Don't think this has been posted yet and honestly I didn't even want to get involved in this argument because its stupid. The TC is not a bad car when done right. But generally all you see is young girls driving the car. That doesn't mean its a bad car, it just has a bad rep. But this argument has gone really sideways. We established a stock si vs stock tc si wins. We established bolt on vs bolt on si wins. Now we're into the argument of what happens when you have an ass load of money to dump into a car. This is a ricer argument, because everyone knows if you have a lot of money any car can be the faster car.
Anyways just thought I'd post this because no one has posted it, I know AJP has a bad rep but its interesting none the less.

So before 2008 the Honda si held the best record, and 2009 they're coming back to hopefully take that number 1 slot again.
