I am thinking of buying a GS-R or a VTEC Prelude, 94 or up. I am planning on putting performance parts on it. But Everything I find in my price range have 90K plus miles. I have come to ask myself if buying one of these cars and putting performance parts is worth it? I mean you spend let's say 9,000K getting the car and you add about 6,000K to 9,000K in perfomance parts. Then when the car gets top like 150,000K miles you got to get ride of it. And when you sell the danm thing you will not even cover the cost you put on the car. So you LOSED some serious money for what? Weekend cruising, Racing a few cars, Talk about how much **** you have on your car. I guess I am at the point where the glamour of this performance car **** has faded and the reality has come forth. The only way I think it is worth putting all that performance **** on your car is when you get it almost brand new. In my situation does anybody else agree with me??????
Please tell me what you think I am going CRAZY just thinking about it all the time

 

i've been through the modding thing, spent lots of money and got lots of enjoyment from it.

my philosophy these days has become more of - buy the car with the desired performance from the factory - ITR, S2K, 350Z, etc. i'm not anti-mods or anything, when it's performance mods and tasteful, minor appearance ones, but you spend more money to eek out a few hp and lower the resale value, and usually the reliability... so, that's my feeling on the subject

 

YOU HAVE POSTED THIS IN 3+ FORUMS.

STOP IT.
