How hard is it to get more hp?

One thing ive alwayts wondered ever since i got into street racing was how hard is it to make a slow car fast? And how expensive it is. so if you would add something that might help answer my question.

Re: How hard is it to get more hp?

That's a pretty vague question, you are gonna need to be more specific than that...

Re: How hard is it to get more hp?

you can get into the 12s easy with a turbo, not using nitrous, you just gotta find the right car/engine setup to do it with...hell you can get into the 12's with a foxbody mustang 5.0 if you know the right mods to put on it.
Edit: and is it cheap to get a foxbody 5.0 into the 12s?...let me put it this way...it's aeons cheaper than trying to get a maxima into the 12s.

To make some thing into a 12 sec car? What kind of question is that? Could you be more vague?


For an Enzo you would have to add a parachute and for a tercel you would have to pour thousands upon thousands of dollars.

Re: How hard is it to get more hp?

evo? basic bolt on stuff, hell some can do it stock
WRX? reflash the ecu to put out more boost, then basic bolt ons like cat back exhaust, turbo down pipe, maybe a bigger intercooler
Celica? jesus, lots
MR2 spyder? you mean the new ones? lots as well
Supra TT? hardly anything
Mustang? Already answered that question, but it takes less than a celica, and more that a twin turbo supra.

Re: How hard is it to get more hp?

$4,000 will put a 99+ GT mustang into the low 12s. Foxbodys can run 12s for $1,000 if you know how to do your own work.

Re: How hard is it to get more hp?

you know speed demon... i noticed your picture of the naked vehicle. it's off topic i know, but i was thinking "if i was him, i'd look at that and go "what the hell do i do next?" cause that looks so confusing and so very depressing, i would never be able to strip a car that much down...
