Not trying to poop on the Scion TC but:
Quote:After a few more runs down the drag strip, we nail the launch and click off a 7.2-second 0-to-60 time and a 15.1-second quarter-mile. Solid times that are identical to the numbers we ran in the Civic Si. With a limited-slip splitting up the torque, there's no doubt that the tC would be quicker, but as of right now, Scion doesn't offer one.

Basically ends up being $3,500 minimum (if you have Toyota put it on - which lets you maintain your warranty) for 40hp. An SRT4/SS makes a good deal more stock, and can be cheaply made faster. I spent $40 on a Stage 2 WGA and moved boost from 13/14lbs to 17/18lbs.
