And this, folks, is what's called, "Taking things out of proportion."
A few examples of film car modifications:
for the 1969 Film, "The Love Bug," One of the VW Beetles was fitted with a Porsche engine for the racing scenes.
if the game had motor swap and a paint shop well Polyphony wouldnt haft to get that license now would they
For "Starsky and Hutch," in 2001, one of the cars was fitted with a built "Monster" 351 Winsdor engine, and strengthened drivetrain, for the burnout scenes.
See above
many of the "Dukes of Hazzard" General Lee vehicles featured strengthened suspensions to deal with the rigors of jumping.
like i said a paint shop would work greatly here as they wont haft to license the vehicle.
Don't even make me bring up that damn RB26-Powered Mustang, (Think of that one even further modified a minute) or the Veilside RX-7.
that car never ran in the movie, they wouldnt get it to work so they overlayed skyline engine sounds over it. i dunno of the other as i dont watch ricer movies
As well, most cars had rollcages, which, of course, affects the handling by stiffening the car. Many cars built in the "Smog Control" Era ('70s-80s) don't make enough power for stunt duty stock, so the engines are thuroughly gone-through. In other words, these things have the potential to be FAST.
But, moreover, What would happen if, say, you took one of these movie cars and modified it? Granted, it's be about like building up one of the cars in Tuner Village: stuff's already been done for you. and, moreover, What would be more fun than "Fixing" one of the Fast and Furious cars: that is, dumping all the rice off on the road, the garish lights, the heavy, overdone interiors and "Saving" them from their shameful former life. Or, you could just make fun of the kid who decided his NAWSZ would be enough to keep him in the pack, as he nails the wall in Brian's Eclipse from the first movie.
On the trucks...They race them up Pikes Peak, and on road courses all over the world. and they make over 1,200 HP...maybe more than that.
-> I do apologize for these delays, but as I edit the list it becomes more time consuming. 
-> I might remove/deduct some cars from manufacturers that I'm not too aware or questionable for that manner. Here are the manufacturers that it might be affected:
