We shall see if it's worth when mods are added, or if it becomes as useless as the hemis and new LT1s

What do you mean? Are those motors (or maybe their computer rather) not mod/tune friendly?

I don't care about mods. Outside of maybe a tune, I don't bother anymore. Stock numbers are plenty and a 0-60 in the 3s is borderline supercar territory. I know not everyone feels this way and likes to tinker, but those days are quickly going away.
There's also the magnetic dampers, active exhaust, heated steering wheel (FINALLY), lane keep assist, automatic emergency stop w/pedestrian detection, huge interior quality upgrades, etc, to consider.

They do not and tuning is more complicated due to locked pcm

Heated steering wheel? That's why no one will remember your name.

You should try Alcántara suede, your sensitive hands won't get cold when you touch the steering wheel.
