scion tc
There's nothing wrong with a challenge. People act like my car doesn't deserve respect if it runs 11's. I'm in the same game you guys are just with a different platform. It's not my fault that people choose to start off with weaker platforms.

And I said I respect any car that deserves respect. You're barking up the wrong tree here.

It's funny because both of those cars you mentioned (LS1 and SRT-4) can be made fast for cheaper than a tc. WAY cheaper.

Ok reality check.
Who's going to buy a Scion tC and dump 5K into it immediately? Probably no one. By the time they get around to it you can find an SRT-4 with the same mileage on the scion for just a cheap.

Look, seriously, stop now. Just walk away from the thread. We know you like the tC for some reason, but you trying to justify it with baseless claims is not going to convert anyone.

I never compared my stock V8 to your stock car. I told you not to compare a 500HP boosted tc to a stock LS1 or SRT-4 which you blatantly did in the above quote.
And sure I'll run you, but this might pose a problem:

I wish you luck on your quest and keep us updated. I do like Scion tC's and I'd like to see a boosted one in the area.
Goodluck.
