Why are some cars more commonly modded than others? Like GTRs, Supras, Evos

Some cars appear more frequently on YouTube and social media as modified rockets than others. But with skill, can’t you put any engine or any other part into any car?

Actually, if trying to maximize performance, why not build from scratch? Why is “1,800hp GTR” more interesting or common than “1,800hp car built in garage”?

Every car you listed is turbocharged, which is very easy and cheap to increase power. ECU tuning, bigger turbo, bigger intercooler and you have 100hp more. You can’t do this that easily with naturally aspirated engines.
