Same here. I force myself to be satisfied with what I've got because I have too many other financial responsibilities to worry about making my car faster. At some point I'll find a few extra dollars to do some more things.

My car seems so slow to me now, but I dont have big $$$$ to do any worth wild mods. Like KB or heads/cams.

My sig others GT is 100% stock and she is totally happy with it. She doesn't want the fenders to shake and no smelling like exhaust pipes after a cruise. I am going to install the first motor from my Negrito build thread in hers once I am done racing with it (she doesn't know it yet

) but the idle will get smoothed out and the exhaust will be stock other than a set of welded in Borlas.

I thought you said you were good at saving money...haha just joshing ya.
OP- NO I'm not content with a stock motor, granted I only have a JLT CAI for engine mods but I'm still not happy. Now if I had a new 5.0 I think I'd be happy, but maybe for a short time haha

As soon as you loose a spot light Grand Prix to a V6 Camry, you'll want more power.
