I'm kind of curious. With every car out there, there are aftermarket parts that increase performance. Things like intakes, exhaust, header/downpipes, even just ecu tuning. My question, on performance models (srt, Si, ss, etc) why do the cars not come this way stock? What do the manufacturers try to balance when making a car? I've seen a few people on here fully bolted, with a catted downpipe, fully tuned making between 205 and I think as much as 240 to the wheels. I think our cars make around 180 stock. And they don't seem to have any drastic changes in gas mileage. Rev hang is gone, etc. So I guess I was curious as to why at least the performance models don't come that way. They are obviously coming pretty detuned if you will. Opinions?
