Do you get what I am saying? As in, I don't want a car to suck so bad off the showroom floor that I feel compelled to spend a ton of money so I don't hate driving it.
More clear?
As for rolling performance into payments. You are the one that somehow believes that not having a factory LSD and not having a properly tuned suspension is more performance oriented. Because 'real' enthusiasts will just put their own in. How you got that far brainwashed by Scion's 'blank canvas' marketing is beyond me.
What's your ultimate 'performance' options list? No engine, but it comes with a TIG welder, and some DOM tubing? I guess I'm not a real enthusiast like you are. How about this, Dragonitti? Toyota sells you a bunch of steel tubing (with Scion stickers on it) and some Locost plans for your next car?
The funny thing is that the guys defending Scion before you jumped in were basically saying that you and other performance oriented Scion lovers are the absolute minority when it comes to the brand. And that performance is irrelevant to their marketing.
It's funny enough that I can imagine hearing Oneday laughing hysterically at me as I continue to bang my head against this wall...

Yes!
If I wanted to spend 10K on a car in mods right after I bought it, I would just take that 10K and put it toward a car that is already better in stock form. It's always easier to modify a car that has been designed for performance, and designed well.
Also, drangonitti, a simple final total would have been sufficient rather than spending three post dancing around the question only to finally post a grocery list of part (both bought and sold)
