Jason and Derek have modified many of the cars in their personal collections, which makes Jason wonder: is any of those cars so good that any modification would make it worse?

The discussion begins with a look at both Jason’s and Derek’s personal fleets and the modifications (if any) they did to them: Jason’s daily driver Mk7 Volkswagen e-Golf, his beloved but heavily modified Mk2 Scirocco 16V, the bat-shit bitch basket Mk1 Cabriolet, and even his OEM+ E30 wagon.

Derek divulges his vast 964-chassis Porsche 911 mod list, and talks W124 wagon mods before they both look back at some of the cars they’ve sold: MKIII Golf, Elise, Isuzu Pup, E39 BMWs, and more!

But were the modifications they installed necessary fixes for factory deficiencies, or simply a matter of personal preference?

Then they get down to business – what car(s) left the factory perfect? Candidates up for debate range from:

Cadillac’s CT4 and CT5 Blackwing

Alpha-chassis Chevrolet Camaros

Chevy SS sedan

Aston Martin V12 Vantage S 7-speed

Honda S2000

Nissan 240Z

Ferrari 308 GT4

Mercedes W201 (190E)

Mercedes W202 C43

Mercedes R129 500SL / SL500

E39-chassis BMW 5-series

Various Porsche 911 models

And more!

What do you think? What car(s) were perfect from the moment they left the factory floor?
