    Drive it off a cliff. Terminal velocity just kicked in yo.

    Edit: I honestly have no idea regarding your platform, but I feel bad leaving this post as a dickish one-liner. So here you go...

    I imagine a swap or turbo is the most cost effective way for you to get faster. Lot of folks do bolt-on mods, but unless your car is turbo from the factory, you don't typically see significant performance gains. Problem being, you spend all this money on the bolt-ons that it can wind up being as expensive as a turbo in the end... and for less performance gain.

    I fell into that category (spending a shit ton on bolt-ons), and even though my car was factory turbo, most of those parts were wasted and sold for pennies on the dollar when i decided to get more serious (didn't work with my current setup). So just think about your long-term goals for the car, and make your decision based upon those, as opposed to a few extra HP in the short term.
