[CL9] In search of horsepower

TBH I don't fully agree with bennjamin because the DC5R vs the Euro R there isn't a BIG difference in track performance wise.

If you are basing it on Best Motoring's racing around the track, don't. Their racing is biased based on the driver of the car.

If your car is modded out fine even without the turbo / supercharger you can get some good times.

It's just that you need a lot of time and money to make sure everything is perfect and most people just rather buy another car and waste less money.

ECU reflash + weight loss is quite important if you want a fast car and it's not just about boosting the hp up like bennjamin said. If your tracking, getting good coilovers and sway bars ect ect
is also needed to handle that extra power or torque.

Before you even start on the more expensive mods, take the car to the track first to see which area needs to be improved. Usually it is the driver that requires the most mods before even being able to max out the car on track.
