Aftermarket bolt ons vs OEM dispute - Toyota Yaris Forums

SirDigby · 03-14-2017, 01:13 AM

if it's a performance driven brand or model, it is more difficult to get good gains from aftermarket, unless there is a hierarchy of models. i.e. ford fiesta is down-tuned because it's close performance with Focus ST. it doesn't take much to make it just as fast/faster.
also, it's the emissions thing. companies like chevy/ford can build crappier cars with garbage performance AND millage because of their medium/heavy duty lines. other companies have stricter rules and have to choke out their cars to pass.
and yes, people suck, don't care about performance, don't care about driving, and usually the most important thing is:
"what color it is"
which they never know. I ask all the time, "what color is that?" I get "red," "blue," "green," or whatever. they haven't made "red" since 1932 or whatever. I want to hear, "it's Catalina Desert Rose!" or whatever....
