Considering it that way, I think the line bends depending on individual aspects of our enthusiasm. I choose to run shitty tires and focus on making the most of what's available inside that envelope. I do drool over the idea of a sweet dry sump. Things like trans and diff cooling are just as important but I wouldn't consider sticky tires without first addressing oiling and wheel bearing issues in support of them.
One may ask, "Why not just replace them as needed?" Personally, I find my bliss in finding that reasonably comprehensive approach to a solution. I don't say it's better or worse for any particular reason. I enjoy the game.
For instance, my next exercise is to build or specify custom output shafts to minimize angular play. I am irritated by that slop. Is it bad? Depends on the use case and overall goals of ownership.
