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.

You can't say "take out 4 plugs" because that's not how my car came. Like I said it's not my problem that you're modding a car that isn't as strong as mine in stock form, so it's not fair for you to compare a fucking 500HP 4 cylinder to a stock V8.

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.
okay look at msrp on a srt-4 vs the tc!tc comes in on average 5-6k cheaper and with that 5-6 will make more power than the srt will with the same 5 k invested on top of its higher msrp

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.

So you're saying you can't spend 5k on a SRT-4 and get it to make over 500hp? Has someone actually told you this or are you just making it up as you go along?

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.

No this thread turned into shit when you said this:

No one ever stated that an LS1 was almighty compared to a tc. But you had to go say some shit like that.

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:

You're not boosting now, so please don't call me out.

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.
