i never paid 50k for my car?  
as far as the times go… i had a bad oxygen sensor, a stock catback, a heatsoaked topmount, a slipping clutch and it was pulling 5\* of timing up top… if i get the new clutch installed prior to the 30th, u will see better times.

Technically, it’s not. 🙂 But, that’s not the best example I could have used but the point still remains the same: stock == no changes.

366 SAE!

Your interest rate + mods probably get you close. 🙂

taking the light out on a supra makes a noticable difference since the turbo sits right there.

Your not adding n aftermarket item so to say though. Alot of guys remove spare tire when they run 1/4 in their stock cars, i dont consider that modded. But yeah the supra guys get a advantage there

Everyone has their own opinion but to me; a change = modded regardless of cost/justification/gain/etc…
