Anybody remember that old '11 thread i started? (And gave up on!)
I was reminded of this old thread when I was reading the latest Cart Craft that came in. On the cover it reads "Low-Buck Build!" without a build or low buck story. Nothing new with the rags? I guess. That is also what started me putting up stickies when I was a MOD here in the racers section for the time zones for you to post in when you got your car to run in that time zone for others to get an idea on what it takes to run that time zone.
Basically, MoPar guys helping MoPar guys out.
Also inside the rag, they show a small gaggle of racers in the NNMCA 275 radial, running a slow 8.67 @ 161. A 2008 Challenger took top honors at 7.08 @ 207. BUGET MY ARSE!
Then there is the Car Craft Demon they chopped up and installed a modern twin turbo HEMI that runs 6.39 @ 110 in the 1/8th. BUGET MY ARSE!
The biggest "BUDGET" car in there was a clone '69 GOT with a LS3turbo running 10's. BUDGET?!?!
ANYWAYS, back to my old idea. Which was to start a thread showing our members how they can possible run there car quickly and maybe even fast without spending a bunch of money and at the same time, have a friendly competition while we are at it. But that's where the problem started. Not to mention people didn't actually read the threads beginnings and started to ask questions that were spelled out to start with.
Let me give you the basic idea.
This would be a Competition for fun with no prize money, just bragging rights. This is your chance to be a show off and say I told ya so!
It would be done on the "Honor system." And that should be easy, right? Just remember your actually helping your MoPar family out when you DON'T LIE!
It should be done as "CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE!" THE CHEAPER THE BETTER. SHOW OFF YOUR SCROOGE!!!!! Show the world what a cheap S.O.B. you are! Though I do understand the new for new parts. Sometimes, they carry the price. BUT, if you can get used headers, great. If not, new ones are not a shame item or expenditure. Building your own exhaust is "Awesome hero work" while dropping $700 on a tti exhaust is "Hall of Shame" in this fun.
Race your local track and report back!
