[QUOTE=karl_1052;399112][QUOTE=TommyHotWheel;399052]For $7,000 I could have paint, wheels, tires, interior, suspension and engine rebuild w/ power adder plus money for gas and maybe a cage.

Maybe if you are buying used parts. No way $7K is going to get you a 9-10 second motor(that will last more than a week) with all those other parts.


That would be nice to swap in my vert, but for that dosh, I would like a little whine with my cheese.
Depends a lot on what car/engine you go with. A glhs omni with a lightly built 2.4 swap and a bigass turbo could do those numbers pretty damned cheap
