well wth is the point in looking for a fast powerful car if you're just gonna leave it stock?

that pretty much takes nearly all 'cheaper' cars out of your sights, cars that normal people could afford and leaving you with exotics... porsche, saab, aston martin, etc...

usually a car nut looks for one thing, power/speed. nothing stock is ever good enough if there's something you can add to make it go faster, or add more raw power, they add it.

there are very cars i'd imagine any car nut would be happy with being completely stock... most of which would be older muscle cars and that's more about tapping into the past, rather then having the best.
