Anyways, isn't the supposed SC option for em that could possibly come out 1 day like a 4,000 dollar option?
true- but the person in question does not WANT to turbo the car, so in his case this car may be good for him...the SC is pointless, doesn't add enough hp to be worth 4gs, and besides its been put off and delayed so much I don't even know if it's coming out anymore...
regardless, the tc is not slow and responds really well to aftermarket upgrades should that be what the owner chooses to do- yes for 3gs more you could have a faster car from the box, but some people prefer to do everything from the ground up, and some people prefer looks over functionality so its all personal preference... the tc would be a really fun turboed car, but as you said, for the money you could get something already turboed or something older w/ lots of upgrades, which is what I am going back to... there just isnt enough "proven" turbo stuff out there on the tc yet-jotechs 533whp one is promising, but that thing is so built its beyond any "normal" person's capable means
