The Number 2 way to ruin a car is a tricky one, because you can make a car more fun to drive, BUT this is the big one, do you drive it more because of the mods? So are you really upgrading it? or just making a lateral move? or worse, making the car more specialized to the point you drive it less?
For instance removing the A/C does make a car little more fun to drive but now you might not drive it as much. So that would be a down grade.
Sport seats are great when you are in them and for short trips, but they are harder to get in and out of and not good for long trips, maybe less driving, and not necessarily an improvement, but you might drive it more because of them? Time will tell with that mod.
Loud exhaust, fun sound maybe more power, but now the wife does not want to take the 911 anymore on the road trip to San Diego because it drones on the Freeway, the car will be used less, definite down grade.

And of course the major suspension mods really should be measured in amount of time you spend in the car and not your lap times. If you drive it less but have better lap times then the car was ruined.
