You might want to scrutinize that statement a few times before leaning on it.
Let's put it this way. My Spyder ate up thousands of dollars in off-the-shelf, common modifications that had been pre-catalogued in upgrade pathways. Then, asides from those costs, there were maintence and break-down repair costs...
The bottom line is, money, not skill, is the limiting factor. There are people all over the place who will do anything you want if the price is right. We've all seen LS1 miatas, supercharged minivans at the track, a 10.4 litre '69 camaro on E-Bay (made more hp and toprque than the dyno could calculate), jet-engines on an eclipse and an MR2 on E-Bay, West Coast Customs wierd creations, Chip Foose at work, etc...the list for bizzare and exotic extravagence is
limitless. You got the money,
anything is possible. But the meaning of "I got money" varies greatly from person to person. If I won the lottery, I would probably dedicate no less than $60,000 for such a project...needless to say, a great majority of the cost would be labor, not parts. Hell, there's a Hot Rod shop here in San Diego that...wait till you hear this...charges $1,500 just to give you an
estimate of how much it will cost to paint your car. Nothing else, just a rough estimate, looking at the car for 3 minutes with a clip board and writing some notes on paper. So yeah, things can get pretty crazy real fast.
