everyday is not the correct word to use.
 

for going to work everyday.. you would not need a chip, exhaust, and etc. Unless your a person that drives for the fun of driving. Not to go to work "everday".
correct me if i am wrong

LOL

There are some who do not care to visit tracks and like to make their street cars faster

Name one of your friend's SUVs that weighs less than your car

well how much lighter are you talking?
 

there's a difference between removing a 50lb wheel/tire vs removing 500lbs of crap.

these cars are better suited for the race track where they can handle.

Some sample car weights (from Edmunds.com)
 

Acura RSX - 2721 lbs
BMW 3 Series - 3197
2003 Audi A4 1.8T - 3550
1997 Audi A4 1.8T - 3241
Nissan Maxima - 3432
Pontiac Grand AM - 3583
Chevrolet Z06 Corvette - 3116

The A4 really isn't heavy for what it is. Especially the B5, look at the dang Grand AM! That is a porker.

are you telling me that civics and cavaliers with carbon fiber hoods
 

and huge wings actually have a use for them?

what are your plans for this car? do want to be a 10 second car like the fast and the furious or what?

I would imagine that many here DO drive for the fun of driving
 

That's why we bought the car. Just because it's a little slow acceleration-wise out of the box doesn't mean it's not fun to drive. The roads around your way do turn right and left, yes?

there's a difference between tuning your car and making it lighter
 

why would you NOT want a little bit more power our of your car?

but why would you WANT to remove everything on your daily driver just to make it a little bit lighter?

no, I mod for the fun of it, daily use
 

I rarely ever race, I chipped my car because the extra power is very useful and a loit of fun for daily and spirited driving. I like to enjoy my car every day, and the chip triples the daily enjoyment factor. If I race occasionally, that's just another added benefit of my mods.
