Sure you can bolt on a fart can exhaust, header, intake, MAYBE tune it a bit, and pick up 10-15 horse power, perhaps even 20, but a stock Gen coupe (either of them) r-spec will still walk all over you, both around a track and in a straight line.

Now if you drop 25k+ and build the motor, go FI, and do all the supporting mods you will make 400-500hp and kick ass, but honestly it still is nothing to write home about.
saying this car isn't worthy of being called a tuner car on a forum dedicated to this car is troll bait, if you ask me. just because it's small and n/a means it can't be a tuner car? 25k base is too expensive for a tuner car? where does this guy get this crap?
