Money vs Horsepower

I wanted to add..........5,000.00 to go from 14 to 13 is silly.
I can't argue that.
To go from 12.0 to 11.0 is going to cost you more.
11.0 to 10.0 .......now we're talking real dollars.
To build a 10 second car for under 10 k requires a magic wand........period.
To build a safe , reliable 10 second car starts around double that , and that is starting with a roller.
If you can show me the car , the time slips and the receipts that prove I am wrong , I'll freely admit it.
I do everything but the machining and If it was that cheap , I would have been done two years ago.
