What would you build?

Bob Shaw · 02-01-2016, 09:05 PM

If you had no race car and a $6000 budget to build one, what would you build?
(A) A car like you had in high school.
(B) A car that should run in the 12's.
(C) A 1969 Camaro with a 396.
(D) A car with a soft horsepower rating that should qualify anywhere.
(E) A car that fits a class that nobody runs.
(F) A car that has 6 other cars in the class in your division.
(G) None of the above.
(H) A car that has a soft index.

Because $6000 won't build much of a race car here in Canada. If it was $60000, "C" a 1969 Camaro w/ 396.

Bill Howell · 02-01-2016, 09:38 PM

I would like to have option C. A 396 69 Camaro for $6,000.

G) None of the above because with a $6,000 budget and no car, you won't be able to build any of the above!

Its a trick question, but Billy Nees would do something like this: C followed by H

(A) A car like you had in high school.

(B) A car that should run in the 12's.

(C) A 1969 Camaro with a 396. Buy it for the six flip it for a quick 12K.

(D) A car with a soft horsepower rating that should qualify anywhere.

(E) A car that fits a class that nobody runs.

(F) A car that has 6 other cars in the class in your division.

(G) None of the above.

(H) A car that has a soft index.

Do this with the 12K, with likely 5 + leftover for future. But only for Billy

I would build "D", but would try to only spend 5000.00, so I could spend 1000.00 on "HAPPY" pills, and send them to 1320racer. J.R.

A car that can win 6 rds in a row because qualifying don't pay nothing. Typically most 4 cyl -6 cyl- and turbos and remaining 13 sec cars are out by third rd. I will not build anything that can't run at least 11's ever again.

(G) A Rat Rod
Why? Because $6,000 wouldn't touch what I would want to build.
