While checking out Speedhunters day 3 coverage of the HKS Premium Day I found some more pictures of the Arena LS sporting a HKS supercharge hidden under a plastic cover. I also spotted another possible super sedan in the mix, hit the jump to see what it is.
In the pic below you can see the Plastic cover that is hiding away a nifty HKS supercharger which should be adding at least 50HP to the LS. Why hide it under a cover, not to scare the Germans?
That other possible super sedan, is this new GS with a nice set of BBS rims, and some huge Brembos. Why add such big brakes if you don’t up the power? Is there something under that hood that we don’t get to see.
Is this really the next phase of the VIP scene. It’s not a bad idea for the performance companies to target this demo. I mean if you have enough money to shell out $50K to $75K for a GS or LS you obviously have some money. Plus if you think about it this whole tuning trend really started in the early 90′s, 20 years ago. That makes the punk kids who were tearing down civics are now in there late 30′s or even early 40′s. As we get older our incomes increase and so does the cost of our toys.
You can already see the trend starting in the Euros, have you seen the amount of Tuned M3′s and 335′s out there. As prices on the Japanese sedans slide on the used market more of us will pick them up an do our thing.
