man that cage is just pure sexy

 

You are clear for takeoff.


Nice!

 

How would you compair this car to your drag/street car?

 

Love the cage

 

Um, lighter?!

The street car was a pig. With the same power a 144mph trap would turn into about a 157mph trap and that is the difference between 9.8 and 9.0. We just refused to ruin a good car with a welded in cage so we bought this chassis.

There will be a number of changes with the car.

 

excellent build, i completely agree with no cages in "street" cars. just doesn't look right...

 

in on the awesomeness

 

That's besides what it does to the value of the car.

 

This is an awesome thread. I'm lovin the progress so far. Keep us updated on your progress. I'd love to see the finished product. Nice work!

 

WOW looks like a huge mission and lots of fun in the end!!

 

Yes, its definitely a project to take your time on. It keeps your interest that way.

 

Well atleast your right it is the perfefct drag car lol

 

cage looks amazing... do i dare even ask what it would run for one of us normal people?

 

To take a car from bare to fully built drag car I am just guessing in the area of $70-80k with someone doing the work for you.

fully built motor - $6k to $10k
Turbo Kit - $4-5k
Trans and T-Case - $4-6k
Clutch - $1500-$2500

I mean that is about $16k right there and thats not even finishing the motor.... such as motor mounts, intank manifold, etc. etc.

Its very very expensive to do a build like they are doing. But it will be DOWN RIGHT NASTY when they are done.

I maybe a bit off but it would be pretty close.
