For the TA06 to compete with that level, you will spend around the same price. Some classes wont allow TRFs or Mi3s for that reason... I drove a friends Mi3 and he drove my TA06 exotek and he was much faster than I was, and he passed the Mi3 I was driving. His lap times were fastest in the Mi3 but not by much. I am sure if he tinkered with mine a tad more, it would have been more competitive. btw, im talking about a second or so slower per lap.
a second slower is alot....

let say your friend had a couple days to tune the TA06 to his liking, do you think he'll be able to get the same lap time as his Mi3?
