Test drove an ss/tc

A couple days ago I test drove an ss/tc. I drove it by myself with no one else in it I took it on the highway and around some windy turns. To be quite honest with ya'll, I'm gonna keep my ss/sc. Sure there was a noticeable power difference but not enough to make me want one, and the handling and brakes feel exactly the same as my car. It's not worth it for me to trade my car in when I only owe 10 grand on it. Never-the-less, the ss/tc felt great.

TC is nice and all but... I still can't get over paying 3k over what I paid for my SS/SC. I mean brakes and the power is great but that's not what sells me.

well........... your logic makes sense and the ss/sc is a great car so I understand. I got my tc for 21k and some change out the door so it worked for me.

I would love to have a tc but it's not worth it for me to trade my car in on one. Have fun with your tc, it's a great car.
