Welll... don't discount the fact that the engineers are trying to hit noise and emissions targets as well. There ARE things that the engineers have done that by nature suck up some of the power of the engine.

But, I haven't seen anything that provides real horsepower gains on these cars that is cost-effective in any way.

This thread is hilarious!

Maybe this is a good time to bring up some other mods I am planning:

1) Replace airbag receptacles with handy storage area for my knives
2) Dashboard mounted hibachi for those long road trips
3) Fill up gas tank with alcohol for maximum performance like those top fuel guys

dude bro engine oil is so like 1989. Don't worry if it gets
dirty with a silly paper filter. I know guy Emilio who hasn't changed
his oil or air filter in 20,000 miles and the car is louder than an STI on
exhaust roids. I can hear my bro coming down my way like five
minutes away. **************** is bad ass, speed? Pfffttt who cares?!

p.s.
who is ron popeil?

Actually, it's probably because Perfectlap gets out that he doesn't know who Ron is.

That was indeed a great Ron Popeil reference.

You gotta love Ron. If you are certain age, the phrase, "and now, from RONCO, the amazing .................. has got to bring a smile to your face.

Then there is the Dan Ackroyd take off on Bass a Matic!
