It would take literally THOUSANDS more dollars to get an MTX L4 (banger) to reliably run 12 sec 1/4s without always breaking something. Simple as that. I just wouldn't spend thousands to go from a 17 down to a 15.9.
And I wonder what that stock GTX Grand-Am owner is thinking as he blows past both the Zetec and the 4 door with the SVT badge. But I DO see your point about for the fun of the hobby though. You ARE onto something there 
but the cost of my car plus what the 300hp turbo from terry it is still cheaper than what I would of had to pay for a SVT back in 98 by a few thousand dollars....
and with 300hp it would sure be nice to see the look on a guy in a fbody or a stang when I'm sitting there next to him going down the track.
BTW I paid under $10k for my car and what was the SVT when it was new??? sure give me ALOT of room for turbo money when you look at it from that point of view....
