Here are my top 10 "performance" mods for those who don't care about performance.
10. "Type R" sticker - $1 for at least 30 hp
9. M5 badge - $50 for an additional 180hp
8. Racing stripes - $30 for "Viper-like" snap oversteer
7. Bright pink mud flaps - $150 for that extra edge in mudracing (the bright pink is to help AAA identify your car when they come to dig you out)
6. A CD of jet engine sounds and a loud stereo - $15 for CD + $1500 for stereo - after all, "sounding" fast is half the battle
5. Clears - $125 - your competition will be so intent on ogling your cool taillights they'll slow down and get behind you
4. Cut springs - free if your hillbilly cousin is handy with an ax - to lower your center of gravity and to let the bottom of your car repave the road for your next, much faster run!
3. 60 degrees of negative camber - free - you've already paid for the sidewalls on your tires...use them!
2. 40 fog lights - $2000 - if you can't outrun your competition, you can always BLIND them
1. A really low seating position (your eyes just above the dash, if not below) with your arms fully extended and barely reaching the steering wheel - free - for that "F1" look...of course, if you ever have to avoid an accident, or to make a turn for that matter, you'll be needing the breakaway chassis and rollbars the F1 cars have
