And of course build it yourself!Remaining $5k: Gator Racing Stage 3 axles + upgraded hubs ($1k estimate), custom Eibach springs (1k lb rear, probably about 300lb front), Koni Yellows ($1k total for springs + shocks), MT ET Drags & 13" Bogarts ($1k), TUNING + misc machining/balancing costs ($2k).
That is all
With that combo your great-great-grandpa could run 10s. Draco, I thought it might've been someone from Z28
And yes my car is very recognizable Stupid riceboy stickers!

How about this Ricer man. I have found many problem with your claiming. Working transmissions for a living you are totally blowing your self on the gear ratio thing. What We only have one gear? Hmmm.. A six speed with double over drive seems to have more then one gear. NOW take the 350Ft TQ most here make stock and put it through a set of 4.10s and try your numbers again. add to this a gutted out f-body is UNDER 3,000 with driver and cage and you start loosing even more. THEN add the new LS1 guys shifting at 8k all day long....With 400+Ci(Oh sorry 6.6L+) engines.
HP? You are going to spend $15k to get 500hp? Heck I am cranking out 500hp at the motor NOW! with a STOCK short block! This is with WELL under $5k in HP mods.
FWD is NOT a superior chassis. It is just cheap and that is why they are made. You check with any real racer and they will tell you not to waste your time with the unless class rules make you. Pick up one of the latest Ipmort mags and read ANY of the Drifter comments on the subject. Ever notice the Fastest imports are RWD or AWD?
Next you are going to say I have no clue? Problem is I started with the FWD car that got this craze going...and it was NOT an import. Twelve years ago I had a low 13sec Shelby Charger. Bone stock motor and Turbo. I had $140 in mods...A Custom Shelby 18# Ecm. Got it at the dealer. This car kicked azz! Then again how would I know? OH my other car at the time was a 10 Second 67 Camaro....
This car had all the same problems FWD cars still have.
I am starting to look for an inport to build. You won't like it though. I am ripping the motor and trans out of the front and putting it in the back where it belongs! Ala Fiero and MR2.
For the rest I have seen FWD cars here at PR. One that comes to mind is a Probe in ITE. He is usually behind the Corvettes and F-body's in the class He gethers them up in the twistys then get totaly wasted anytime there is more then a 100ft of striaghts. He always makes a resectable showing in the class.
Ricer boy here is just going to **** big green cookies when the new motor is done. 700hp for around $8K BEFORE a power adder and 900-1,000+ with Power adder That is with a STOCK PCM. If I go to a FAST I can change the cam and shift at 8,500 for another 100+HP N/A(all motor)
Not to bad for a car that will be capable of running a 9 sec pass and still tearing up the road course or AX.
OH Yeah it will still be packing a full inteior with PS,PW,A/C,PDL,Stereo and cage with saftey equipment.
Now at this point you are saying Bull $#!t. Ask anyone here that knows or knows of me. I talk the talk and walk the walk and when it comes to real world HP? I can usually pull out enough to cover the score.

Oh, and why would you want a six-speed? Would it be (possibly) so you could benefit from gearing?
Try again, tranny man... Notice that a gutted f-body is under 3000 lbs? Is that supposed to be special? A gutted EF is about 1600 lbs with the cage.

And BTW, drifting is ricey. It's showboating. It's NOT real racing, so why would I read a drifter's comment on anything? I don't care about showboating.
And BTW - the fastest imports right now are primarily FWD.
