yeah things have been great recently. even if you're at the bottom of a new car budget you can still buy a BRZ, ND miata or a Fiesta ST and have a great thrifty performance car.
i think the future of car modding through is going to be ECU tuning literacy. everything is so tied into the ECU that its becoming impossible to make drastic changes without knowing how to modify code so that the safety, stability control, and emissions systems don't go apeshit. to RJ's point, the German cars seem to really be sensitive to that, and the fixes aren't cheap.
if you've got the bucks to spend, the factory sports cars out there today are bonkers. in 10-12 years the used market it going to be amazing.
