Oh yeah ricer at heart *LOL* That is why I build the most quiet clean looking cars around. Sleeper style baby! I just like cars that can turn and run down the 1320. I have owned many american cars, built many and still build many and will own another one very soon since I am getting a challenger green slipped in a few years since my family has worked for them for 35 years hahahaha!

well then maybe you just have something against mustangs... i would rather have a old nova those are probly my fav. but dont have enough expireance to restore one...

They may be ugly and yes they are, but for my 80 mile round trip commute to work each day, that ugly little hatch is starting to appeal to me like a sexy russian *****...

Naw I like mustangs allot, 3 good buddies in the mustang clubs and two of them have stangs in the 11's. I really like the early 90's models. Just responding to your comments is all *LOL*!

I drive 100 miles mon-fri round trip to work + usually once on the weekends.. avg $80 a week in gas on a car that get about 22 max highway miles/gal.. But like i said before you will never be happy if you have to drive something you hate, think is ugly, etc.. so even that extra 10-12 mpg would save me a couple hundred/month

I like both equally. They both have good sides and downsides. And I did not be any more neg than you were to imports *LOL* all good man. Anyways back on topic, yes the tc is VERY nice and can haul for what it is. With the sc I run consistant 14.3's right now and it was pretty cheap compared to most new cars! I also still get 26-28mpg freeway. If I went turbocharged like many, the car is a 13 second car all day, but I wanted throttle responce and man do I have throttle responce!

See now ur pics would of swayed me if i had never seen one before in person because there is such a diference in all the pics.. To me this is such a car that color can be the deciding factor.. Meaning make or break

Yes it can, the color of mine is called flint mica. Sometimes I wish I would have gone super white but still I love the color of my tc.
