Mark (A RACER)
Jim P (Dr Ford) and myself were all talking the outher day, and 5-10 years ago we would have dreamed to have 1000 hp engines, and now we do and it is still not enough, maybe i am feeling old but 5 years ago if you seen a turbo matbe two or a charger it was a big thing and now everyone has then, funny how time flyes

[juicedimpss]

isnt that the truth,1k/hp isnt shit anymore for you big dawgs.

[SSLEVO]

Yeah, there will always be someone faster... I think i will stick to road racing, still just as expensive, but huge power isn't needed to go fast.

[scottie K]

"just as expensive" You must only road race once a year! Drag racing is a cheap way to go even if you want huge #'s.

Take the pinnicle of Road Racing, Ferrari $350 million a year plus. Nobody in the public knows the actual budget.

What does a top tier top fuel team spend? NOT $350 million!

Its too crazy out there now.

More than ever its the biggest wallet that wins races.

More reason to build a nice street car, get it to a point where its enough to snap your head back when you floor it, and just enjoy.

Yep!

Especially for us little guys. As much as I'd love to build that 900hp 4-rotor twin-turbo... I don't have the 10 grand to drop on the eccentric shaft.

So I'll just build something I can afford, and make it fun.

Absolutely. I agree with this post 100 %. All it comes down to these days is who has the fattest wallet, not who is the most creative/inventive. It's become a very unfair playing field, where someone like me, for instance, wouldn't have a prayer in Hell, as I JUST DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS.

Although money is a necessity, it takes a whole lot more then a fat wallet!

Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case....If someone has a big enough wallet, they don't need to know anything/do anything, all they need to do is PAY someone else to do everything for them. It happens this way sometimes.

Somewhat true.

Driving a 1,000+ h.p. car takes a skill that can't be taught with any amount of money.

I couldn't have said it better. If anyone thinks you can buy 1000hp or more and thats it, they are living on "Fantasy Island"! It is only the beginning.

That gets traction too. That's key in a street car

Couldn't agree more.

No matter what your motorsport of choice there will always be someone faster. Only word of wisdom I have is build your car for what YOU want it to be. Don't try to build it to impress someone else. Have fun with the thing and don't get too caught up in paying XXX% more to go just a touch faster.

Fun is getting on the Howell ramp going a little sideways at 75... right Ron My car may not ever go 10s, it may never break any records at RA, Gingerman, etc, but if it puts a smile on my face that's all that matters.

I couldn't agree more, except that your car is more than capable of 10's

Especially with that super slick paint job!!
maybe 9s after the "finish polish"

1st and 2nd Gen RX7's are cheap to be had and plenty of fun. If the wonder box scares you off just drop in an LS1 like everyone else and you'll have a hell of a handful of car.
