as i told my friend the other day who works on and owns a Honda and was working on a Mustang and had the same complaint as you do, those types of cars are built for
speed not
simplicity and speed like a built Honda.
notice i said
built before anyone starts jumping around ...
every car has parts that are just impossible to deal with. intake manifold on a Honda ... not fun or easy to get to those lower bolts.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
