So Toyota comes out with the TC, everyone bashes it.

I'm surprised myself.. I like the TC's if that helps! They have definitely made a bigger splash in this scene then mine has lol

It's FWD 2.4ltr.. I think it is the same motor in the SRT-4's without the turbo though obviously. Factory specs say 173hp. The genesis was a bit expensive for me since my biggest loan before this was a $300 credit card. I also bought it without a cosigner and it took about four hours to get it approved lol.

*Edit* Or it could be the same motor from the Neon... All I really remember is that Mopar makes the motor and it is widely used.

Re: This is going to be a little interesting....

I believe it only had a 5spd manual as an option and they only had one at the dealership which was bright red and was a test drive vehicle. I looked up reviews and people complained about the manuals. That plus I don't normally drive a manual vehicle. I have and can but need more practice. It is a 6spd auto though. Has shiftronic and shift paddles on the steering wheel. I didn't plan on racing it since I'm a truck driver and my license is my job. One more ticket and I will loose my job lol.
