Maybe we should impose a price limit (of $10,000?) and have conditions, ie. greatest 'bang for the buck'?

Nothing pretty, but probably around 400hp.

sorry but the miata is actually pretty expensive for what it is, not as bad as a CRX, but the premium school girls and spec racers put on it really hurts your pocket (helps resale i suppose though!)



i remember some guy built a 2.4ltr 300whp Dodge Colt for something under 2 grand or so,

similar at this years "Grassroots Motorsports $2006" challenge i think their were a few cars nearing 10 second quarter miles,

ingenuity seems to be key what ever the case



i would warn not to open the "do it yourself, cheaply" can of worms around muscle heads, the Foxbody and old camaro guys are sometimes a bit retarded good at making power, they might not handle like a dream, but god can they make power (and reliably enouph so)

I know this is a Trans-Am picture, not a Firebird, but it looks so cool I couldn't help it.

Or maybe.
