Based on personally experience and 90% of the comments from people on this forum, and the dozens of reviews from car enthusiast, and car magazines etc... this car has no balls. Great style and handling. but lacking power. And the first comment almost every person says who drives stock then drives tuned+header is "this is how the car should have came from the factory" then they drive a low boost 86 and say "this is really how it should have come from the factory"
Also FYI most people see an increase in MPG when getting tuned+header as they can lean out fuel trims a little in low/midrange and don't need to rev as high/hard to accelerate when DDing.

A lot, and I mean A LOT of people buy cars simply for the look and disregard performance all together. Some even compromise performance for look. Additionally the torque dip is more of a blessing in daily traffic if you ask me, especially for passengers so it doesn't feel like at ever stop and go I'm hammering the gas trying to break necks.
Based on personal experience and
10% of the comments I've read on this forum, dozens of reviews from "car enthusiast" I haven't watched/read, and car magazines I haven't flipped through, this car doesn't need balls. The people who also drove stock then went to a header/tune or FI will obviously say that's how it should've came from factory, because that's what they wanted it to do from factory.
I'd really like to see some results on tune+header cars getting MPG and just being overall more efficient, because this is likely something I'd do in the future so it would be a nice plus.
