About 20k of mods (and lots of blood, tears, and sweat) on my Galant, which was worth $4500 at the time, got it to over 600 BHP. But it was also hopeless and FWD.

Point is, I'd rather have a car that's engineered to put down 500 BHP from the factory than spend endless amounts of money trying to make a car engineered to do less do that much more...
