I don't get the modification of an already-perfect and very expensive car.
Doesn't modifying it actually depreciate it? Not to mention lower engine
life. Sorry, I just don't get, it's sinful to me.
I am a true gear head, actually, and I have modded cars before. I modified an '04 GTO that I owned, some power mods but mostly for the suspension. The GTO needed them, as it lacked in power and cornering capabilities, to me. What I was trying to get across is that the Ferrari 458 is one of the most perfect sports cars in the world, stock. I would see no need to modify it, if I owned it - just my opinion. Heavy modifications to a 300K+ car would siginificantly lower its value, because modifications generally signify that it has been driven hard and may have already incurred damage. Idiots who pay a surcharge for a used, modified car, for which they have no idea how it has been driven, are, well...idiots. I disagree with you when you say that people who modify cars usually intend to keep them - it's just not true.
If you modify your car, chances are you're going to keep it. If you sell it, it's going to be to someone who appreciates the mods, thereby adding value or at least making the buyer willing to pay more. Mods that improve (that's the key word) any aspect of any car no matter the brand should be welcomed. In addition, people will do whatever they want because it's THEIR car, no one else's. People that don't get modified cars are close-minded and arguably not even true gear heads.
+the chemtrail kid Makes more than other stock "Car" engine per liter. The 458 is around 133. There are multiple "Liter Bikes" that make a lot more power out of 999 cc's The Aprilia RSV4 bike makes 200/L
