Any one care to speculate what proportion of cars on the road are modded for increased performance ?

From reading the technical and drivetrain forums, it seems that a lot of Imprezas have quite a few mods; so much so that I expect to see plenty of these things on the road; though looking at the dealer forecourt, a lot of them still have standard backboxes; which is surprising.

People I talk to at work also tend to get work done on their cars, chipped TTs with Porsche brakes, uprated Speedsters, etc.

Should I expect a good proportion of performance vehicles on the road to be breathed upon ?

 

Yes.

 

the reason you dont see them on forcourts is the same as any othe main dealer ie take off all the good bits and the sell bits back to the purchesr ie ppp so making more money landrover do it remove towbars side steps and so on then sell new ones ....

 

depends on what you call modded, afterall, if a car has non oe tyres on it, it could be deemed as modified!
