Sure, but you are going to give up something in return.

This is an enthusiast site, just about everyone on here modifies their car at least a little, but I wonder how many overall remain 100% stock.
I have been preaching this ^ for 4 years.

Doesn't matter what they do to improve it anyway. They make the handling better guys will still change all the suspension. They make the 300hp beast that so many scream for people will bump it up to 500. They put the best sticky tires with the lightest wheels ever made on it and many will have them changed to something else before 100 miles are up.
The whole idea of modding a car is to get what you as an individual want out of it so looking for conscientious on what is good or bad is a fools game where there will never be a winner.


New ones probably have more that stay stock (or very close to stock). This forum does not represent the majority. Used ones probably get heavier duty mods since prices open the car up to a larger market.
