Sad to see so many buy this car to discover that the power is not enough. The car is still the same. It is the same car they read about and waited impatiently for. It is the same car they test drove. It's the same car they enjoyed for the first few months. They are the ones who have changed.

So true. When I bought my 97 Supra I thought the stock power was awesome. Then every year the power would grow with more mods and more boost. Until it was more double the amount the stock car came with. Then I realised that for all the power it had I'd lost the balance. It had become a handful to maintain and most of the modifications would pass emissions. I ended up selling it.
I love having an NA car now. The temptation to mod NA just isn't there. Besides putting on a set of headers and an intake there's not that much you can do besides drastically changing the car's internals or fuel setup.
