Default Fast, Reliable, Cheap: pick two ...

Ive seen some sigs that say "Fast, reliable, cheap: pick two and only two." Now say a person picks "fast" and "reliable." How fast can reliable car go? Or better yet what is the fastest reliable car you know of?

It would also have to depend on the platform you choose. All Motor seems to be a (somewhat) more reliable venue for power compared to FI, but it's also not cheap You look at FI and think Fast somewhat cheaper ( with a DIY setup), but it's not always reliable.

Also, you have to keep in mind the tuning aspect of both, with the right tuner either setup can be "Fast and Reliable" and even cheap
