Sure, it will go fast in a straight line, but none of the refinements will be there
I like your analogy but I think this is where it breaks down. Whereas a Civic will still likely at least function, the risk with going the cheap route here is that when upgrading or messing with a very very cheap or off-spec gun is that it might end up being DOA, even after a lot of work.
