Worth it? Not worth it? What's the score? I don't mind moding my car if the results are meaningful.

If it makes the car look good. Gives a distinctive appearance, or makes the driving experience more enjoyable.

But, I can't stand throwing our hard earned money away on nothing.

Please let us know of the benefits if any of switching to Iridium plugs.

aren't u selling your car?
??????????????????????????

Why bother modding if you are going to sell it.
They won't give u xtra $80 for it

 

probably not worth it. i have not seen any credible reports yet. hard to believe spark plugs alone will make significant difference. if they really work, you would have seen all race cars using them.

 

well, according to this post, theyre worth it:

LagunaTL,

Right on! ALL the hard core race cars use NGK Platinum plugs! They don't have to change them for 100,000 miles!

P.S. This is sarcasm for the sarcacm impaired.
