First, you said that bolt-on mods are "kiddie toy mods" and that you were "too old for them". People who buy sports cars buy them with the intent of either being a spirited driver or adding style to their transportation. Engine mods compliment those who bought their Z for it's torque and hp. Body mods compliment those who bought the Z for it's physical appeal. And most people mod according to what they can afford. Sure, most Z owners would like a twin turbo set up but most of us can't afford it. So, if someone can only afford $100 mods with minimal gains, how is that showing insecurity? Do you honestly think that they are parking at the mall, opening their hood, and asking people if they want to take a look at their popcharger?

If you really think that adding horsepower is showing insecurity, than you must be pretty insecure. With 2 kids, you should have purchased a safer car with a back seat. Obviously you picked the Z over a Camry. Why did you pick the impractical sports car? A popcharger hidden under a hood doesn't really scream out "look at how fast I am!" However, a Z driving next to a 4 banger sedan does demand attention for it's superior performance. According to your logic, the very fact that you own a Z when you should have gone with the safe Camry shows that you need a sports car to feel somewhat special.

Not only that, but I think that you feel threatened when someone adds a $100 mod to their Z so you feel the need to look down on them. Either you can't afford $100, or your Z (which is faster than the Camry that you should have bought) is no longer considered fast compared to other 350Z's.

Does my CAI hurt your feelings, little camper?

And how is it that you don't understand the analogy of a blank canvas? Many of the mods add minimal horsepower. People don't spend $1,000 on their exhaust because of it's 2 horsepower gains. Some people add mods to give their Z a personal touch. Regardless if it's a popcharger or a supercharger, all these mods are about personalizing the Z either visually or performance-wise. Sure, this "blank canvas" might not be a plain piece of paper, but to those who are into modding cars, it always starts off as a blank canvas.




Says the guy who should have bought the Camry...
