power to weight ratio and gearing
damn skippypower to weight ratio and gearing
20B Miata
Plus i'm willing to bet a 750hp car won't get around Road Atlanta much, if any, faster than a 400-500hp version with the exact same suspension and gearing setup. Highway runs, if that's what you live for...then yes it will effect the outcome..but then you have to look at the reliability side of a vehicle and the stress it puts on the car with that much power.
Oh fuck yes. :idb: :idb:

FC - Death by rotary forever
CRX daily... Gas prices suck, i love my HF

there we go!
i dislike auto x-ing. its only for people who are afraid of paying for their shitty driving... so they hit cones instead of falling off mountains
Cone Dodging is acceptable when you change the name to Time Attack and make it all scary and aggressive sounding
lol exactly! scary sounding is a must! its like calling a STi a grocery getter lol...
but even though it is it sounds much scarier to say, a 600 HP big fuckin turbo fire breathing monster!
I autocross, and dont have a problem going to the mountains or a track event, I do anything I can on track, track time ftw. Mountains are fun and all, but nothing beats real wheel to wheel racing, or even track days.
I dont think autocrossers are shitty drivers either..
prolly build my bike
You only live once, maybe twice if you use the e-brake!
Volvo 122 amazon with built 2.5 liter DOHC motor.
My car is factory....
Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
hahaha, an Amazon...mentioned it as being one of the cars i want on my online magazine. http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...4&postcount=18
tis a bit offtopic, but one of the guys from turbobricks managed to get his car on getaway in stockholm. Built 2.3l SOHC turbo making 500+ hp. Runs the 1/4 mile on regular street tires in the low 11s. Very quick car.
I still want to do the DOHC turbo, but I hear its a bit tough getting that head beneath the bonnet of the 122. OH well, a man can dream right?

Pretty sure that wasn't built for $10k
I assume you've seen the orange Opel Manta Hilmersson racing built? It's supercharged and turbo'd...Volvo B230. http://www.hilmersson-racing.com/start.asp?show=j

id prolly build a go kart lol
It just depends on the car. If it already had alot of power but not so high on the looks i would throw it towards show and vise versa w/ the show and no power.
Porsche 944 or a Nissan 240SX Coupe with an LS1 swap.

convert ef to a jdm ef and swap a type r in it
1. It gets really old when people keep calling southside a thief, b/c honestly, they have no phucking idea! lol
BUILD A 240...YOU CAN GET A BODY FOR AROUND $500 AND THEN GET A 2JZ SWAP AT MAINSTREAM - 10K OUT THE DOOR (QUOTE) THAT WILL PUT YOU AT 330WHP IN A LIGHT ASS CAR FOR ABOUT 10,500.
go with starting the engine
2002 Subaru Impreza WRX ---RED---
nice
cf jdm front end, roof cap, trunk... and throw a kseries in my teg
.....
VIP first-gen Infiniti Q45...and a manual transmission swap if possible.
i would use the 10k to put a down payment on a is350.
That's a buy, not a build!
Get a Busa and turbo'it and beat every car that trys you....
im not a big ford fan, but the best bang for the buck would be a fox body with a built engine. you can get a body for around $2500, and have the rest to spend on engine/tranny/suspension.
If I had $10k to spend on any car I would get 97+ prelude (I saw one with 140k miles and no engine/tranny for $3200 on ebay a few weeks ago) and buy a F22C ($4000 on ebay), S2000 rear end, and do a RWD conversion on a prelude.
is that even possible...?
yes but it would be a ridiculous amount of work and labor alone would exceed $10,000 if you didn't do it all yourself. I'd get a stolen recovery NSX before thinking about attempting that...
Wow...an RWD Prelude. That's a Honda I'd TOTALLY rock.
build my credit. what now!That's a buy, not a build!
nah but seriously i would probly have to put together a k20 integra.
Doored and suicided x-cab 90 or 91 hardbody.
buy a crx sir with the glass top and build the **** out of the motor.
My thoughts exactly.
mercedes C-class kompressor. 94 or 95 C230 Compressor. Yank the turbo, custom manifold, big turbo, nice bottom end parts and some decent suspension mods. Would be a nice sleeper, totally comfortable and totally fun.
