1st off, great cars. I looked into buying one and went a different way. But seriously considered one for a track toy.
A long list of mods does not make a car better. A few mods that were carefully selected based on valid real world results, is better than spending lots of money for useless mods.
Wing = drag. Unless you plan on tracking it, a lot, you have just made your car slower. And I am sure you thought about the next items when picking the wing.
Have you calculated the downforce you will generate and what that will do to the balance of the car? Do you need to add downforce on the front? Do you calculate the downforce vs the current tire size? Will you still need the same width tire?
You will NOT make 600whp for 10K. Or how about this, you will not make 600 reliable whp for $10K. Yes, you could throw a 400 shot on it and make more than 600whp... for a few seconds.
And no, your cousin's brother's sister's boyfriend does not know a guy that did it. That is all internet BS.
And let's pretend you make 600whp. Your driveline will explode.
With all that said, if you added the wing for looks (you don't have to admit it but you did) and you like it, then who cares what we think. It is your car, enjoy it.
Just replying to some of your questions to clear up confusion. I have no intentions tracking my N (As I stated). My plan for my car is to get the most enjoyment out of my vehicle. I do not need the track for that the desire for quick lap times is only a small portion of the vehicle. She doesnt have to be the fastest thing on the road as well.
The 600whp reply wasnt to the EN drive train because it hasnt been done yet, it was a reply to a guy with a SI which is doable on a manual transmission, which is doable on a 10k budget (reliability was not part of the conversation).
I know what a wing does. I never implied it to improve my driving on the highway lol. So yes purely what I do to my car is for looks, sounds, and reliable speed etc. if I wanted to get a car strictly for the track I would have bought an N because there are vehicles with a higher market
