The Top Cars To Tune For The Hottest Wheels On The Road
Although most cars perform well right off the production line, it is possible to enhance them further by tuning them. Tuning involves making modifications to a car to improve its performance. It is possible to tune almost any car that exists. However, tuning works better on some cars than it does on others. These are twenty of the best cars for tuning, most of which are readily available and not too hard to come by.
Ford Mustang
The Mustang has such a dedicated following that many people attend meetups across North America to discuss parts, problems, and modifications. With the car still in production, many tuning houses, such as Shelby American, have taken to modifying Mustangs, and some have tuned them to over 1000 horsepower. Having amassed such a cult following, it's no surprise that Ford has continued to make the pony car since 1964. The Mustang has solidified itself as a favorite at car shows, on the track and for DIYers looking for a tuner with plenty of options available for part swaps and upgrades.
Audi TT
The Audi TT has been produced since 1998 and is a stylish option for anyone looking for a high-performance sports car. Upgrading the air intake system, fuel system, or suspension are the easiest ways to get an instant performance boost from the TT. Upgrading the standard turbocharger is, perhaps, the most popular upgrade and creates the biggest jump in horsepower. The TT provides an excellent base to build from since the stock four-cylinder engine churns out 168 horses before upgrades. Unfortunately, upgrades can and will ruin the over forty miles per gallon the base model offers. If you've bought the car to tune, however, fuel economy probably isn't topping your priority list.
Chevrolet Corvette
The Corvette has been in production since 1953, so it is no surprise that there are many versions of it that can reach over 1000 horsepower following heavy modifications. Over seven generations of the Corvette have been produced, and every version is praised for its high standard of performance and styling.
Nissan Silvia
The Silvia represents all that is right with a Japanese sports coupe. It has a front engine, rear-wheel drive configuration, and a low center of gravity. These characteristics not only give the owner a great blank canvas for performance modifications but also make the car highly reliable and interchangeable with other Nissans.
Subaru WRX/STI
The WRX is often called an "incomplete rally-car," meaning it is just waiting to be modified so it can reach its full potential. The high-performance, turbocharged engines in the Subaru WRX are ripe for modification.
