>14s quarter miles also was very much slow and boring 30 years ago

that's what a 300zx tt, lt1 Z28/trans am, mustang cobra, or e36 m3 ran in 1994-1995. there was only a small amount of cars that were faster (corvettes/supras/911s ran mid 13s and vipers/911 turbos ran high 12s)

if you had any of those cars you were hot shit, fast drag cars ran 11s back then with a cage and slicks.

you can eat shit with even a 14 second car. look at the people wrapping s2000s into poles and curbs every day.

plenty of regular people on this website even finance $50-70,000 cars and buy $30-40,000 sports cars cash.

the real problem is that new cars are really fucking good out the box with a few exceptions and aren't meant for modding because the manufacturer did most of the work already and there's a certain hard limit you'll hit with all of them

literally most cars the best you can do is a exhaust retune and tires/wheels/brakes maybe coilovers. past that they get really unreliable, undrivable (think 400+ hp fwds or focus rs/gr corolla turning fwd when abused) or just break
