Ummm, Yes.

Just about any current Touring Car would be better than a TC4, not to mention, the parts are getting a little scarce. That's not what you want during race day and you broke the last Arm or Steering Block in stock.

If you are hesitant about the cost of a new car, pick up a used Xray T2 '007/'008. I would frown against the Schumacher since most hobby shops don't carry the parts, so this is an almost guaranteed mail-internet-only-parts car. Check with your local hobby shop and club to find out what they are racing, and what the hobby shop stocks parts for. This is the best way to get going in the right track from the start instead of being frustrated from a lack of racer and parts support.
