I've been doing some searching and I compiled this list just for fun. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

1. Subaru WRX STi = 300 HP ..............................MSRP: $32,000-$32,500 (est)
2. Nissan 350Z '06 = 300 HP ............................MSRP: $26,930-$34,668

4. Dodge Neon SRT-4 = 230 HP .........................MSRP: $20,450-$28,500
5. Toyota Supra = 220 HP ...................................MSRP: $24,100 (latest model '97/'9
6. Acura RSX Type-S = 210 HP ..........................MSRP: $23,845
7. Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS = 210 HP ......MSRP: $23,800-$28,267
8. Cobalt SS SuperCharged = 205 HP ................MSRP: $20,490
9. Volkswagon GTI = 200 HP ..............................MSRP: $21,990
10. Saturn Ion Red Line = 200 HP ......................MSRP: $19,425
11. Honda Civic Si '06 = 197 HP ........................MSRP: $20,190
12. Toyota Celica GT-S= 180 HP .......................MSRP: $17,670 - $22,335
13. Hyundai Tiburon = 176 HP ............................MSRP: $18,199
14. Toyota Corolla XRS = 171 HP .......................MSRP: $17,880
15. Scion tC = 160 HP .........................................MSRP: $16,940-$17,740

I'm just letting others know where the tC stands in comparison with other sporty cars. This may be helpful in helping nOObs out. Please feel free to contribute or correct any mistakes I have made. The prices may be different or not up to date. If you know for sure that you know the correct MSRP, then post it here and I'll correct it. Keep in mind that some of these cars have multiple models and trims. For example the Supra has the Twin Turbo motor that adds about 100 HP and SRT-4 with the Stage 3 upgrade.

we don't stand in a sport car comparasion.

Ok, seriously, how hard would it have been to find that information. In like 2 minutes, I've already found out that the VW GTI has 200 HP and starts at $21,990, and the RSX-S starts at $23,845.

who cares freudenfahrer. hes just posting some info no big deal. yea i can see the tc isnt to high up but thats why mods exsist.

THansenite

Then he just saved you 15 minutes of searching. Thanks TongMan

lludacrisboy

owned!!! by thansenite.. lol good job he did save us all 15 minutes of searching and making life easier by helping out fellow TC owners

Freudenfahrer

Yes, I wouldn't hava any problem with him posting this information, if he hadn't added "As you can see I need help on this list. Please feel free to contribute." Researching and posting a complete list would have taken all of 15 minutes, so why ask other people to do it so you have to wait even longer?

On a side note, where'd you get those numbers? Some of them seem a little off...

Thank you for correcting me.

Freudenfahrer

I'm curious as to why after I gave you the MSRP of the VW GTI, you instead used the MSRP for the Golf?

azurTC

Thanks for the list.

Skunk

Yeah some corrections definitely need to be made to that.

Evos are 286hp as of 2006. Likewise all 350Zs are now 300hp. The GTI doesn't start anywhere near $16k, etc. Also several of those cars have long since ended production and there MSRPs would need to be adjusted for inflation. Furthermore, cars like the tC, Si, GTI, etc. are not sports cars, and should not really be compared to such.

TongMan

Okay I am not trying to say that the tC is in the same category as all these cars. I am just saying that IF you want to compare the tC to any of these cars, it's there.

And, I am not perfect. If something is wrong just let me know.

Any other cars that you guys want me to add? Like the base RSX, Civic?

Freudenfahrer

quoted for restatement.

Also curious as to why you didn't change either of the 2 things that Skunk pointed out.

TongMan

I will.

EDIT: Done.

TongMan had it right the first time with the hp for the "06" Evo(286)
Price, was quite a bit off though.
