anyone want to buy a 9 sec car for 35k? yes or no?

forget the supra, 300zx, 3000gt or any other car. if u want a fast 9 sec car for 35 grand here it is . if u have the money would u buy it?

man i wish i had 35g's under my pillow but again it won't as fun to build your own fast car, if not a 9 sec car.

Yeah, I think I's rather build my own. I'd feel a little ashamed pushing someone else's ride that fast, what with all the bragging that must accompany such a feat. Still, that's no slouch of a looker either. Car's dope, but I think I'd pass.

there no exact amount depending on car and approach, but it takes quite a bit of money to get a car to do 9 secs. 11's or 12's wouldn't be as difficult and costly.

I wouldn't, but thats just my opinion. I don't really care for drag only cars. I like a car that can be daily driven, and taken to the track on weekends. Maybe turn up the boost, run race gas, put on a set of slicks, and maybe be in the 12's or 11's. Thats a very fast street car.

what do u expect, it's a nine sec car. don't tell me ur expecting power windows and crap? this car is not a daily driver, but a drag car so it's not street legal. but i do see your point on the matter, this car wasn't made to drive around town but more for the hardcore race enthusiast, so for a $35k 9sec. car this isn't bad at all.
