A Lamborghini and a Toyota Supra line up to race. The Lamborghini is a 650 horsepower V10 while the Toyota Supra is secretly a 1,600 horsepower inline six. Who will win? There are all kinds of cars that can be modified to go faster than originally built. There are only certain modified cars that can beat stock cars. Depending on the car, modified cars are better because they have a better appearance, competitive prices, and have a much bigger potential for speed.
Stock cars and modified cars each have a large following when based specifically on appearance. Appearance includes, different paint colors, aftermarket additions, and aftermarket rims.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports cars with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving." A supercar is a high performance car that can reach speeds in excess of 200mph. Most new muscle cars cost around $75,000-$105,000, which means with the money left over you could modify a Toyota Supra to leave the muscle cars in the dust. Stock car guys would argue that a Toyota Supra can’t beat anything unless it’s modified. It is a hollow argument. Beginning with the engine the Supra is extremely easy to upgrade. The modified car vs stock car debate has been going for awhile and I don’t think it will ever cease. I agree that rare old cars must stay stock to retain their value. Surprisingly, some old stock cars can be worth millions of dollars! Stock car guys remark, “why buy a car and upgrade it when you could buy a fast car in the first place?” The counter argument to that is that fast stock cars are expensive in the first place. Just because they have massive price tag doesn’t mean they are
