Edit. This is a ruff estimate that my car should run based on a few others expeirences. One man has gone a 9.98 @ 139 with the smae setup slicks and a 100 shot.
Sounds like bullshit to me unless he had suspension and a built rear. And where you gonna get a motor and transmission for $50? And theres so much more you'd need to make that work. You really can't build a fast car with $5,000. Just a temporary toy.
