Add a tranny cooler and a fuel system ($300, cause you bought a used holley blue, reguator, a used b/m cooler and a holley blue rebuild kit). Add it up - approximately $30,000. FOR WHAT? to go 12.50's if your lucky, you will be hard pressed to run the minimum, oh wait you cant even race class, cause you dont own the proper carb and heads. while i am at it i forgot to buy headers, you probably could get a set from the swap meet...in about 15 more years.

This is not the first post where someone was bitching about the price of these new cars. add it up, seriously add it up. the new cars are the cheapest way to go fast, not only fast et, but fast compared to the indexes. You complainers are forgetting the (60's)copo's, the nickey's, the yenkos, shelby's (fill in your favorite here...) , by the time the high end cars of the 60's hit the track they were way more expensive than the high performance version of the same car being offered from the show room floor, and priced more than double than the regular economy model of the same breed.....kinda like whats happening today.

i am 40 years old, i wasn't even alive in the 60's. Man, the complainers do nothing but piss me off. It is simple, don't try to putt AAA on your windshield, try to run the minimum, HAVE FUN, and stop bitching...the only thing i am seeing from your bitching (and i mean all the whiners) is that you are not racing in the class you wish you were.

I got an idea....lets have a poll! everyone that is all whiny and bitching stand up.....and leave AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

ok, i am better now.

Next
