Nate, it makes no sense to me how you can compare a Ducati to a family sedan and then compare altering the suspension and frame geometry of the Duc which will negatively affect the function the bike was designed for to bolting a turbo and exhaust onto a sedan. The mods you mention won't take away from the function a sedan was designed for. You're comparing apples to oranges.

Regardless, my intention wasn't to start a pissing contest or dispute the fact that a lot of people mod their vehicles for the appearance or brag value rather than the performance benefit. I was simply saying that IMO it didn't make sense to stretch and rake a Ducati, regardless of the fact that it looks neat.
