i'm getting one as my next car even if it takes 7-10 years!
Don't waste $30,000, buy a Corvette instead...

back when i first got my tC coming up to school with it...there was this red C5 drop top speeding with me...we rolled to a light...he was behind me...the guy stopped in the right turn lane said to "see what u got" cuz the old corvette driver obviously was in the racing mood...light turns green i take off and this corvette is wheelspinning past me on the shoulder like a bat out of hell...i was half way through second by the time he passed me and i doubt he left first gear as he passed me...theres no comparison between the two types of car...but it is kinda funny trying to draw some stats that make it look like our cars can "take" a 5.7 litre...

That's really sad the the old guy in the Corvette had to smoke a 4-banger just to make himself feel good.

(He probably just got beat by an Evo and had something to prove)

That is hilarious!! You actually tried to race a Corvette I would only suggest trying to race on while already going at least 50mph but even then you will probably lose

I think it isn't as much of a race but an exhibition ;)

So can we expect to see, "tC vs Corvette" and "tC vs Viper" threads here soon?

No, but, I've driven my one of my co-workers/buddie's new C6 and there's no way I'm going up against it. It's a fun ride for sure.

Seriously dude! Those things are monsters! B4 my Xa, I had a fully modded Civic Hatch with a H22a(Prelude engine).... One night i was cruising home on the I5 going north from Irvine to LA, when this 3rd gen accord wants to play... so we go... no doubt, left him behind like nothing.. till we passed this C5... that damn thing starts to pick up speed and cruise next to me at lik 85mph... I down shift ... took off and that damn thing caught up like almost instantly.. passes me... like itz not even trying!

I turned around and see this guy eating some kinda hot dog while he smokes my H22 Civic!! i mean seriously.. WTF?!?

^^^ Agreed. What's next?

My tC is faster than a Maserati
My tC is faster than an Enzo Ferrari
My tC is faster than an Evo9 MR

I'm sure you could find where 1 single stat beats any one of these cars. My tC has more rear leg room and owns all of the above
