That's when I raised the BS flag.

now i talk about being Indian... u gonna say im BS about that too??? wtf?
im not insulting the SRT4... i just like my tC better. the srt4 doesn't even have power rear windows... thats how cheap built it is--- I know I know its so that we can get out if the car drowns
but mythbusters proved that the power windows work 50mins into being fully submerged in waterbesides there is so much pressure underwater that rolling down windows is impossible.
so i guess i am favoring the tC but there isnt much reason to bow down to the SRT4... its like a Twin turbo or sum geo metro, for ex. yea it may be fast but its still a geo... just like the srt is still a neon

I just dont see trading my tC in just because of the look of the back bumper. lol
does one look at the back bumper of his car or drive it?

lol you are so off topic it's scary trying to figure out your logic.
Read these lines and drop the whole issue:
1.) SRT-4 was brought into the convo because its cheap HP. I love my tC and wouldn't trade it for an SRT-4. The suggestion was for 20tCDude.
2.) You stated that a Stage 3 Mopar SRT-4 is not on the same level as a turbo'd tC at 8psi. You're right.. but you got it going the wrong way.
3.) Lets get back to topic.

We're in agreement - keep the tC.
CarbonXe - that would be funny if it was his brother the whole time.. owned again.

scionkidd - the world doesn't revolve around you. He was talking about 20tCDude05. His brother comes in here and messes up his rep/name all the time. It's freakin hilarious quite frankly.

This post is almost to epic status... And scionkidd has passed epic status *LOL*
Anyways rx8's are nice cars but mazda made a very poor decision not to boost the rotary. It is quite... gutless and pointless in stock form but overally a nice car. I cannot say I have driven a turbo rx8 but from the numbers, it is a very boring vehicle & I personally would much rather have the previous generation which was an amazing vehicle all around in every aspect.
