Whats wrong with a miata? One of the best handling cars for the money.

 

Having owned both an 07 tc which i traded for an rx-8 i have to say the rx-8 is a joy to drive. I never really appreciated front wheel drives. IMO rear wheel drive cars are much funner to drive. The TC is ok for what it is but i would rather have an older rx-8 than a new TC.

 

 

actually a modified tc will spank an 8 in the low due to torque but once the 8 is in 2nd its pretty much done with and the tc has no chance anything up top/hp the tc runs out of breath quickly.

 

hmmm.... street or track?





ban him

 

from modernracer.com:

tC:
Top speed : 127 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 7.5 sec.(manual)
0-¼ mile : 15.7 sec @ 88 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 125 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.81 g

RX8:
Top speed : 148 mph(electronically limited)
0-60 mph : 5.9 sec.
0-¼ mile : 14.5 sec @ 95.6 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 114 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.88 g

The RX8 stomps the tC in every single category. The tC isn't even a sports car....it's a low budget Toyota. It looks ok and has some great options, but is NOT anywhere near the same league as the RX8 and its competitors (350Z, S2000, etc).

I have an 8 with 82000 miles. Have had NO issues with it, still runs the same way I got it 2 years ago with 32000 miles.

Get the 8. If you want a fun driving experience, there's no better car.

 

according to edmunds true cost to own the 8 is not that much more than the tc.

 

street. legitimate quarter mile heads up from a dig.

ban me for what?

his car with NA mods was producing the same whp on a lighter car with much more torque.

 

ban you for street racing.

while im sure everyone here does it at times, talking about it is VERBOTEN! because we dont promote street racing.

 

Dont talk about street racing.....mmmaaannnn.

 

who said it wasn't a sanctioned race on a private road...

 

I dont own one yet, but im looking forward on getting one!
He should just look into 05 IS 300....

 

Im a newb and hoped this thread would die

 

I R DRiVE Femalez carz!!@

 

 

okay that is 100% bs cause i took a TCwith the SAME setup by more than a car in my 8 and there is no way the TC is getting 180WHP just from and exhaust, intake and headers ... MAYBE 180HP to the crank but that wouldnt even touch an 8

 

you have 2 choices TC, you either loook













or you get all the hot

 

you are extremely ignorant, i know a few people that have gotten 180 to the wheel. FULL exhaust makes a big difference in that car, combined with an intake and a hint of tuning and 180 wheel is easily accomplished. it is very feasible that a car with the same WHP as an 8 with a lighter body will beat it. not beat by much, but beat.

 

wtf get an RX-8. Say no no to a TC.

 

The tC uses a Camry engine... Good ole 2az engine from the sixth generation Camry. My friend always makes fun at my mpg and I'll always say that "tC" is an acronym for Toyota Camry. Good ole 2az engine from the sixth generation Camry.

 

Ok, the tC makes 161 crank horsepower. With drivetrain loss, it's probably doing like 120whp. You are saying that an intake and exhaust + some tuning will give it an instant 60whp? Smells like bullshit to me.

 

this has to be a joke post. because this whole post made me laugh

 

LOL! i honestly cant believe this thread is still getting hype

 

this is just getting retarded, somebody close this thread

 

Hay guyz, if I put an exhaust and cold air intake on my focus, can i beat the new mustangs?!??????!?
