How would you build a low 10’s street car
Clearly I am ten pages late, but having read a lot of it and skipped some I did catch Copes last post. I could not agree more. I too have a purpose built car for track. Even dash is fiberglass. I can kind of drive it on street but it is miserable. I have to wear ear plugs while I drive it. Spooled rear end suks. I am consistently high tens and make no mistake there is thousands of dollars between high tens and low tens. I cannot tell you how many 10 sec cars in this country get 12 and 13 sec time slips every weekend. Like Cope simply getting in and out of it is a yoga class, and he has a fancy car with a hook for his steering wheel. I just toss mine on the dash! This is a fun thread and to several posters point it is certainly old technology and new. Like many my car is a blend of old and new, EFI mega squirt fuel management because I suck at carb tuning. Sitting atop a stroked 440. Totally void of any creature comforts. But it is in fact plated and insured so I can drive it to the occasional cruise event. Provided it is within four gallons of range!
