Some of you guys are such haters. TC's are as quick, or quicker than I expected them to be. They're not supposed to be a racecar, what do you expect?

Funny that you mentioned. I was having some fun with my two tC friends. We were going one behind each other at 40mph or so....left it in 3rd gear because I know a 2 lane open road was up ahead, when it came, first tC opened up, then the second, then me...I quickly moved to the right, passed the tC in front of me as I shifted to 4th, walked him, caught the first one, passed him, shifted to 5th and let off. It was funny because I sort of expected and didnt do anything to my friends to irritate them like acting like a douche by laughing or something, just simply gave them the peace sign and parted ways since I needed to make a right turn...when I did that, I looked over and to my surprised he was flipping me off lol that reminded me of the stories I read here of the sore losers...then the other came by and flipped me off TOO LMAO ...it was priceless. Oh well. Just thought I would share.

tCs are good reliable cars, none of my friends have had any problems with them...

Why even bother racing a TC? I guess if the guy was asking for it then alright My wife has one, an 08. She didn't but it cause it's fast, she bought it because it looks decent, was super cheap, and has a factory I-pod dock in the center console that also recharges the i-pod...that was important to her.

I'd say what you have is more than enough. That's awesome!
