Any other "mature" drivers here that have been called out? lol. Yeah, I'm old. I know this isn't a straight line car, but I started thinking I need to supercharge this thing so I don't get punked all the time.

I like it when they rev, makes me think how much money in gas they're wasting. Personally, Who really cares? If a person's ego is easily bruised by not being faster or beating another car makes helps with feelings of inadequacies feel then a shot maturity or seeking professional help might fix that. Street racing is for losers (don't believe -me look at all the idiots that have been killed or maimed doing it) not worth it.
Also, I like how morons take the safe easy way of showing their vehicular dominance by trying to race cars that aren't comparable! A FR-S vs 370Z? Come on!! That'd be like a FR-S smoking lesser (performance wise) cars like the tC, regular Civics (a Si would be more comparable) and Golfs -big deal winning a knife fight with a gun.
What's the point of performance mods? If you wanted faster then do your research and spend more initially on a faster car.
Mods:
Reduce reliability over time
Require more maintenance
Void your warranty
All cars depreciate by the minute, unless you track the car you can't legally take full advantage
Bragging rights? Is CEL hunting worthwhile? Is having to go back to stock for dealer visits or trading in worthwhile?
If the manufacturer could have squeezed out extra horsepower while maintaining reliability don't you think they would have done it?
Save your money for a better car, rainy day, or anything else -with this economy You never know.
