It takes a bunch of 1 off builds like hotrodz, spooler, Kels, soho to inspire and create ideas for that average Joe. Sometime that average Joe build works and is fast for no reason, that in turn sparks interest from other demographics so start to pour money into R&D.

Hondas are fast as **** now which is inspiring for the hopeful future of VQ's, but the reason why they are is because of how cheap it is. Blow your engine? Throw a $100 junkyard engine in it and try again. Parts are cheap. It's not uncommon to see 800+whp hondas with ebay turbos now lol.
More people would be willing to try and push boundaries and experiment when they are not hit by a giant wall of cost.
