Want to build a sub 10 sec drag car for $70k give or take $5k for any other expenses.
Powerplant:
LS based, looking at a turbo charged LS3 making 1000+hp and have a 150 shot. Preferably done by Steve Morris.
Open to whatever, just don't start a fucking ls vs coyote flame war.
Still debating on which chassis to choose.
Choices:
-C5 Z06
-Foxbody
and that's all I got.
Edit: meant to put $70k in the title
Lol you can do it for like 5000 dollars easy
for some reason i read this as "subie 10 second 1/4 mile for 60k" like you were gonna build a wrx that runs 10 second quarter miles
I thought it was just me, thanks boiyo
twin truck turbos on a junkyard iron block 5.3 in a foxbody mustang, maybe see if you can buy a cheap tubbed roller to throw a big radial onto.
Should come up to under $10k.
Viable
>falling for the LShit meme
lol, listen carefully OP:
fd rx7 - $500
high compression 13b from an N/A FC - $500
built powerglide - $1.5k
built ford 9 inch rear - $1.5k
wet nitrous kit - $1k
fuel and spark stuff - $2k
add $2k more for whatever else you need
there are no 5.3 blocks running the quarter in 6 seconds as far as I am aware
If you want a v8, get a 4 valve 4.6
there are 8 second STIs????
wtf my image get ur shit together hiromoot
Dyno sheet and slip?
You're delusional if you think you can get a 10 second car for $10k using a rotary.
>powerglide
>13b
wewww.
this truck runs high nines and cost ~$20k
youtu.be
well I don't have a dyno sheet and a slip because thats not my car, but just google 10 second 13b
the engines themselves are pretty strong, you won't need to spend money on forged conrods, cranks, pistons or bearings, seals and so on
just make sure to keep seals healthy
lol yes, all you need is fuel, spark and forced induction, there is no need to spend tons of money or forged internals because a rotor housing and the rotor itself are nukeproof
>powerglide
>not used on 13b's
lurk more youtube.com
here, have a 1/4 video of the same car
...
Just buy a hellcat?
also, I am don't disencouraging to get a fully built LS and dropping it in a corvette, but keep in mind that there are cheaper options
also, this
a hellcat with nitrous and slicks will run 10's
>a hellcat with nitrous and slicks will run 10's
...For $80k. Or you could build your own car for a tenth the price. Which is the whole point of drag racing.
Considered it, but with the dealer bubble soon to strike the hellkitties once the demon comes into dealers, a hellcat interested me more. It is a good option though, because it's a drag car that doesn't need a trailer.
Lexus SC300 W/2JZ VVTi swap and get a Precision 6266, upgrade the fuel system and give it a tune
Could probably be done for under $30k
Are you looking strictly at rwd setups or is awd a possibility? I feel like finding a lightweight jap awd coupe and putting a 600hp LSx in it would put you where you wanna be
Just for shits, how about a 2.5 RS Subaru for instance?
Have you looked inside a subaru gearbox or looked at the diffs and cv axles? They grenade themselves on less than 300ft/lbs from a tiny banger, What's going to happen behind a forced induction 6l V8? Turning a Subaru into a drag car is a waste.
Preferably RWD due to the reduced complexity. I liked the vette due to the fact you can get a transaxle and driveshaft to be good to go.
Buy a bike
Then Kys for being a dragfags who cant even figure out what they want
hellcats are depreciating like crazy, you can get one for like 50k
I have not done those things, but I'm fairly certain parts may be purchased to reinforce the weak spots (probably all of it)
I hear you. Starting off with a Vette really puts your starting cost higher than it needs to be though... does it have to be streetable-ish?
Why would you ever start with a rotary for a drag car?
Maybe he hates oil
Something I don't have to put on a trailer if I have to drive more than 5 miles. The vettes are higher, but the tech is there for streetability. It's needs to have A/C, I live in FL and the heat is brutal year round.
>I don't know what I am talking about
ok summerfag
he wants to be a special snowflake
>most common import engine for drag racing
>special
sure is summer in here
Better off starting with a base c6 than butchering a c5z.
just buy a 2.3 mustang and slap a big turbo on it

>amerifat from pol
you realize that's not a quarter mile right?
>reverts to calling them their Boogeyman board because they lost an argument
>O B S E S S E D with Americans
DAY OF THE RAKE WHEN
Motorcycle.
heres your quarter mile, cunt

I am not an amerifat and I don't browse /pol/
Isn't that the 4G63?
>most common import engine for drag racing
where
actual amerifat from pol detected
no, now that I think about it it might be some form of honda engine, 4Gs were very common 10 years ago tho
my point still stands tho, outside of america, the 13b is the most common import drag engine
inb4 puerto rico
10 year old gsxr1000 for $3,200 should do it
>LS based
>Precision 6266
Lmao, junk meme turbos
idiots will break anything
>has had ls shit break on him
>is still delusional enough to think the ls series is anything other than compete trash
This is what a famboy looks like
