I write this post, and the cycle is complete.

Sorry, but that makes no sense. My comment about you getting passed was a direct reply to you thinking that there is a car that would beat my tC that only cost $10k more dollars than a stock tC. You replied to that comment with a reference to a Lotus which doesn't cost only $10k more than a stock tC. You can't even so much as follow your own comments.

And I've beaten all of those cars listed by a long shot, except the 370z and Caterham 7 since I haven't had the pleasure of racing them. So try again. I completely destroyed my boy's MS3 and it was pushing 280whp (so it wasn't even stock). And before you call BS, they are all on video. Aside from beating those cars anyway...they don't cost only $10k more than a stock tC. My tC was $20k after taxes, tags, titles. Those cars START at $25K or more before taxes, tags, titles. Caterham 7 cost how much, oh about $40-60k (and LOL at trying to daily drive that)

The above cars are all around $30k or so (before taxes, etc).

Here, I'll fix it for you.
Stock tc MSRP: $16-18k (before taxes, etc.)
Mods: $10k (not including labor)
Total: $26-28K
And still walks on all those cars you listed (based on the 370z 1/4 mile specs, I would beat that too with me just running low boost).
