This would most likely be better for the "Other Cars" forum but who goes in there?

In my opinion for the amount of money they want for the same features our car comes with standard, the tC is way more worth it. Also I dont like the interior at all.
After solving a lot of ifs, it might be. Like if the crank and rods are up to the task, if the block is up to the task, if the fuel system is up to the task, etc, etc,. Cheaper to just buy a Supra and crank on the boost.

But I bet a twin turbo on that V6 would do amazing things
that would be amazing, however what isn't amazing is the amount of power going to the front wheels, lol. Can we say...torque steer

what would also be amazing is the strength of ur biceps after dealin with said torque steer.. still be fun tho

Just thought I would bring this up. There's already been a recall for that car

perfect. i love brake failure.
brake failure is secks on wheels, but it has to be when ur facing a large obstacle or stopping traffic
I'm that one vote for, "Other;" I think the car looks nice, but it's too heavy for my tastes. My vote would be along the lines of, "Nice but too pudgy."

wow ease up guys, i like the car. I hate how everyones favorite thing is flaming over what they don't have. Video games, cars, everyone always makes what they don't or can't have seem worse then it is. i picked the tc over the mitsu, but i bet someone prefers the eclipse and will buy that. it doesn't bother me. I dont even pretend to compete with an eclipse when it comes to power, but my car was a better value and is more practical which is why i chose it. people talk about how they don't like certain aspects of expensive cars, but if both were the same price, would you chose a scion tc over a g35? it kind of bothers me how sports illustrated's favorite hobby is complaining how much sports stars make, when it is their money they are getting. Its not ridiculous that people are making that much money, when all america idolizes is money and talent. its not up to us to judge people for the money they donate, we have to many of our own faults to do that. also in the audio section, im a total n00b but this forum is designed to help people not flaunt over them. just answer peoples questions when they ask not scream at them to use a search. tell them too nicely and they will.

well now that that is over, keep rollin guys

^^^ I've said this already, but there is no world in which I would take a G35 over a tC. I don't think that means I'm "flaming" the G35 -- I just don't happen to like it. I just wanted to point out that not everyone likes the same thing.

Now, make it a brand-new MkIV Supra TT or an Aston-Martin V12 Vanquish, and bye-bye tC!
(Actually, I'd still probably keep the tC as a daily driver, but you get the idea.)

My sentiments exactly. The Supra has a stable mate (in fact two stable mates, both tCs), but I wouldn't sell the Dawg to buy the Infiniti. It's just not in the same league. Few cars are. My next "fun" car will have a prancing horse on the hood...I might (only might) sell the Supra for that.
im right there with u , that will be my next fun car. wish i could do it now, but degree comes first
very little should ever come before a ferrari.
^^^ Ever driven a Vanquish?
No, but I'd still take the Ferrari over any British made car. I just don't trust them to do it right (with the exception of the McLaren F1...). My favorite spec from the F1: 0 - 100 in 6.7 seconds. Quicker than most bikes. More top speed than anything but a turbo Busa. Gotta love that kind of stuff!

Of course, that said, I'd hate to try and drive it in traffic.
ohhh but i do enjoy british racing green
if it didnt have a v-6 it would be crap
