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!
I think you're looking at the wrong car TBH. Yes people have reached those power levels, based on what I have read, they have not been reliable. Then as others have said, for the cost it would take to make that power, you could get a car that already comes with that power from the factory (i.e. your reliability)

My 2 cents? Drive down to your local chevy dealer, buy an SS 1LE and call it a day. It's exactly what you're looking for.
