I totally disagree.
Theres some things from modding cars that I just like better. I like the feeling of less body roll & steering response with a proper suspension setup. When I bought the focus, I drove a stock one and 1 with eibach prokit springs. Night & day difference and the ride wasn't harsh at all compared to stock.
Another thing that will probably be on all my cars is a short throw shifter. Had one on my golf, CRX, and now the focus. I would have got one for my RX7 back in the day but couldnt find anything around. I just like the feeling of a short throw over a stock one....always have, always will.
I think the writer was thinking more along the lines of serious performance mods...sure a WRX with bigger sway bars, slammed springs, and s***ty tuning might be a ruff ride & unreliable, but you can do things to a WRX (just like any other car) without going overboard. If you do it right, your ride should be as comfortable as stock, and perform better than stock.
The whole "You gotta pay to play & Do it right the 1st time" really applies here. ;)
