tuners refers to "tuning" the chassis. aka camber, caster, roll center, f&r toe., exc... the also tune the engine for maximun performance. the air/fuel ratio changed for maximun hp and stuff like that. it is more concentrated on how well the chassis is set up, and hop precise the motor volume is rather than the traditional hp is everything american cars.

HEY,
I think they are called tuers because you can "tune" them into your driving ability and style, and they are "tunable" i guess.

Tuners refer to the small compact cars that are customized and given performance upgrades. Typically, they are Japanese cars; Honda/Acura, Toyota, Mitsubishi... etc.
I'm not sure where the term "Tuners" originates from.
