In a sporty manual car, no big old Jag or Merc saloons.

I've seen a fair few Mitsubishi Evo's with that sort of power advertised for about 7-8k. Same for RX7's.

Winner.
Maybe not the cheapest, but certainly one of the most exciting ways.
It's nice but this is cheaper at £6750 http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/mazd...

Can anyone beat it?

Now this might be a typo but how about 1098bhp for £5,000 in a cool shell too?

Evan if it was true, I wouldn't be seen dead in it. I despise Morris Minors

Not an easy route, but cheap. £800 worth of LS400 and a secondhand supercharger kit. A Vortech kit went secondhand on eBay not too long ago for £650. I reckon if you were handy with the spanners, and creative with parts sourcing, you'd have it all done and ready to roll for under £2k. Would make a heck of a sleeper too.
It's not sporty and would cost a fortune to make manual. Same for Supra's, GS300's and Soarers's. Any manual big power Toyota usually has a price to match.

Mazda 6 MPS . 5-6k worth of mods will get you there starting from scratch aslong as you fit all yourself after outsourcing the forge engine build .

5th injector?! Surely that's a 90's ghetto technique. I've never seen a 450bhp Mazda 6, has anyone built one?

That 6k Scooby has to be the best suggestion so far.

good god thats fugly.
It is the runt of the Mustang family but is kind of cool still. Not sure I'd have one over an Evo though
