If you buy a 9 second h car for 250, then yes, Mike, you would win. Also note that I do indeed like and respect H cars, and happen to own one. I also have had a secret crush on you for months. But anyway... In regards to the excuses made by domestic owners, I'd like them to show me 100+ whp for around $800, without the bottle. I love the bottle, but I'm talking about no-limit useability. I don't know enough about domestics to know if this is possible, but I kinda doubt it.

Also, although the fact that no one is going to give you 2000 to build your car is relatively mute, it should be mentioned that you said 2050, including the car.

And if you're taking a year off to let us catch up, why is it that there are a few of us almost a full second ahead of you and you still aren't running? tongue.gif

Ahh, Mr. Moushon, careful here. The Buick is up more than 200hp at the crank from stock for a $400 used turbo, a $200 used exhaust, a $200 set of used injectors, and a $100 fuel pump.

My apologies for the omission of the Turbo Buicks. I can honestly say that I place those cars in a class of their own, however. Those cars are amazing, it's like a big displacement DSM in the way that the 3.8T responds to mods. For the record, I was generally referring to primarily the 5.0/LT1/LS1 crowd. After doing some research, I found that the 5.3 Chevy truck engine can get 70 whp from a cam and 1.6 rockers. Too bad it's in a truck. I wonder what a cam makes in an LS1?

like i said it was nothig personal r.a.n.nt.a just a pet peeve. as well as the people who always post up the 'give me something for free' shat.

Same here. Its a personal pet peeve when people go around saying it takes $50K to make a import, particularly a that other car that we shall not name, fast. Most of the time the car that they have, they bought already modded so they think they can use that amount as how much has put into it. Thats why I made the $250 9 sec that other car that we shall not name joke.

Everyone build what they want for reasons that they want. If you spend $5K or $50K and run the same time, who cares, as long as you're having fun doing what you're doing. biggthumpup.gif
