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

[ieatdrt 10+ year member]

LMFAO! You can build a 10sec car for 20k or less if you're good. Come to think of it give me the 200k and I'll build you one for 20k and pocket the rest. You need traction not HP. Well you need HP but it does no good when your spinning the tires. You can break into 10's with 300hp in a properly prepped 3000lb car.

ieatdrt is a moron best bet is if you want something comfortable that you can go everywhere in, go with a supra, it takes about 10-20g to drop it into mid to high 10's depending on if you want to strip everything, full factory interior you can run 10s with about 15g.

Just drop $180K on a R34 Z-Tune 10sec stock

ROFL. Sad isn't it. 10.9's in 300rearwhls/3000....Yes

As a matter of fact a guy grabbed a .513 light and ran 11.31 in a 3110lb camaro with 257 hp. Proper prep, the right conditions, and some knowledge, and yes you can break into the 10's with 300hp and 3000lbs. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Just in case you can't read either. That's Rear Wheel Hp not Bhp. Bhp would be a much higher number, if you still don't think it can be done then you need to learn about suspension and gearing a little more. Slapping 500hp in a stock chassis won't get you 10's it'll get you killed.

dude, I've been building cars and drag racing since you were probably in diapers. There is no way you can get a 3100 lb car, not matter what light he's cutting, to run 11.31. With drivetrain loss of 30%, that motor is making 334HP. If thatw as true, anyone could pick up a GM crate 350, the 330HP motor and run 10's....it is not going to happen.

Suspension is setup and adjusted for the car. As long as you have the proper launch, 60' times, is all you need. gearing is solely dependant on the RPM range of the motor and it's effect on RPM when crossing at the big end, being in the HP range desired.I know of cars running 1.48 60' and running 10.11's at 134 on motor alone. And it's not a 300 HP SBC, it's a blown 502....

But if you think you can do it, use your knowledge, setup a rearend, buy this and go run some 10's.............. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

it will take up to 425 rear wheel horsepower to get, 3100 into the 11.31 range, FYI

Well I've only been doing it for about 12yrs, but that has been done. That's an actual time. I'm not going to argue this point with you. I've seen it and funny thing is it was a GM crate motor, not straight out of the box, but a crate motor non the less. I'm also talking 10.99 not 10.1, but regardless I'm not going into a pissing contest on a forum.

 

[Polecat 5,000+ posts]

Is that crate motor a 502 or 572 by chance? I don't argue the time for a SBC...trust, I know it's possible...just not with the HP you mention rearwheel....

 

[bossman032 10+ year member]

R32's are nice if you like hatchbacks

they are great cars. but the price is kinda high. I think only 5000 were made. they are V6 and they handle very good they outhandle the sti and etc..powerwise its lower then sti. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

alright if were talking about the mitsu evo 8 here ive seen some pretty impressive things done with them. what you will want to do is drop that 1.8L thats in it and go find yourself a 200-04 eclipse 2.4l engine. they are very simular. then you take parts such as the head and such from the evo engine and with a little modding they will fit on the 2.4l eclipse engine. then drop that in your car and begin modding that out. with bigger turbo blow off exhaust the whole shabang. you ould check http://www.eclipseforums.org. search around there there are some people who have don the engine mod to their eclipse or they could point you in the direction of an evo forum as i cant remember where i saw this mod done.

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

o yea and the guy on the evo forum who did the engine swap after a few mods i beleive he was pushing about 560hp nitrous free

I cannot believe that 257rwhp in a 3110lb car ran 11.3, unless it produces about 500lbs of torque.

Maybe if it was fully gutted, full suspension, and the best gearing suitable.... I mean I've seen 500hp/2600lbs go 9's... so I know low hp/low et is possible.

I havent been doing this for long...but unless your friend had an amazing r/t and he has full setup suspension... I just can't allow myself to believe.

 

[bossman032 10+ year member]

I rather have a civic 300hp and get 35mph then a V8 that does 500hp at 3000rpm and drinks gas like a Semi Truck..

Unless your rich or your dad owns a gas station then I would go for the 500hp car..
