Some cars appear more frequently on YouTube and social media as modified rockets than others. But with skill, can’t you put any engine or any other part into any car?
Actually, if trying to maximize performance, why not build from scratch? Why is “1,800hp GTR” more interesting or common than “1,800hp car built in garage”?
In: Engineering
Some cars come from the factory with the ability to produce more power than they actually do, because using the full power creates extra wear on the car, and the manufacturer does not want to deal with that under warranty.
Many car can be made significantly quicker with just a software update, but doing so voids the warrenty.
Its a win win for the customers and the manufacturer. The manufacturer limits their liability, while providing a car that customers can easily make more powerful, at the customers financial risk.
Also, the more people that want to mod a specific car, the more 3ed parties manufacturer parts for modding that car, which makes more people who want to mod a car consider that car.
