Proof that you have no point and completely contradict yourself...

Whether something is a waste of money is entirely subjective and something I don't intend to argue.
But, I think that most here would agree 500 bucks for 15-20 whp is money well spent. That would be the most significant horsepower boost for the GE short of 4,000 dollars and a custom turbo set up.

I need to look into those 3hp spark plugs when I get near 30k
As far as aftermarket support goes, well, the economy certainly has alot to do with it but in the meantime, why not lighten up the car and mod the suspension bits. Those two things make the car even more fun to drive, so that's a start. I'm not sure what percentage of owners would go that far anyways with their cars right away, so IMO its supply and demand.
My plan right now is to change out the tires and wheels, which I'm doing this Monday. After that, I'm going to enjoy the car and come the fall of 2011 when I get ready for our 9th annual Fall Dragon Run, I'll be adding Hawk or EBC perf pads and stainless steel brakelines to the mix. Maybe by then there will be a good, reliable tune and if it checks out, I'll get that too.
When you think about it, there is no "hidden perf" in this car really, the K&N typhoon intake is supposed to give us almost 5 hp on the dyno and since its K&N and I trust them, I went with that. Some complained about the price and that's where things start with companies stepping up to the plate for us in the aftermarket world. I can feel the gain and when I dyno the car, I'm sure it will give me what was claimed.
In closing, just enjoy the car and mod it the way you want, nothing wrong with modding for looks and perf you know

CR-Z for all your frankenstein needs....

The system delivers a combined peak output of 122 bhp (91 kW) at 6000 rpm and 128 lb·ft (174 N·m) at 1000 to 1500 rpm (123 lb·ft (167 N·m) on CVT-equipped models). The gasoline motor itself contributes only 111 bhp (83 kW) at 6000 rpm and 106 lb·ft (144 N·m) at 4800 rpm. An early road test of a Japanese-market CR-Z resulted in 0-60 in 10.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 17.6 seconds.
