That is far from a cheap build, and I haven't even addressed aerodynamics, wheels, and tires.
aim lower... a beat to hell one and rebuild it with GOOD stuff instead of stocker stuff.

basically find a rolling chassis SS even if it has a million miles on it..
rip out interior.
put in cage and some Recaros remove rear seats and anything else not tied down
rebuild engine from bottom to top with end goal in mind ( boost or NA)
complete race coil over suspension and a brakes upgrade.
betting you can be at this level for under 40k total
if you find the right donor car.

No bling.. no options.. just a bad mother street/track machine.
