Welcome young grasshopper.

I'm glad you think this is the fastest car you ever driven. It's not, sorry.
It's quick, but not faster than any Civic out there.

Yes you can make any car go faster.
It all depends how much money want to dump on it. It's not cheap, be warned.
Prices and hp are off the top of my head. Don't take them as real world numbers.

Let's start with baby steps.
Quick and easy would be just a simple Open Flash Tablet about $300-500. 5-10hp.
Next would be headers, full exhaust and tune - $800-2000 10-20hp.

After that you want either a turbo or supercharger kit. $2000-10,000. 50-200 hp.
These would come with a tune. Unless you buy second hand.

You could build the engine internals to beef it for boost, but your looking at a $5000+ starting point. Then add the extra turbo/supercharger kit.

There is always the option to go E85. But that goes with its drawbacks.

If you still want more power look into engine swap. That's a long list of parts, labor, and extra fabrication to get stuff to work. Same amount money you "could" buy better car. Unless you really want a bigger hp on this platform.

Keep in mind the more you mod a car the less reliable your car "can" get.

If you want the daily driving reliability with a great fun factor I would spend my money on light weight wheels, sticky tires, and suspension upgrades.
The money I would spend on go-fast parts I would use to upgrade my driving skills. Hit up the local auto-x or track.
