But here’s the real beauty.
The aftermarket is absolutely massive.
Basic bolt -ons like intake, exhaust, and a tune push you into the 300 horsepower range for under $1 ,000.
Want more?
Supercharger kits are abundant and can get you 400 plus horsepower for $3 ,000 to $4 ,000.
Parts are dirt cheap.
A starter motor costs $50.
Brake pads are $30.
Oil changes are $25 if you do them yourself.
