Should I leave it Stock?

I say enjoy your car and make it yours. Your needs and pinion in the end is what counts.
Like said, most any mod can be reversed if the next owner wishes. Hi nickle.
I car less about taking a car to a show and Iam not a racer, but I have alway enjoyed the seat of my pants feel of torque and the sound of a healthy "at least" sounding engine!
I have some slant cars I just enjoy driving too, the snail that it is!!
For many years I tended to gauge my respet for a certain model by how others regarded it, then it hit me, only time it matters is when I sell.
