The true tuners and the true builders I respect. The ones that get me are the ones who put nos and a fart cannon on a stock civic and then think they are king ding-a-ling. I know one guy who has a 92 civic that is fast. It was not about the money, he did it because he was tired of everyone saying it could not be done. He wanted to prove it could be. The same guy has a 2000 Camaro SS as a daily driver and a 34 Chevy hot rod that he is building. He had the money to spend on it, and what he proved is the end result (when buying a used late model car) is the cost is really close to the same. The car was cheap, but cost more to get the same result as a more expensive car that costs less to go fast. In the end he spent about 55K. A 3-4 year old Mustang GT would cost about the same to go just as fast.
