When does it become too much? (mods wise)

I know everyone loves to mod their car, and I am all for it.
But this to me seems like a death trap.
Either you snap your neck and lose control or the axle goes through the floor and kills you, or the car blows tires at high speeds, or the tires fly off, and so on and so forth.



2003 Sunfire with 2 1/4 inch turbo muffler, 2 1/4 piping, 2 1/2 inch resonator, a 2 1/4 inch catalytic converter, 2 1/4 inch down-pipe, a ported LSJ manifold, E-bay strut brace, and an AEM true cold air intake NOPI edition.

I think its too much when people mod things, just for the sake of modding things.

That car makes a lot of power, obviously its not practical and doesn't even look safe on a dyno.

Are you kidding???

The car has a cute on the back, so it has a frame in it (or there would be nothing to attach the chute to) and it has drag wheels and slicks on it. When they have the back hatch open you can see either an aluminum fuel cell or battery box in the back. I am guessing this is a track only car. Practical, I do not ever recall seeing a "practical" drag car in my life. That car probably runs in the low 7s at 190+. There are other cars out there not just 4 bangers that run 10s and 11s. Check out the NMCA, the Pro Street cars run in the 7s and the Extreme Street cars run in the 8s. Do you even realize how much power it takes to make a car run that fast?

Same here. Or the fact that it almost pulled a wheelie on the dyno.

It's definately a strip only car... that's pretty obvious with the chute on the back. So therefore it would also most likely be a professional driver in the seat. It looks like an easy 7 second car at maybe 200 give or take a little.

My two cents
