If you want a fast car, buy a fast car and then mod it if you need it to be faster. Don't try to make a slow car into a fast car. It's ricey, less safe and ultimately a LOT bigger of a money pit.

btdt. ..Yep, back in the day, when I was 17, I did all that . . By the time I was 18/19 I found myself chasing fatigue cracks with extra welded-in plates. --The prob' being the body shells cant take the torque for long. ..leading to stress cracks and tears around the motor mounts. Same goes for the suspension points with a lowered/stiff setup.
As the saying goes; A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. Speaking of. ..
get ready to
get good at tearing in to gearboxes. --those are not too strong either. Ever spin (break) a VW CV? -- I have. It's almost as if the WHOLE car was designed as a grocery-getter.
