Drag racing times (long)

[JShadzi at aol.com]

Luke, your "pocketbook" engineer comment nails how I feel often, heck, most of us are dealing with very limited budgets, I'm no different, I kinda take pride in the fact that I can do a lot with a little $$, I think we all do.

I love hearing and reading about these faster cars, heck, what do you think inspires me? Plus, we all need goals to shoot for, knowing that there is a $100k 11 sec S4 makes me want to build a $15k  11 sec Audi 80 even more badly =)

>to putting a 10v in a typ89... not that im discrediting that... im so damn proud of my 90tq...

>after all, whos heard of a faster audi 80? especially with a 10vt
>and its the second highest hp rating ive seen for a 10v
>502+nos is the most ive heard of... but you seem barely started...
>you havent even put a cam in yet... let alone using custom race pistons and connecting rods
