I wouldn't say something like that until you actually run the car as is. And if you're a novice, your times are going to improve with every run without any modification to the car.

A case in point would be Michael Blue, who ran his stock SVX, with only the front wheels being driven, to some very competitive times.

I was actually very surprised how well the car hustled around the track. The key seemed to be not letting it shift when you didn't want it to - that could unsettle the car pretty drastically.

Anyway, my philosophy is this - mods don't necessarily make it more fun, but learning to be a better driver does. Do a few events with the car as is, then once you have a handle on everything you should have a good idea what the car needs to be faster.
