lookin fer 10's

I've got a 94 formula thats stock except for a bunch of suspension parts and was just curious as to how much power it usually takes to break into the 10's with an M6 and good (not great) traction, once I get a 12 bolt and tires that is,.... got some money to spend and trying to decide on a combination. Thanks.

Power to weight ratio. Guessing at a 3500 pound car with driver, you'll need about 520hp to run 10.99. The heavier the car the more HP is required. A 2500 pound roadster only needs 372 HP to run 10.99.
