Drag week 2014

[Gammaboy]

Pop quiz: if you could build and take a car from here to the US drag week, what would you build???

Rover 75/MG ZT V8 Touring with Ford GT spec modular and big turbos.

Actually, that would be kinda cool.

[GSRman]

dream car Ford 5.4 Modular alloy block out of GT Supercar in a fox body Mustang or even something from 1999 up. twin Precision 6466 turbo's pump out a nice easy 1500-1600hp and cruise the cunt all day n night. Supra 2JZ would need NOS to spool a decent size turbo unsure if NOS allowed with another form of forced induction.

you'd end up in unlimited like the torana did - needing 6's or GTFO.


Whats the fastest streetable supra around though?

VU SS Ute just for old times sake.

[Marv]

Drag week car? Maybe an A9X replica with a turbo 5.3 LS.

Or just take Terry Seng's VC with a 6L iron LS in it.

Given a reasonable budget I would build my '68 Valiant wagon into a twin turbo EFI big block cruiser and dress it up like a '68 Dart. The Yank would recognize the front but be like "WTF!" on the wagon part because they never had '68 Dart Wagons over there. Something Aussie but not so unusual that they wouldn't get it.

yes do that.. or with you ute. that would also spin them right out

I'd think a high 8 with something like a gtx42 should be doable. In fact, I think anything quicker than high 8's, regardless of the platform, would take you into PITA territory

[adamRSLC]

What about Johns orange mustang , 6cyl AU motor which runs into the 8's and is driven far more often than it should be . Yanks get the mustang thing and aussie 6cyl to surprise instead of 2J, then throw a spare taxi donk in the trailer .

Or an AU done up as a yellow cab with a tunnel vision 3.6

[fly510]

If your going to that it would have to be an EA in Melbourne yellow cab colours.

100k to build something reliable?

[ALLMTR]

I reckon you could build a reliable 8 second car for around $30-35k (something like prasacs brothers corona)

[Guido]

I reckon it would be seriously awesome to do it in a reliable, relatively unstressed mid to high 9 second car. Fuck trying to be competitive in any of the classes, unless you have serious money and car building talent that's a pipe dream.

Seems we get drag racing a lot better than other countries...

A 9 second car will win you hot rod, gasser, daily driver and have you competitive in street race, modified NA and pro street NA
