Depends a lot on what car/engine you go with. A glhs omni with a lightly built 2.4 swap and a bigass turbo could do those numbers pretty damned cheap
A car that is going to get a new crate motor(any crate motor) is going to be alot nicer than any FWD dodge, even if that dodge is mint.

I can build up an oil cooled GSXR that will stomp all for $7K, but I try to compare apples to apples.

The argument is what you can do for the price of that engine, not a comparison of a car sporting it.
