Yes, so I speak from experience. Mine was modded to shit and I still couldn't get out of it what I wanted. Great fun car, but nothing i'd throw a ton of money at - it's a money pit and much easier to make a similar car faster and more reliably. I feel that way at least...Still love the handling of them!!

 

I realize that, and I'm not bashing the car. I guess I just picture something different when I imagine full out race car that gets trailered to the track (IIRC)... Although 11's are fast, in my mind there's a huge difference between 11.00 and 10.99. It's an imaginary border that I have in my mind that separates between mild to wild. I don't know that I'd build an AWD import to run on a short track like that though. It seems like you'd be putting a lot of stress on your drivetrain launching only to go 1/8th mile. That could get expensive quick! Still though, much respect... I'm sure it's kicking ass on the track.

 

The only thing I saw keeping this car from being a street car was DOT tires, and an exhuast. No biggie. Was still full interior and such when I saw it, not a full out drag car yet.

 

Totally agree, i would never sink money into an import to make it an 1/8th mile drag car. Big waste money IMO

 

Agreed.

Hence my statement.

 

So, if someone wants to build a fast car, and dragrace it, you suggest that they don't even bother going to an 1/8th mile track, despite it being 110 miles closer than a 1/4mi track?

 

That's not what I said at all. You're taking what I said out of context now.

I'm just saying I wouldn't build an expensive NEW AWD car for a local 1/8th mile track. Can you honestly tell me you don't think it would get too expensive for the average persons weekend racer budget?

 

the 1/8th is more for QUICK cars, than FAST cars...

 

Depends on the size of the person's budget I guess. For the average person, I'd say it would be too expensive.
