How much money to build a high 10 sec Honda (using V-tec engine)?

[William Bowers]

Almost a moot point....Fast Honda? never seen one except a few motorcycles. I hear those quick imports are all the rage on the west coast.Probably isn't one within 100 miles of hear that will break into the 13's.But I have a friend who digs that crap and he says 10,000 probably wouldn't touch it cuz even if you make all that power it takes mucho dollars to put it on the ground.The bone yards are littered with broken half shafts,those cars are a waste of time and money, even a quick one bores me to sleep.Only bikes should have 4cyls. My bike puts out more hp than my mustang and it also wieghs only about 400 lbs. But she will go 5.80's on motor(1/8) and 5.50's on the button. Don't do much 1/4 mile but I have gone 9.10's on motor and 8.70's on the button. It is quite a ride with no wheelie bars!
Almost 270 hp when she is on the squeeze.(last dyno)

as for the 10 second mustang lets see:

beat up old 4 cyl car:300-800 dollars
big block/c6 out of early 70's ford 600-1000
new intake, cam ,carb, 800-1000
N.O.S. fogger 500-800
a little suspension work
removing all uneeded wieght
slicks
stall converter
race shifter
roll cage

I lost count and this isn't exact science but I bet you could put one in the 10's for just a tick under 6 grand if you pinched your pennies. And for 10 grand you could build one hell of a nice drag car
