How would you build a low 10’s street car
But ok, say you're just a masochist, and don't mind swapping to dead shocks, the front and rear tires to skinnies and slicks, swap the third member to a 4.xx, and heat up a bottle for a 200 shot of spray. Is that a possible way to make it into the 10's?
I'll bite on this.
My car (71 Dart) is a full on "Race car" with a licence plate and insurance. It is as gutted as it can get. Zero creature comforts. That was not even a thought when i built her.
Full aluminum interior, including kirky race buckets. (Two of em now..)
29 10.5 15 slicks, skinnys, spool with 4.88 gear. No overdrive. No sound deadening or heat shield. No AC. 12 point cage.
It is not a fun car to drive. In fact its terrible to drive.
But i do drive it. It is the most awsome, ridiculous car most folks have even seen on the street.
When i pull up to a light people are always yelling at me. I can only tell if they like it or hate it by the thumbs up or the one finger salute cuz i cant hear **** in the car...
It needs fuel every time i fire it up.
It cant really go on the freeway beacuse its un bearable to listen to the engine scream while getting passed by semi trucks and turning 4,000 RPM....
its not technically even legal on the street but..... ya know, just be cool about it....right??
But man it is fun to roll up somewhere, be it breakfast on sunday with my lady or just driving to the store..
Pull up, fenders shaking, enging sticking out the hood shaking, cam thumping..
Reach up, Turn off ignition, turn off the stupid loud fuel pump, remove steering wheel and hang it from the hook on the cage, un latch the 5 point harness, move the ahoulder belts out of the way and behind the high back kirky so that when you get back in they dont stab you in the spine.... :) , open door, climb over and out of the cage, close door ( hopefully not on seat belt) walk to rear of car and shut down battery/eletrics and walk away.. .
Man.... it is good......
And my car cant even run tens yet but the car is built for that speed.
