| I think this post wraps it up the best... ...is there some sort of weird pride involved in having a Civic that is faster than a stock 350Z (but slower than a modified one)? Yes. I can understand this person's point of view perfectly. It's much more fun achieving something using kit that's not supposed to be able to achieve it. He's chancing his customisation skills against your superior stock performance. If he wins, he's beaten your machine and your skills combined meaning he's thrashed you by quite some margin. If he wins just using a modded powerful car, then he's really not going to get the same satisfaction. Its all about the satisfaction folks. Hell, even when I lose to a faster car with all kinds of bolt-on upgrades, it doesn't hurt. Because I know that anyone can go fast with a lot of money. To me, the challenge is to do it without all the money. Satisfaction comes with achievement and winning races is just gravy on the potatoes. :-)
