I guarantee you that it will take you years and years and years to outdrive the car to the point you need boost, but you sound like you're closer to the "OMG I TOTALLY NEED BOOST OR ELSE THIS CAR IS UNDRIVABLE BECAUSE MATT FARRAH AND TJ HUNT TOLD ME IT NEEDS TURBOS AND SUPERCHARGERS" end of the spectrum
You are talking about people with three skills; spending money, stomping the gas, stomping the brake. Talking to them about learning to drive the car well is a waste of time. Part of what makes it a great learning tool IS the lack of power. It must suck to live where all you have is a boring strip of road with a stoplight at either the end of it.
