You mean a TC tuned and fully bolted? You have some significant mods there son.

what are you doing in Walmart on saturday morning??

shouldn't you be sleeping in like just about all of the rest of us??



I mean I can see needing to be places in the morning... but walmart?
you had better be working there.

I tried to push the point in my last post;

most thread s like this turn into a name calling (ect.) fest - I like it when people can have fun

to sum it up, any way you slice it;
  • these cars are very much alike - actually more alike, than diferent
  • on average, one of these cars is cheaper, and the other is faster (stock for stock)

there's no way around those two points.

I just see no need for competition here about which is better...

If your SC had recaro's ( Which I liked better than my TC seats) I would take that deal ....... Then I would take the 5K and swap a 3076 into it and destroy a "tuned" TC lol.

haha yea I am just trying to get my point across, I have spent less money on my car with all my mods than a tc costs alone and I am fully confident that as long as it is on the stock turbo a tc could not beat me.

There is no winner in this debate ...... Both have their strengths and weaknesses , I just hate seeing comments about how one is so much superior to the other ..... and that usually comes from misinformed TC owners.

Yes the TC is easier to make 300WHP with what it came from the factory with..... but for what you can buy a used SC for now ..... you could have a 425- 450WHP LSJ for what you would pay for most used LNf's.

I have an SC and I wish that it was TC. I've drove the TC's and they're wayyyy better in my opinion.

If I were to get a sc or tc I would stick with the sc because it has better reliability, more potential/parts, and overall just a great car
