Default hey got some questions

ok so im considering getting a scion tc i think they look pretty cool but ive driven about three of them and i want a faster car. So i was woundering what i would have to do and around how much it would cost to get the scions 0-60mph around six secounds. Ive already checked out the TRD supercharger and sall on many sites that even with that it only does about 7.2sec so im guessing a turbo? would be better? and how much would everything cost and what would i need? thanks guyz

NOS can help too, but just as in boosting, it can be overdone in excess causing motor damage. You can also work it from a different angle and shed weight from the car. A fully built and stroked N/A motor can get you there too, but way expensive.

I would have to agree with you NAVY on the " way expensive" part...
Remember that FWD cars are pretty diffecult to make grip, unless you're willing to spend hefty money on traction (LOL!!! we're back on the whole traction thing again; navy)
Let me ask you a question; How much are you willing to spend? b/c I know that NAVY can tell you, you can spend ten's of thousands making a tC run hard... then again you can do that with just about any car...

I/H/E, lightweight pullies and flywheel, and put your tC on a diet and you can make it closer to your mark. Maybe in 6 months or so, I will have a set of custom bumpsticks for ya'll to play with. As Idiaz28 stated, traction is the name of the game off the line. A good set of tires can help.
