Get in where you fit in and dont bitch because someone can fit a little more $$$ in their operation. I guess you guys are looking for an OBAMA handout to go fast. Congrats on anyone who has the money to do this sport the way they please.

And how long and how much work went into getting the old combos to go 1.25 under.
Now you plunk your money down and in most cases (not all) send the car to some shop to get all the "enhancements" fitted in,and to beat all get a 150HP + advantage to start.And in the case of the Mustangs run the car at less than WOT and run amok over all the old combos.
I've been witness to a Drag Pak build over the past year and it in no way does it resemble what anyone in their right mind would consider being a stocker.
Maybe that's why people have a problem with these new combinations?

Alright some lively dialogue again

I wondered where you guys have been all winter - hibernation no doubt

BTW - our car has never been slow - 10.29 in B/SA at Pomona

Oh I know it is not as fast as you guys that are going to get HP like us for going 1.20 under - LOL

Let the real cars show up for a change instead of holding back to protect HP

And.. I have well over $50k in it - just not all at once

OK let the bashing begin a new

I got to tell you I find this website very entertaining


:-) peace

To whom it may concern: My ego is doing just fine, just in case you were concerned.

I think the home made old cars cost more than we want to admit, especially for the fast ones. The most glaring omission is labor. The math gets fuzzy fast but even allowing ten bucks an hour adds up fast at the bottom line. I simply do not want to know how much my C/SA car has cost.

What are the comparative maintenance costs between the new cars and the old ones?
