When you see a high powered sports car on the road or track your first thought is to wonder what’s under the hood. Many times these vehicles have engines that are made specifically for the car, but in some cases these engines were borrowed or shared with another model. What might surprise you is to learn that some of the most amazing sports cars we have loved had engines from some of the most mainstream cars on the road. This allows you to see what can happen when a car tunes up the engine to let out the performance the engine can provide.

Power on the Crazy Level
We love powerful cars. When we discuss cars in general some of the most important figures, at least in our minds, typically include the horsepower, torque, top speed, quarter mile time, time to reach sixty mph and much more to do with the power, speed and performance of the vehicle. Not often do we hold back on a car and ask it to go slower, in fact we are constantly looking for new ways to pull more power out of an engine in order to bring about the best we can get and see just what more power will do. Strange as it might be, some cars just might have too much power for their own good; here are some examples to give you an idea:
Kit Car or Not, This Thing is Awesome
When you take to the task of building a kit car it’s hard to know what is going to come out of it. Yes the creations can be unique at the core, but most kit cars are boring, barely offering any power and usually poorly designed; that is unless you are Ferris Rezvani and the kit car you create is called the Beast. This is no typical car that comes out of several boxes (some assembly required) instead it appears Rezvani has his heart set on proving his cars are worth the time and effort put into them.
