Cheapest/easiest 450~WHP boosted, New-ish car
I was wondering what’s the cheapest way to get a 450~ whp boosted car? It has to be boosted with some form of forced induction, not NA. No C6 base Vettes, or other similar cars. Number of cylinders, displacement and the method of forced induction doesn’t matter. Hybrid cars are ok, converting an NA car into a boosted car is also ok as long as the cost of the FI kit is included. Upping the boost on a factory-boosted car is also ok, as long as the cost of upgrading the internals is also included. Don’t say “500hp Evo X on stock internals”, please. Doesn’t matter what transmissions the car has. No diesels, sorry. Nothing older than the late 80s. No engine swaps, might as well consider the donor car in that case.
For example, a Stillen supercharger kit is about $15,000 CAD after installation on a G37, and can make about 450whp @ 10lbs. After the cost of the $15,000 car, it’s ~$30,000 total.

335i
an e36 325i can get some big numbers with a decent sized turbo
In Canada, easily the Aristo lol.
$8000 car with some cooling upgrades could probably do it for an Aristo
An audi with the 20vt engine could reach the 450whp relatively easily, i assume for around 15-20k € uf you find a cheap one
Supercharged 2013 mustang v6. 400 whp guaranteed with no other upgrades, but tweak the boost and supercharger belt and 450 is within reach.
Crown Vic. Police interceptor: under a grand. Most nicer superchargers will run you in the whereabouts of 5-10k, an engine rebuild should cost 1-3k. So anywhere between 7k and 14k for a crazy blown sedan
