Modified cars are rampant in my home town of San Diego. My cousin and a bunch of his HS friends are in a streetracing team and mod out their cars. Civics are the most modified and easiest to change around. I really hate how Fast and Furious made it into a trendy thing now. Now every cocky teen wants to mod their car.
I think it's mostly a west coast thing. I went on vacation to the east coast and I only saw one modded car and incidentally it was a Civic.
Personally if I were to get a car for streetracing I'd get a Subaru Impreza WRX. Then I'd add a cold air intake, full cat-back exhaust, change the headers, drop the suspension, upgrade the turbo and chip it to take out the factory speed limit.
But my nights of streetracing are over cuz the cops are more vigilant plus I hate driving around stupid poser punks.
