Building 10 sec. car..What does it take?

If I had 200k to get a 10 second car I'd probably just wait about 2-4 months and buy a 06' Z06 with the stock 0-6 in 3.8 and drop another 30g's into it and have a 10 second car. When you do crash and kill yourself though man lemme know so I can snag up that M3 for cheap.

 
Just something to think about. AWD cars arent made for drag racing easy street is the only place to have really done that and quite honestly you cant do it. Go by a NSX supercharge it and get new brakes and suspension and call it a day. Or hold out for the 06 Easy Street Subaru Sti, 425 hp. Fast? Chief

 
age=20

Money=$200,000

I don't know any 20 year old who has that kind of money. But it's not my place to be jealous.

I would check out a Nissan 350Z put in another 60,000 and your set...then after all that spend another 10,000 on the system! You'll still have money left over in the end! Also those 350Z's are so beautiful.......

Didn't you just contradict yourself in saying AWD cars aren't made for drag strips but then suggest a STi?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Also where can one find specs on this 06' Easy Street STi?? Is that a factory thing or special maker?

 
let me rephrase the question....since some of you get side tracked easily. On an estimate... how much money does one expect to spend to run 10s? n for those that run 10s..how much do you think they've spent overall to get it how it is? The labor going into making that machine run that fast is going to be way up there obviously. I'm looking to go without the nos. I'm not saying that this can be done overnight..it'll probably take years to build up an engine to push that car to its potential.

But, if anyone has any insight on the costs..let me know..plz.

Fast N Furious didnt get me into racing... going to the races at the tracks last year did. I havent even seen that movie. I've seen cars running 11s at the tracks, n i can see the costs into building that car from the way they run. I'm asking a serious question here, no bs or anything.

 
sigh* with 200grand you can make any car a 10second car....even a ****in geo metro... my advice to you is...pick a car you want to make it run a 10second quarter buy it take it to you "quote on quote" master mechanic n be like ok build away... i mean shit you can make a geo metro with 200gs i mean fuk who knows how much itd cost you but ya ha maybe would be a totally diffeent car but itd still be a geo metro in the end....my opinion easiest way is going with a american car alot cheaper to build and more reliable when it comes to playin with big amounts of horsepower. Ehhh but ya i wouldnt mind seeing a 10second g35 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif........ o ya since you said it takes years for a person to get a 10second car lolz ya it does but not if they have 200grand to dump into it....i saw a 69 camaro street legal with a 502 bored over to a 520?? or somethin i cant remember and a fully built drive terrain and the guy got his car back running 10s.....fact is it sure as hell isnt gonna take you years and id say if you pickup somethin like a 06 z06 or a 03-05 cobra with 20grand you could have your 10second car.......but ya once you do this can i be in you will cuz if you do die ive always wanted a m3 itd be a total upgrade from still paying off my 4dr accord
