There were some very good points made in this thread. What irritates a lot of people that like to build up cars for performance, either import or domestic, s the people who slap on only cosmetic upgrades to their cars and say that they are into racing. Here's an analogy. I get a Geo Metro, put 20'' chrome rims on it, and a leather interior and then head over to a meet of Bentley owners and tell them I have a luxury car. They'll all laugh at me.
