Ok since everyone has beat the stop hating Aveo thing. I want to mention something that is likely the real issue. If your worried about getting your ego bruised because your car was beat by another car you have alot of growing up to do. If you think your new honda will be the fastest thing on the road...well it won't. Fast and the furious was a movie man. Its not like its real. You can sell you Aveo and get a Honda or whatever tuner you want. Pour a ton of money into it and then when you think your ready I'll beat you with one of my cars that isn't an import.

Listen man do whatever makes you happy but realize this right now. If you let your ego rule how and what you drive you'll end up in a box. That is a fact and I have seen it to many times. I love cars too. I have a few that are scary fast. But if someone wants to spend the money they can make some cars faster than them. I'm ok with that. Sure its fun and an adrenaline rush to win a race but do it safely. Take it to a track.

And as much as you mod some cars they are still not made for some of the top end speed you'll end up at.

Just be carefull whatever you decide.
