Cheap Stocker...

I bought a mint '87 Dodge Daytona Shelby Z for $5K. Added the mopar performance cat-back exhaust and the mopar performance computer. That was about $375 for both items at the time. On BFG Radial T/A's it ran .400 under spinning all thru 1st. I then bought a pair of 8x26 M/T's that picked up another .500. With an open exhaust I sat the BF/S record at 14.13 and the valve cover had never been off the car. Then I got serious, rebuilt and blueprinted the engine, more boost, more fuel, modified impeller, more boost, aluminum flywheel, better clutch, etc., and set the AF/S record at 13.26. Still obtaining 25-30 MPG on the way home from that meet, still had a/c working. Ran as quick as -1.70. Sold the car for $5K.
