If you want to really carve corners, get a 911, S2000, NSX, etc. etc.

I think it's more because some of us are tinkerers and can't leave anything alone. There is a better suspension system available for a vehicle we own so why not make our lives more complicated by removing stuff and replacing it with better stuff. It sounds silly put like that but i believe that where this is a will, there's a way to improve something. I friend of mine's father bought an Enzo and then had it shipped to Germany where they replaced the perfectly good engine it came with, re-routed the exhaust, intake, rear air defuser and a tons of other bits and pieces just to be able to say that he now has the worlds fastest ferrari. It was the feature car at Race The Base where it went head to head in a drag race against an F-18 fighter jet as a fund raiser to raise money for breast cancer and a couple of other good causes. Had he just left it alone, in this particular case, he wouldn't have had the drive to put together a fund raiser. Who knows, maybe I'll enter into a Cannonball Rally with my suped up X5 and blows the doors off of some of the competition because I couldn't keep my X5 stock.

I kind of went off a little there but the modding bug is in my blood and the excitement created when faced with logistical challenges keeps my hunger for cars alive. We all need a project car/SUV and I'm glad I have one for the summer and one for the winter.
