10s with $2000... EASY
What do you have done now?
Wont look as good doing it though....If i dumped the money into a GTP that i did with my G8.......
11s EASILY
Car is stock sans downpipe and exhaust (although it's running 21 degrees of timing). All the swiss cheese stuff was sold off when demodded.
Has an awesome rod knock mod right now. Dull and quiet, but it's there...180K though, so it's to be expected for what this engines been through.
I would like to drop an L26 block in there if I can find one cheap enough.
This is a good challenge but I would like to see a legitimate attempt to match what was originally said.
Stock GTP/GS + $500 in modifications = 12's
no borrowed/donated parts - Technically they are free and do not subtract from the $500 but they shouldn't be. I mean, if someone "donated" a turbo kit or a IC and it was installed would that be the same? I think tires would be necessary for this challenge. However even a used set of slicks would be $100 at a minimum. That's a nice slice from the $500 right there, and should be included.
Gaskets and fluids included - It is money spent, every little thing adds up in this instance.
Modifying things yourself and doing your own labor would be the biggest cost savings. This is HUGE for such a low budget build. Not sure what is involved with modifying the stock rockers to 1.9 but could save money.
Not sure what I personally would do to achieve this. If I could do ALL my own work I would buy some slicks, rockers, headers, port everything, run no exhaust and some 110. DEALS will have to be found, and the car will need huge weight reduction.
I think this would be very hard to-do and legitimately spend under $500
Ever see that guy on regalgs.org or whatever? Ran like 12s with it gutted ported front mani. Zzp PCM and a 100 shot. I think he eventually did a 150 shot or something nuts oh and slicks!
I was just going to suggest that! Here's the thread
