What is a good track car?

Looking to build a 9 second car. Is a Mitsubishi Eclipse a good platform to start with I imagine with a cold air intake, hi performance muffler and turbo the 3.8 would float.

Based on the asshats I see on the road, I'd say a Civic //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

they had some sorta twin turbo Nissan on the Nissan showroom that looked like a good start //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

HAHAHA the Bugatti veyron only does 10 seconds. I don't think you know what you are asking for a car to do 9 seconds and I doubt it will be easy, (if possible with an eclipse.) mine does 14.1. Of course upgrades will help but **** 9 seconds is FAST.

I think I'm chalkin this up to trolling. but hey i'm waiting for mccdonalds to start serving lunch so i'll play

a Supra twin turbo is another good start up

GT-R !!!! ...i recant. Even the Nissan engineers have yet to find the end of the GT-R's potential. they refuse to publish a maximum horsepower for the engine. If I was to try to build a 9 second car it would be a GT-R

Sorry I guess I have been watching too many fast and the furious movies. Basically I want something I can bring to the track and compete with most other cars there without being embarassed.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for yours? Do you like it so far?

What do you think a realistic number with turbo, chip, exhaust and cold air would be?

fox body

more than you can afford pal.

If you're into muscle then possibly a fox body mustang? 80's mustangs were known for being very lightweight and since you are thinking turbo it then you could get into the 9's with it. Course this is only if you know what you are doing. And guessing from the op's original question it really doesnt sound like it at all. It takes more than just performance engine parts to get going that fast.

Edit: Streetassasin beat me to the fox body idea..
