That is an interesting observation. Suddenly, supercars are attainable. Not very long ago, a 400-horsepower muscle car was a dream for the aftermarket; a performance number restricted to 6-figure, mid-engined sports cars. Today, the right parts could put some Italian-speaking racers in your rearview mirror. It is good to witness the rise of the affordable sports car.
