With a lot of help from people that know what they are doing, and a whole lot of money, sure. It's a lot more economical to make something that comes well-suited to modification fast though.

If you have to modify the car to make it the way you want, chances are that you bought the wrong car to begin with

They don't make any cars that have the features I look for in a car.

I will have to disagree with you on that. By that logic, anyone who modifies their car bought the wrong one. Sometimes the car you want is out of your reach, but you can modify the one you have to try to replicate the performance. Example, I want a GT-R, but I bought a Z. I can buy a TT kit for the Z and modify it to make its performance closer to the GT-R and will have spent half as much money as buying an actual GT-R.
