Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?  |
It's certainly not just you. My car is very-nearly stock, and I intend to keep it that way. It's a lot of trouble just to coax ~10hp more out of the engine, and suspension mods aren't really worth it without significant track use. Not only that, but the twins are considered to be a beginner's track car, so if the driver is a beginner, there is NO point in putting $5k worth of suspension on it.
The car is cheap and quite pretty so it does attract the show car crowd as well. That of course brings a bunch of the constant-modification attitude, which is of no interest to me, though I certainly don't see the harm in it.
I myself enjoy driving the car, and so have decided not to store it for the winter, nor spend time/money on modding it. The less I put into those things, the more I can put into seat time. A set of aftermarket lights is the same cost as 3 lapping evenings at Calabogie. I know which thing I'd rather have.
