once again, im not trying to sound like a ****, but why build a weak motor into a strong one when you can just buy a strong one and make it even stronger?

(wow i sound like a domestic v8 owner...)
It's just a matter of what someone wants out of their car. Whether it be speed, looks, ''wow'' factor. Say someone wants more power than a d15b2 but doesn't want the gas mileage of a b18c. Why not put in the d16z6 or the like? Great gas mileage and a little more pep. Just an example, but it just comes down to what someone wants over what is fastest/cleanest/different. My .
