
320HP, all wheel drive, twin turbo.
Can't get any better than that.

Lol, I know there are better things, but I have always wanted one, and now I have the opportunity to get one, so I am taking it.

Yeah there are two around me, one black, and one red. the red one is a 92, but they both have the same miles on it and same price, it just comes down to if I want the pop up lights or the regular ones.

Hey a kid i know at college has one also. He's been modding it for years now on his own with the help of friends and is pushing over 600hp. The thing is sick but the body on his could use some work. Its got some rust. But all his money and time have gone into the engine and tuning. Good luck with yours man. Keep us posted on how it is and drives man.

Damn, you're right about it being heavy. I checked the specs... I thought the tC was heavy, but the 3000 GT weighs almost 800 lbs more!

Still, I'm not so sure about a turbo tC being it.

I can understand that the 3000GT is a powerhouse. But I would not trade a new Scion for a used GT as nice as it may be.
