Modifications can bring unanticipated challenges. Just ask the engineers who build factory hot rods.
All of us, from the moment we grasp the key to our first car, face a decision: to tune or not to tune. Are you content with what the manufacturer hath wrought? Or do you suffer the hubris of believing that you, an individual owner, could effect some notable improvements? Of course you do. All of us think that. And often enough, we suffer the consequences.. Because I have a weakness for ill-advised shortcuts, I wondered if you could just bolt a supercharger to a 6.
All of this points to the main challenge for tuners: amping up capability without compromising the car. For instance, my friend Tim installed Braum race seats in his 475-hp Kia Stinger, and they save weight and look cool. But unlike the stock seats, they're not heated or cooled or 16-way power adjust-able. Another friend, also named Tim, modified his C6 Corvette for drag racing and swapped in a four-speed automatic transmission, to the detriment of daily-driving refinement.
