    Entering what?

    I think the next big thing will be twin-scroll turbos becoming more mainstream and everyone finding ways to put VTEC heads on subarus. Drifting will keep getting more popular, then idiots will start doing more of it on the street and the police will start cracking down on them. I expect that its going to be much harder to modify cars with upcoming emissions regulations.

    Honestly the next stage of import performance is likely to be people tweaking hybrids. Electric motor attached to a turbocharged small displacement gas motor.

    yeah i've put thought into the modding of hybrids as well, since they really are the future of the auto industry......eventually though, cars will drive themselves.
