Nitrous comes to mind with the exception of a standing mile run...street racing huh? I'm not sure I would want to take a chance of building a 1000hp motor to take a chance of the local PD confiscating the car. Huge loss there along with all the legal costs/time that would endure. Also, the motor costs would be only part of the equation. You also have to factor in a transmission, rear differential, drive shaft and suspension that could handle that amount of power. To put a package of that degree together, and do so correctly, could put you nearly half the cost of that $150,000 car you were speaking of.
