mabey a dumb Q but..

is it possible to fix/soupe up supercars? (ie. ferrari f50, mclaren f1, lambroghini marcilaugo) ?????

considering the cars can cost up to $1,000,000+ you would think theyd use only the best parts. but then when you look at it, mclarens for example only have 600 something HP while you see R34s gain 1200HP+.

someone explain.

You can ALWAYS make a car more powerful. Now how much it would cost to do that is a different matter.

Exactly, stuff can always be done to a car, but you could never know the price, could be $1000 for an intake

A few years ago, the creator of "DOOM" turboed his Testarosa and F50.... and yes, they were WAY TOO fast.

thats just one tuner company that caters to the type of cars youre talking about. i dont see why it wouldnt be possible. the cars might cost that much, but theyre still tuned down versions of the race cars.

if you can get a street ferrari to have the same type of performance as an f1 car, then youre doing good...but that would cost A LOT!
