I want to be somewhere in the middle. This car is a lease for 3 years and I am protected under warranty for four (granted I can get mods that comply with warranty)
Engine life is not a priority for me because I don't keep my cars for very long.
You could make the argument that driving your car hard shortens engine life and causes things to wear as well, but I still want to drive her hard. This is no different in the sense that it will put extra wear in all likelihood, but it fits in more with my purposes.
I want to make my car perform to my liking without completely compromising reliability. This is very doable and this is the middle-ground which I am looking for.
10hp would make enough difference for me to be happy. Since this is a lightweight car, it is very elastic to those power increases.
I don't want a 400hp drag car, nor do I want to keep the status quo necessarily.
If I could have gotten the S I would have, but I couldn't. I don't wanna get into personal reasons as to why.
I have been checking out the ImagineAuto stage 2 performance upgrade which includes intake an ECU "flash", but I'm not sure if it's worth 1400 bucks for a CLAIMED 15-18hp (15-18 is worth it, but it's claimed, and that makes it questionable)
Some friends told me I could get a custom muffler made for only a few hundred bucks but I can't find any places that do it.
I'm just looking for a small bit of added performance. No more than 20hp.
Then again I am sure when I get that 20hp, I will want more lol. But I will try control myself
