few reasons:
1. Same reason we have sex: the feeling
2. bored so start modding
3. makes it more of "your" car then just another car
4. need for speed
5. knowing that a z06 sees the evo and knows not to **** with you
6. scaring the **** outta the gf by accelerating when she starts *****ing

My goal of achieving (stock) EVO level performance in my 2gb DSM.






That and my insatiable need for speed.

The reason I mod is the factory never seems to get it just right.

it is too civilzed out from factory. It is suppose to be a rally car, i try make it like that. So kind of like this:
No more then 400 whp ,lighter than factory,better and sharper handling overal./cornering braking etc/. Also i try get every mods more functional then for show.
this is my reason for modifying the Evo.

The car represents you. You are different, so your car should be too...

Plus.... the car becomes mondane after having it the same for too long.
