I agree with 99% of what you guys said! The only thing I have a problem with is the fact that you think its not expensive to build a 9s or 10s street Mustang?! I really beleive it wouldnt be that much less expensive. Of course there is lots of different ways to build a car! Some are more expensive then the others! Like building an naturaly aspirated drag car! My friend has a low 10s N/A Mustang! He is a professionnal engine builder (TK Motion) and hold 14 NHRA records! (not with the stang)! And he easily got over 75 000$ (thats canadian monopoly money ) in the car! When you build a 9 or 10s car you cant just build an engine! You also gonna have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars into suspension, transmission, etc...

The 10s four doors civic you see above. His a street car. Started his life as a grocery car with a 1.5L engine! His setup cost him around 15 000$ (thats canadian money too). That include the engine swap and the turbo kit. From 18s to 10.6s .... It deserve respect I think!

I would like to see a time slip of his 9s too... But I trust him since his buddy also used to race a mid 10s street civic for years. I dont see his point of posting bullshit on a board full of people who actualy saw the car race that day !

Take Care!
