Solutions and options MUST be affordable. We're talking low end entry level sports car here lol, this isn't the GTR world where everything does and should have a premium.
I wouldn't have spent 25k+ in mods on my second Z if I didn't believe in VQs (which I know, before any of you mention is almost nothing compared to some of you). But I know where to realistically draw the line with capabilities of the platform in it's current state. I will not be the one to push the boundaries.

Platform is in a rut because no one wants to push the boundaries. No more low entry and any hatch back civic. 10 years ago you think a all motor fwd or awd drive civic would be knocking on the door to 7 second 1/4 miles? It takes a bunch of 1 off builds like hotrodz, spooler, Kels, soho to inspire and create ideas for that average Joe. Sometime that average Joe build works and is fast for no reason, that in turn sparks interest from other demographics to start pouring money into R&D.
