To me, I think a big part a Japanese car culture is tuning. For those who aren't familiar with the car term "tuning" it is "an industry and a hobby, in which an automobile is modified in order to improve its performance, handling and presentation and improve the owner's driving style. As most vehicles leave the factory set up for average driver expectations and average conditions, tuning has become a way to personalize the characteristics of the vehicle to the owner's preference. For example, they may be altered to provide better fuel economy, produce more power at high RPM or the ride comfort may be sacrificed to provide better handling."
I just enjoy what people can create out a of a stock car and make it preform better than expected.
