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.

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!

Bill, as my good buddy Dave who retired to Mesa says "You can get that back around there, it is just that when you move it all the remaining structural rust will fall off of it."

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.
