Default Newb Question

Ive been reading the forums latly wondering Since the srt4 and the evo is a 4 banger why cant the tC become just as good as them? I know the other cars have turbochargers which is something that is available for our cars already but my question is i keep reading about the slip differential whatever its called. Is that something we can put on our cars? Sorry for the dumb question guys just dont know much about cars

I don't know if there is any kind of LSD upgrade available for the tC yet, but basically it allows you to get power to both wheels, even during a loss of traction (ever start off fast and have just one wheel spin away). I’m sure the tC can be made as fast (good and fast are two different things) as the cars you mentioned. It really comes down to what you are willing to spend, and how fast you want to go.

The TC has the potential to be a great tuner car. There are currently not any LSD upgrades avaiable yet but stay tune as we have been working with quaife and there should be a prototype soon. You can go with a adapter piece that several companies offer we just don't like this setup.

Comparing these car to anything you need to rember overall cost. The TC offers a 5k dollar saving over the SRT-4 and a 10k dollar saving off the evo. If you put the saved money into mods you will have one very potent TC.
