The GTI is an awesome car, dont hate on it. The only thing I would change on the gti is give it a LSD. But that list is kind of off. The Civic costs more to add power than any other car on that list and it is #1 WTF.

No, I wasn't hating on the GTI at all. The frown was aimed at the number one slot, heh.

I have driven both and I will say the civic sux. I love the GTI but comparing it to a Z is apples to oranges.

K20 wins! w00t for my RSX. I wish I had the K20Z3 (the Si engine) MAF sensor and an LSD.

The reasoning it gives for every car is seriously lacking... I mean... look at what they say about the Civic. They basically say "Too expensive, so don't bother, just get new wheels." And the Z? It really just says there's a lack of options right now, but we can dream, lol. Good to see it on the list, but I was expecting something a little more competant, even if it is askmen

The Z is the #1 rwd car. You can mod a fwd car to hell and back, you're still left with fwd.

That said, I wouldn't give their bs ranking a second thought.

I do enjoy how they say this is a list of the best 'moddable' cars and then give zero recommendations for mods. Seriously, that's just weak.

They're journalists (if you even want to call it that). Their knowledge is mostly limited to Fast and the Furious lol...
