American or Import

[86MonteSS]

ok.......Pick a basic american and import car......no skylines or vippers i mean every day joe car civics to eclipse.....mustange to camaro any year......now you only have 5k u can buy any mod you want....at the track who would win......... be realistic.....nos a stock honda wont run 12s

[drdisque]

this question is incredibly vague

but you can easily make an LS1 or 5.0 mustang run 11's for 5k

with a DSM its doable, but would probably break with that much power and no budget left to reinforce.

Automatic Mk 4 supra TT or 300ZX TT its possible if you get bigger turbos cheap and do all the plumbing yourself and get some slicks.

2.4 cavalier lol

turbo it for 5k and make about 350whp and run 11's

[95dxcivic]

I think a twin turbo 350z would run mid 12's on 6 psi

[95dxcivic]

A pre 95 civic hatchback or a crx with an LS/VTEC could run 13's maybe 12's on slicks.

I suspect a Cavalier, since it is FWD, would need more than 350 rwhp to make it into the 11s ...

You get an MR2 into the 11s for under $5K and have a very reliable car ... you could also autocross it the next day

a 350whp caveleir will deffently not run 11s r u crazy.my friend got a 95 civic wid 448whp he only had time to run it once so fare did 11s but he jus got a new tranny and his civic is much lighter than a cavlier thank u for telling that bitch who dont know shit about cars the rite answer

[MR2Driver]

For a budget FWD is out of the question, at higher power levels its harder to get consistant times or decent launches. I say for that budget best bang for buck cars are:

1. Mustang 5.0
2. A, AWD DSM
3. As J&H mentioned, a MR2

Actually, to make the list short, any high displacement domestic or any factory turbo non FF japanese import.

how about a 3rd gen camaro how far would 5k take it????/

[Mediocrity]

for track use I can get a skyline cheap. cheaper than some of the stuff you listed, so by default I claim its legal.

92 Skyline GTS-T, bigger turbo and a bore/stroke. Total could would be like 9700 including car.

[rydinturbo]

it still couldnt beet my friends civic he spent more than that on it tough

[Mase]

get a z28 and a supercharger

[phillyx2000]

Camaro or Formula or WS6 or Trans Am

and get a STS Turbo for it for some easy 11's build up some money to build up the motor more to drop me into the 10s or 9s :P

[rydinturbo]

easy 11s my ass if u wanna were your pistons out in 4 runs ya if u gonna be runnen 11s gonna need a new stroker kit and ALOT of other shit

[rydinturbo]

if u want a fast car get a chevy that can fit a big engine get a 454 big block [500hp] [500 torque] and that is all engine get some cams and a blower and shit headers yull be running about 950 hp [BUT IT WILL COST A BILL$$$$$] the egine is about 5000 u could get it for the blowers alot though
