Any idea of the 0-60 time? 6.5 seconds?

Don't get me wrong, the Scion dealership told me that if I modify the car with TRD components, that it would not void my warranty for the car in general. I'm just not big on messing with an already good Toyota engine. I have a 1999 PreRunner Tacoma with 200,000+ miles and a 1992 Celica 120,000+ miles, both with the same engine I bought them with. And they are both stock engines with no mods. Mods seem to diminish the life expectancy of a toyota engine faster than normal. I could see the reasoning for a supercharger if I absolutely need the speed or if I'm competing on a race track. With the supercharger and mods like exhaust and intake, that makes the car almost 25grand (including taxes). There are so many choices of finer cars than the tC if you are willing to spend about 25grand or more. That's just my opinion. Besides, no matter what you do to make your car faster, there will always be someone out there faster than you or a better driver/speedster than you.
