i 100 percent agree within 10 years the aftermarket is going to be dying out. Encryption based ecus, more turbo tech, the list can go on and on. But more the most part besides the enthusiast crowd and maybe someone wanting to throw in a tune. The days of major major mods are over. Now the v8 guys as long as the engines don’t get too nuts won’t change much but all the turbo motors sheeeeet

if you think encryption tech is what will kill the aftermarket i think you are wrong, what that might do is make the stand alone sector grow larger in order to take over what you can no longer do with the stock stuff if it really gets to be unbreakable. i believe what can really kill the aftermarket are laws like the ones on California where you can no longer sell any aftermarket parts

The days of back yard engine swaps, head and cam packages are done. You can't build a car that will complete with stock factory cars. So what's the point. The car hobby isn't going to be around much longer except for a few die hards

What? The engine swap game is bigger than ever. Swapping complete late model drivetrains into early model cars. Ford, GM and Dodge are selling / offering more crate engines than ever before. Hell, Ford is pulling Gen 3 Coyotes straight off the production line and selling them - they even offer a standalone controller / harness package.

Look around this site. People modifying EB's and GT's and V6 Mustangs to have sometimes double the HP they had from the factory.
