[QUOTE="c. love, post: 14098550, member: 141413"] Neither do I thus the quotes around sports car. I would say its hard to argue that by adding a turbo, FMIC, etc etc you are not trying to up the performance for sport. Weather that be drag race, autox or just getting from point A to point B faster so really you could call it a sports car or a pocket rocket or whatever. I prefer fun grocery getter if i had to title it I am well aware of what a slightly larger turbo will do and well aware how tiny the stock ones are. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why these things have tons of TQ and why a tune results you in a ton more TQ and not HP. A small fast spooling turbo. I think if you do modify the power band the car wont be nearly as fun. just my .02 What it comes down to is 1500+ on a turbo , 1100 on a new FMIC, 500 on a tune/tuner, 300 on a intake etc etc is just a waste of money to me. They are fun cars but by adding all that shit reliability goes down, warranty out the window, and the money can be spent on IDK a trip to a nice beach or on hookers and blow( if that's how you roll) or better yet paying the car off. Plus you start modifying it wont be a 30 MPG daily anymore shit mine gets 27 in town. Lastly, its nice not HAVING to use 91 octane if you dont want to. I know this is a forum for guys who like to modify stuff and I question WTF I am doing arguing against adding parts to a decent car. I think the time has come I have realized what a waste of money modifying a street car is. I also think that if I am going to modify the hell out of something it may as well be a RWD car not a FWD car. To each their own I guess. I will stop typing now lol [/QUOTE]
