post your ultimate performance part list

post your list of the performance mods you would make to your car if money was no object, to make it go as fast and handle as well as possible. pretend money is no object. style mods are ok too as long as the have some performance impact.

Lol. Turbo of course! Everything else is a waste of money, unless it's related to the turbo setup. Intakes, exhaust, header--they're all useless for performance.

With money being no object at all... Fine. I'll take a C32B1.. rigged up to power the front wheels. Custom fenders to stuff wider wheels in the front and back. A set of Ferrari Enzo Carbon Ceramic Rotors and pads ($26000) with the center locking hubs with the wheels (4 fronts since the car is FWD). A JIC FLT-A2 RS suspension, a full cage, some Bride buckets to keep my *** in place, a couple 5 point harnesses and maybe a carbon fiber front splitter if it turns out I need it. Yeah... I think that'll work.

HOWS about... we just all buy RSX-S engine and put the Cybernation RSX-S stage 3 turbo kit on... which puts down 440HP to the wheels on their RSX... and runs low 11's on street tires... and with the lesser weight of our cars and drag radials it would fully run 10's in the 1/4 on PUMP GAS PEOPLE!!!!!..... END OF DISCUSSION!!! LMAO

Not evenyone is into drag racing... a FWD car that put out 440 HP to the wheels would get eaten alive on an autox track...

ok... then why a dual exhaust??? dual exhaust does nothin for a honda... just stick with the single... sounds better too... and i thought the idea what ultimate performance part list... as in "straight line"... auto X would have been stated and would mean suspension not so much as performance parts... thanks and I would still much rather have a car that eats people alive in a straight line... and good suspension... than car with good suspension and no performance... but that's just me

Since when have performance parts been ONLY engine parts, A performance part is something that improves the performance of your vehicle... SO, better tires are perfromance parts, I think in the tire world they're called PERFORMANCE TIRES (or summer tires) Suspension componants are performance parts...
