@ TearItUp and K)!!y

Seriously, it's more torque than hp you need to build up

Well, you could do that with gears.. However you may only be able to go about 65.. Hehehe.. Although I am estimating, I think you'd need to get your car into the 11's to accelerate that quickly. On a car like this, you'd be approaching about 450-500hp to get into that range. I suspect over 375hp you are looking at drivetrain modifications in addition to engine modifications. Again, someone else mentioned this.. TORQUE IS YOUR FRIEND... You could have a 100hp engine that makes 500lbft of torque.. Its how you get that torque to the ground and translate it into rotational, then forward motion.
