I don't have a problem with people trying to make big horsepower with little displacement, whether it's foreign or domestic. I think a 14 second 4 cylinder is cool, and 12 seconds and faster is downright impressive. I do have a problem with the assumption that fart-can exhaust tips, ridiculously large wings, neon, and stickers make a car faster. I wouldn't mind putting 6-8 pounds of boost to my Alero, but I don't have the money for it. If I had the money, the Alero wouldn't be anywhere near the top of my priority list. But I can understand wanting to have fun in your daily driver too. I just don't like the ricer culture (which is the equivalent of scraping the bottom of the "auto enthusiasts barrel").
