Sub 10 sec 1/4 mile for $60k

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.
