Main reason-
Why bother putting thousands into a tiny little spineless 4 cylinder that would still come shy of a V6's potential. 4 bangers are still only good for one thing: 1. economy.
The laws of physics don't change. There still is no replacement for displacement. Plus 4 bangers sound weaney too (unless their turning like 9 or 10,000 RPM)[/b]
I mod it for the challenge. What is the fun in buying a car that is already hooked up? None whatsoever. It is for the love of the hobby. Plus it is for the sleeper look. No one would suspect the 4 door sedan to be quick without the SVT badge on the back. Just ask some people that were on Gingerman at SZ. No one believed my car was a Zetec because I was passing SVTs. 
And it didn't sound like one. It is all about the love even if you have an ATX.
