Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

At least then you're paying for something somewhat tangible. Rather than paying to simply be considered, and for most schools, rejected.

Lucky bastard. I went to a relatively inexpensive school and it was like buying a nice used car twice a year. Or an entry new car once a year. :(

A friend of mine has a 2009 Scion TC VVT-i

 

It's basically a 2 door Corolla. If that's your thing, go for it. If you ever need more than 2 people in your car, or ever want subwoofers. Look elsewhere

I'll go ahead and hint that my car currently doesn't understand the concept of back seats.

Most of the time a 98 Z28, but occasionally a 99 Miata that is pretty fun but so small it removes practicality.

If you can deal with the no speed and small room. I'd recommend it

 

The TC is a 9 second car to 60, in good conditions
