Hmm...Katech engine runs about $9k or so, add $2k for tyres, gears, and tuning, puts the total cost of mods ~$11k or so, add 30k 'Vette, so ~$41k for a 500hp Corvette with full interior, A/C, and complete driveability. What's it cost to put a Civic in the 11's?
Is the passenger seat still in the car? Carpet?

And at the end of the day, regardless of who won or lost, one of the racers is going home in a Corvette, and the other one is going home in a really quick economy car, or on a tow truck.

But our disagreement was about power and fuel economy. Match and point on that issue, sir.

But, if we were talking Mustangs...
