That's the thing though. People have been doing it for decades. It's a form of fun and excitement. I don't get nor agree with the logic of, 'if you want something faster, you should buy a whole new car' as I find that asinine. It's a similar logic to building a computer or adding onto your house; get a bigger house from the start or get a better computer from the start.

As for the car not achieving more, no one can speculate on that yet. But giving up before even trying is a silly thing to do.
