You're failing to realize that you're taking a car(whether it be a Civic, Fbody etc) that's already built and taking parts that are already made/fabricated to make it perform better.
If you're saying that you can build a car from scratch, fabricate everything yourself and have it perform better and be as nice as a ZR1 or GTR with a warranty for 1/10th of the cost then I have some beach front property in Arizona to sell you at a really good price.  |
I don't see the perspective as completely "ricer", I think it more illustrates the point that different people are into different things.
I am sure that if anyone on the board felt like it they could take any muscle car or import, regardless of drive configuration, and run in both straight line and road course testing right along side the Corvette, the GTR, or any other top on vehicle. The dividing line is merely the check book required.
Warranties are nice, but many of us could really care less because we rarely leave a car alone for long anyway. I know people who have voided warranties on brand new cars with in an hour of picking them up.
I would really prefer a classic muscle car's styling over the late models. At the same time, I would love to have the loot to make an early 2nd gen bird handle and accelerate like a C6 Z06. It is taste, not hate.
