do NOT buy a modded car if you know nothing about it. it will cost you in the long run. most heavily modded cars are less reliable than OEM and will need special care/maintenance. and if anything goes wrong and you need to trouble shoot the car, you will have no idea what to begin with first since you did not modify the car yourself and just have a list of mods to go by.

buy a used car that is mostly stock and stay away from cars that already have a turbo, supercharger, or some other big mod like that. once you buy the car and drive it for a bit, then consider your options. just warning you though, it is a never ending process and won't be easy on your wallet lol

however, if you just want a car that feels powerful, you will get a better bang for your buck if you buy a Mustang. the new generation of Mustangs are really nice with the IRS and can actually go around corners. just avoid crowds of people when exiting a parking lot.

EDIT: you also need to keep in mind that this car was not built to withstand high horsepower from the factory. you will start running into the weak links of the car (likes axles and transmissions) eventually, even if you do build your motor. then it just spirals downhill from there and eventually you will have dropped 2x the price of the car for supporting mods
