tC upgrades

So I'm getting a 2006 scion tC manual here in a few Weeks.was wondering if I could get it down to 5.5 seconds 0-60 without any huge changes to my transmission or my engine without blowing it or anything.... Is it possible and with what upgrades? Thx

To answer your question, it can't be done. the cheapest possible way to do this is with nitrous oxide and drag radials, but your engine won't like that for very long.

Just get the car, enjoy it and when you have money, buy a faster car, because inevitably, you'll mess this car up, multiple times because it sounds like you want to drive fast, and you really don't have the experience to do it. get the car, try to keep all the wheels on the pavement. practice driving at autocross.
