$2K buys you 300+ HP, then it would be fun.
It's hard to tell what the car looks like, because he's obviously avoided all the angles that make it look bad. Like dead on from the side.

Fiero based so lots of swap V8's to pick from
older caddy 4.9 pushrod motors bolt in for 200 hp
and a cost of a grand or two done by a DIYSer
northstar is harder esp wireing
but nets 300hp alloy 4v DOHC
and 400hp is a few mods away
but costs go up as custom bits are needed
or good old or new small block chevys need a kit
and cost 2000 plus the motor wireing ect
LS-1 are more but lighter esp all alloy ones
then theres the v6 options
3.4 bigger but same 60 deg v6 for 180 hp
new but complex 3.9 v6 has 240hp and a 6speed
or the older 3.4 DOHC motor for 215 hp
those all bolt in with little sweat
90 deg all iron v6 in 3800 SI,S2,S3 in both normal and supercharged form is an eazy swap too
200 to 300+ HP for them
then there are some desent 4 bangers too
eco-tec and Quad 4 but those need a near same trans swap and a turbo or SC to get real HP
my Fiero has a north star V8 5 speed
vett brakes
tube A-arms coilovers ect
custom anti roll bars
18'' wheels and stickie race tyres
but a stock Fiero GT body
