Question tC owner looking @ a S/C SS.

Hey everyone. I own a '06 tC and well... I don't like it too much. lol. My cousin has a NON-supercharged SS. It's an auto (as well as my tC) and it feels slow and boring. Just for fun a test drove a Scion xB at 103-105 HP with MANUAL and and it felt tons better than my auto tC and my cuz's auto ss.


So I KNOW manual is the only way to go from here on out. I know I'll only get around 16-17K for my tC. I have a lot of **** in it. And spending 22K on a new S/C SS is a little pricey.

But I looked on autotrader.com and found 3 RED S/C SS's for 17K, 18K, 19K. They all have low milage. But... they're RED. I REALLY want BLACK...

I know you can't have everything.. but BLACK is so nice. This is my story.


Any comments/suggestions are welcome!


Thanks.

Unless you have the hustle to put in a Turbo kit and you want the best performance get the SS S/C. The 2.4's look to be mean once they get the turbo going but until then you want a S/C. You'll kick yourself if you don't. If you're not performance oriented and don't want to touch anything get the 2.4, great car.

it's not always about the fastest car stock... if someone wanted something that was stupid quick stock, trust me, they would not be getting a ss/sc
