So after reading this:
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
... my first reaction was that a true anti-tuner car is one that is completely stock.
But then I was thinking... maybe it isn’t.
Maybe a true anti-tuner car is a car where performance is deliberately downgraded... like swapping out the V6 out of an NSX and installing a Harley Davidson V-Twin.
So what do you think? Is a true anti-tuner car something that is completely stock or something that was modified in a way that reduces performance?

It’s like Jason’s weird idea of 1 cylinder supercars.

And don’t forget replacing engines with hams...
But I had a better idea:
Replace the engine with a roast beef...

To de-tune is also to tune, no?

Isn’t ‘de-tune’ like un-tuning... which is essentially anti-tuning, which would be the opposite of tuning?

That NSX is a tuner car that actually works. Which, speaking from experience having come up in the same Honda scene as Mr. Collins, but several years earlier than him, people were already doing back then. It’s just that tuner cars got a bad rep from people making shitty, bad, not-really tuned cars.
Hell, I daily drive a tuner car right now, albeit a BMW. But it’s got over 100 hp more than stock, the suspension is all redone, there’s no way to reach its full potential on the street, and aside from a somewhat bumpier than stock ride is totally well behaved.
That’s not an anti-tuner car, it’s just a good one.

But it’s not like tuning a musical instrument where it’s either in tune or not. You can tune a car up and down and it still works both ways. To tune a car is to modify it in some way.
I think the only anti-tune is a stick figure family on the back.

anti -tuner cars, cars that are worth such an incredible amount as numbers matching that it outright discourages modifications, or even some of these modern cars that make it so that you cant hardly even swap out parts without having to have the dealership un-brick your car, ala jon deere.
and with some of these new cars, it will be hard to manage to get more out of them, as complex as they are wired, and as tightly as they are tuned.......

Strictly speaking, tuning by definition should be all about function, and not at all about form. So tuning is a sub-category of modifying . All tuning is modification, but not all modification is tuning.
Kind of like how “performance” is not always about speed. The word perform literally means to just “do something”. That something may be to go the fastest, or it might be to get the best fuel mileage. Like you said, there’s more than one way to tune a car.
With that in mind, I guess there are still some mods that can be objecetively considered “de-tuning”, like having 30 degrees of camber or something.
