Or you can get a Mid to late 90's sti (10-15k in oz) and put whatever the difference between it and total of 27 is and it will shit all over the tc costing same amount..
That's the problem with YOUR point of view.. It's too broad.. Comparing to a brand new evo or sti or 370 that cost same stock as your tc with mods, that's different story.. That's because those cars hold their value, are built an put together and finished better.. Spending 10 k on a 370 will net a BETER result than spending 20k on a tc

I was not under the impression we were talking about Used cars. As a used tC goes for $6-8k and not $20k. Don't compare a used up car to that of a brand new one that has been modded. I don't play the "price" game anyway, because there are junkyarders like a CRX and do a motor swap + boost to that would own a crap load of cars....The proverbial "Price" war is a matter of personal taste in vehicles and what you can and can't afford.
Spending 10k on a 370 will not Hands down net better results than spending 20k on a tC....that's where you lack in experience in terms of racing or knowledge of what can be had for $20k into a tC. If you gave me $20k and a bone stock tC, I would return back to you a 600-700whp Track bruiser. The 370 would be no where near that neighborhood in power for one, and two, you will spend $10k just bolting on a Twin turbo Setup to a stock motor and then spend whatever is left over trying to combat heating issues. I've owned a 350z....you have to remove the motor to install twin turbos on it. 10k to do that equates to a built motor and turbo on a tC that would murder a Stock motor Twin Turbo 350z (drag racing that is).
