I want an FRS that is more or less reliable ( I understand things are bound to break ) But I also want it to have roughly 400-450 horse power. I realize this may seem like an arbitrary number and I suppose I do not have a great reason for justifying it. But I know I don't really need any more than that for how light the car is.

Long story short, a most daily driven vehicle that I can take to the track for some fun. (Yes I know it handles well already at the track, but everyone loves that acceleration)

Thanks for the question!
You feel it needs almost triple the WHP? You don't feel you "need" more than that?
You are describing a dedicated drag car for that level of power not a reliable mostly daily driver.
As far as inexpensive goes you will need to more than double the price of the car to hit those levels.
