To be fair, majority of B58s are still under lease/factory warranty and are in commuter sedans instead of full on sports cars. The current B58 community circles around bolt-ons than can be easily removed if the car needs to be taken to the dealership or traded in.
With all that being said, as...
I don't think they will do anything.
The ones who have purely chased high hp numbers in the past have moved on to other platforms and current owners are more likely to be enthusiasts of the model itself. For the owners with the inferiority complex to be invalidated at the fact that another car...
