I'd have to agree with lo bux, I just recently upgraded the tires to BFGoodrich g-force sport's and all I have to say is.... WOW! Ride quality is a hell of a lot better than with the stock tires, handling is a hell of a lot better, and I don't freak out during the freak rainstorms that are quite commonplace in the south!

When I first got the tC I went on a roadtrip from Alabama to Oklahoma (turned out to be a bad idea due to other reasons), and I'd have to say I enjoyed it. While driving at a higher RPM in 5th gear is kinda annoying, it's a lot better on long trips than the Rav4 (but not as good as the 97 Avalon XLS, that's just a friggin land yacht). Personally when I drove the redline it just didn't do it for me. As I said, g'luck with the redline!

Friend of mine owns a SRT-4... has had to replace the boost gauge (under warranty) over 5 times already, it's been in the shop for weeks at a time, and has occasional problems with boost leak (which a 1 week drop-off at the dealer fixes for a month or two). The fact that it is under warranty and already has these problems is what scared me away from a SRT-4.
