Racing for fun? or beating people
I think that the only reason to modify the car is to have fun with a strong car. but sometimes it gets personal with some people when challenging each other.
what do you think???

i do it to keep my car as the "fastest" among my friends...my friends cars consist of c6, mallett cts-v, mustangs, gto's, c5 z06, and modded c5's....so its really a competition between us who has the fastest car, even if we wont openly admit it.

It is the testosterone in all of us to be competitive. There is a line there most of us never cross but some guys just take it too far and take all the good fu out of it.

It does get out of hand.
One of the big reasons I sold my 2003 Cobra was I was constantly looking to beat every car I came across. The eternal struggle to beat the NEW Z06, Vipers, etc... was gonna lose me my license or my life or someone elses.
So I traded it for a 350Z, a fun & quick car, but not a race car by any means except for in the twisties. I find myself enjoying driving even on one lane roads where as before all I did was prowl two lane roads looking for prey, but not really enjoying the drive.
Does that make sense?
I still want a NEW Z06 though!
WHY???
Just to say I have the best?
Truth be told, my C6 has more than enough power for me, but I gotta be TOP DOG?
It really is RIDICULOUS:o
It's all about having the biggest wee wee
Just giving an honest opinion on this topic.
Hopefully if/when I get my new Z06 I can drive it to enjoy it and resist the temptation, I think the 350Z is teaching me how to do that.

Gotta defend the Honor of 'th Vette.................... or, for that matter, anything I'm drivin'.
But, one thing I've learned, if some pimple-faced kid pulls up and wants to try you in his Civic, better believe he probably knows he can take you. There are more that a few ricers running around here that will bust a Z06, much less a C6. Be careful out there.
