There's always the exception, but under powered cars are what fuels the mod market. Most kids (and wage slaves) can't plunk down enough money for a powerful car to start off with. They can only afford to make it faster little by little. And I'm not just talking about V6's. The SS owner is striving for Z28/ZL1/Z06 performance. I just wasn't willing to go into debt to have a Z06 or even a ZL1. As much fun the mod game is, if I had the cash I'd just get a Corvette Z06 (or an Aventador for that matter) and enjoy awesome performance right out of the box.

I get what you are saying. It is definitely a demographic. Though you can't argue that they will attempt to race at every opportunity.
And I'd argue that it would be far easier to mod a used V8 Mustang/Camaro faster and easier than a tiny 4 banger.
Edit: I apologize. I didn't want to turn this into a debate...... Just my mid life old man observations. I appreciate the tuner scene. Also appreciate what the big money cars are capable of. Just don't much like the fast & furious stickers, stance, wheels, & wing club.
