But frankly, negating the fact I got pulled over way too many times, let's be realistic. There's no need for excessive horsepower on the highway. Would it be fun to have a quickie race with, say, a Focus and kick their (removed)? Absolutely. But it's not worth spending thousands on headers, exhaust, and forced induction to me. Besides, sitting in a parking lot, few, if any, can tell what performance mods are done.Looks are good, and I can appreciate that. I think the thing that irks us "old-school" guys is that when people TRY to soup up a 4 banger and think that it is something that it is not.

Yep, that brings up the example of the kids in the v6 mustangs and Grand Prixs that think they own the fastest cars in the world because it's got tint and four 12"s, along with the "superstock supercharger" (as my friend and I call it)
