You would have to start modding those cars then to keep up with the tC. Seen 10psi boosting tC take a Z on a 75shot. tC has the same suspension layout as the SI, just not as stiff.

All those cars cost more than a tC because the tC is minus the stuff those come with from the factory. If Scion had added that stuff from the factory just like those cars and made it the same price, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. But they didn't. There is no trim level and it's marketed as a blank canvas. Soon as you give it a little wake up call...it performs.
I don't waste my time with boost on track cars, sorry. But pretending like I cared about boost, could I not add a turbo kit to my Civic Si....? If you really do "race" as much as you say you do, you should know that suspension layout is only a small portion of the equation. The TC is a failbox, get over it.
