While a true statement, driving a "street sports car" is a subjective experience. Physics has very little to do with it. People "pretty up" the car to make it "look cool" to them. People change the dynamics and equipment to make it "feel good" for them. After all, absolute accuracy is for computers, while humans experience thrills.

Being able to put such high G-load and carrying so much speed through turns is not subjective. You seemed to have opened the can of worms here. This is not what this thread is about. I created this thread so that people could benefit from other people's experiences with mods. Not long arguments about why something is bad. Please stick to the topic. You can start a separate thread if you want to debate that

It absolutely does. The best gains from a single mod as well. However, right now I don't have any plans in the near future to get headers just because my wife would not like the car to be that loud. The sound the car has now, is the perfect balance between loudness and civilized. Thanks.
