Now Lurch, I don't know how to ask this without comin off as a smartass....and I promise, I'm not....BUT......and bear with me......

Do you know WHAT 500-600 HP even feels like, or are these numbers you're just reaching outta the sky for? A lot of people have never driven or been in a car with that much power. All too often we get newbies or kids (not saying you're either....I don't really know) and they just spit out numbers they've read about in magazines or on forums. 500-600 HP will get you deep into the tens and possibly faster in a light A body.

I am asking simply because If you don't want something "that fast or quick" it's gonna save you a lot of cash. Help us out here.

Well, I'm not going to be running 4:56 rear gears and dumping the clutch at 5 grand followed by jamming through the gears. I do really think the car will run 10's, but I think you are overestimating my ability to shift quickly through the 1/4 mile. I'm losing a lot with 3:55 gears, but I want to be able to drive it on the street without my ears bleeding. Money is not really an issue, but I would like to build it right once and not go through a series of broken drivetrain parts upgrading along the way. I appreciate your input.
