Certainly if you do a performance upgrade (more hp) and drive faster, economy's going to suffer. I heard or read somewhere that if you drive a Koenigsegg at 55 mph, economy is great. 225 mph -- not so good.
I've also read that fleet fuel economy is a factor -- the factory will tune for fleet mileage.
And your warranty may suffer if you do mods and, for example, blow your drive train.
I had no problem modifying an out-of-warranty C900. That was more a matter of bringing hp to a more modern spec (Viggen-like). Those engines can take a lot. The tranny did, however, suffer. Twice.
