Can aftermarket/custom be comparable in quality to stock?

Really? I don’t see hardly any modified cars and I have 3 modified cars that are as reliable as my 2 Camry’s and old Ranger pickup. I "built’ all 3 and can fix all of them because of that.

This video pretty much takes the cake for how you can ruin a car with poorly done mods. Stanced Civic Struggles to Exit Driveway - Honda-Tech

In most cases it is better to buy a muscle car that is already done. if you build your own or have it built, you will never get all the money back that you have put into it. it will be a lot cheaper to get one already done and then put your personal touches to it.

My money-no-object car build would be to take a 1967 Mustang shells that Year One sells and build from the ground up using the parts to finish it looking like a '67, but use all modern suspension and engine/transmission parts underneath. Last looked a couple years ago and a brand new Shelby GT-500 engine was $60k, transmission was another $20k- that’s $100k before I buy body panels and suspension parts. Probably a good $150k by the time I get suspension, panels, interior and paint done.
Not sure if I’d go simple and do a Shelby blue with white stripes and white interior with matching Shelby blue stitching and accents, or spice it up and do something like a burgundy wine and silver two tone with cream colored interior.

Or it can be built for you in Orlando, comes with a one year bumper to bumper warranty, if you have $200,000.
