tC with factory installed + financed supercharger (+$4k) \> RSX-S.

I love hondas, but torque wins races.

Actually the correct formula is “gearing, weight, and torque.” There is obviously much more then just torque, because obviously an S2000 can smoke a Semi Trailer 😃

If I buy a tc from a dealership, am I able to buy a supercharger through the dealership and would they install it? And would that void the warranty?

I think it’s more in reference that we shall soon see a lot of kiddies that think their tC is the most badass thing on the planet. Much like what happened with the grand am.

I heard on a tv show (doing reviews - like motorweek or something) that the supercharger adds about $4000. It’s the TRD charger that they have available for the celica. Gas milage? Well, you should talk to Andy about what that’s like (99\_civic\_si), but it won’t be as well. However, people that want the speed and power increase are rarely concerned with gas milage.

I’d have to stick with Joe on that one, potential of the stock engine is much better than that of the 2.4 yota thus far.
