If you want to have a car run at least 11.00's and live for any certain amount of time then you will need a lot more then $10,000, especially if you are going to have to pay someone for the labor work.

Don't get me wrong, the initial costs and to someone that havn't built a car that fast, will have a hard time seeing that statement true, but trust me it will be some where around $20,000.

For $10,000 I could build a realiable low 12 second car (in N/A trim) and mid 11 sec car at best on spray.

You can build a 10 second car for under $10,000 BUT how long will it last??????

I just finished one that went 10.86 @124.XX that is a ticking time bomb! (on spray)
