    Defiently worth the tuning. When you got a supercharged engine, it just rooooooooars through the streets. Also when it looks nice with all the body kits and spoilers, your car attracts alot of girls :)

    it mostly depends on the condition of your car if you motor and transmition is ok then i say u could tune it up because you know that it will last long

    Not always true...they have super-lightweight and aerodynamic body kits that can actually help a little sometimes....most of the time it will slow you down, though...

    How many of these people should you be listening to.

    I understand that there are some knowledgable people in this section. But most of them are kids whos cars will be given to them by 'daddy' and havent even hiot puberty yet.

    Not to be mean or anything. But alot of them dont even know what a spoilers true purpose is.

    word. at least some of us really know what we are talkin about besides the people that think they know everything just because they play gran tourismo and need for speed. i cant help but laugh thinking about the thread awhile ago with the kid and "his" supra with "stage 1,2,3 turbo & weight reduction and supercharger...."

    lol a lot of posts since i went to shoupz.com for a week.

    Anyway how in the world does a stock350 lose to a tuned 350? Unless the person didn't tune it properly because cars normally go faster after u've placed such things as a turbo, or the likes and blah blah blah.

    As for some1 talking about body kits slowing down. There are body kits that are lighter or if you are truely concerned with weight and such, just go carbon fiber
