Perhaps i should define what i mean a little better.
I agree its fine modding the 350/280 with parts like headers or sport cats things that don't cost an arm and a leg but when somebody is prepared to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on mods they might as well upgrade for the same price.
You gain the power and don't get any of the downsides.
The exceptions being countries where the bigger engined models cost massively more for whatever reason like Eddy pointed out.
Tax is the killer i think but in places where they work by emissions and similar upgrading a lower model car to high power levels will normally increase your emissions and as a result of that your running costs to a level higher then the N/A 55.
Fine spend a few k on the cars but when you start talking serious money why not upgrade?
