So, In order to get that L99 up to par to what it should be doing, ya gotta tune it, which in turn voids your warranty, which in turn makes you PAY for alot of krap that could possibly go wrong due to lack of warranty! Take it with a grain of salt buuuuuut I'l take a manual any day and keep my warranty intact and if I decide to void it (which I will) It will be because im exceeding stock expectations, to just getting up to par to where I shouldve been 34-42k dollars ago!  |
It leaves a sweet and sour tase in your mouth indeed. I think majority people would like to exceed stock parts sooner or later. Once you see a great tuned car you start to become inspired and then later a mod addict.
