Um... Who wants to spend $10,000 to sup up a $12,000 car? These "Aftermarket" companies are more worried about turning, not just a buck, but a REALLY BIG BUCK!

OK so you say R&D but lets be honest, you just need to modify something you already have, no one is re-inventing the wheel here!

Greed now runs the aftermarket... before(now I'm showing my age) it was pride and respect... now ever since Mommy and Daddy pay for all of Jr.'s little toys until they die, now they can charge an arm and a leg for a hunk of crap!

Like $4000 for a 40whp supercharger!

But there are still some out there, Some companies that still keep the little guy in mind, and go above and beyond to save there customers a couple of bucks... Without saying any names...Cough NST Cough! They try there damndest to make their parts affordable for ANYONE...

Why can't a Turbo company make a "Watered Down" version... Where would Apple Computers be if they only sold $3,000 desktops and $2,000 laptops... they have em if you want em... but if you want a Mac Mini...$500!

You wanna sell your car? Do it... because your Bitching on this website won't help the cause!

Now if you wanna stand up and be heard... Well then your car better already have:

Megan Headers
Greddy Exahust
Tanabe Front Strut Bar
NST Pulleys
TWM Short Shifter Kit
F5 CAI
Bouche Platinum Spark Plugs
Grounding Kit
Upgraded Throttle Body
Tein Damper Kit
C-One Light Weight Flywheel
Konig Ultra Light Weight Wheels
TRD LSD
Stainless Steel Clutch and Break
C-One Rotors
Dezod Break pads
SEIBON Carbon Fiber Pieces

Then tell me your BORED!

Quoted for being one of the great posts here. You nailed it Stever, and if you put your ear to the ground and listen really hard you'll hear rumbling. Options are coming.

IF YOU OWN AN AUTOMATIC, THEN YOU HAVE NO, ABSO-FUCKING-LUTLY NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT PERFORMANCE!

That is all!

well if you could follow along, I was referring to the dude who said you can't get performance with an automatic, and I posted a few hi powered cars with automatics...

if you can't follow a thread please stay out of it!
