Because it seems like nearly everyone who modifies newer cars drive
like asses. "Oooh, look at my modified Neon, it is so cool and I can
pass everyone on the interstate". Or how about the big spoilers that
look like they just came from a sheet-metal shop. I love the
tailpipes that are 2 or 3 times larger than the engine pistons are,
and make that nice Rice-boy sound. Yeah, that's really cool.

I don't like them either and would never buy or restore one.

Then don't worry about power, worry about traction.
