I've seen it done, extreem boi. The Puerto Rico import drag scene is crawling with low budget, high speed cars.
Easy formula for a 8second import. Take one Mazda R1100/RX-3: approx $500-$1000 Narrowed Backhalf kit from Freeman Chassis: approx $1200 Imported twin-turbo 20b three row rotary: approx $3000 porting, fresh Garrets and intercoolers, new racing apex seals, blow-off valves, and massive Apex'i injectors: approx $20,000 eight-point rollcage: $400 if welded by yourself Draglite front wheels, Dragstar rear wheels, and M/T racing rubber (including 10.5inch slicks): $7000 Fiberglass hood and fenders: $2000 racing seat and harness: $300 Lenco four-speed planetary transmission: approx $5000 Total: $39,900. This combo will run 9's in shakedown and 8's with a bit of tuning and tweaking. The trick is it will be a BITCH to drive because it'll yank the wheels like crazy and twitch around under shifting.

Well then, I'm sorry I didn't do the exchange rate.
As for street drivability, it could be built into the car with a bit more of an investment. Notice, I didn't factor in paint, upholstery, tunes, trim, or anything not related to making the car get down the quarter mile. Yeah, you'd need a bunch of cash to make an 8 second daily driver. They weren't even pulling that off in the heyday of Pro Street with guys like Danny Scott. It took him a nitroused Gianino 543ci big block to make his fat-fendered backhalved 1967 Camaro run 8.15ets. And the car was only barely street legal, let alone drivable. But it sure looked cool.

Imagine the clutch work you would need to drive an 8 second car through bumper to bumper traffic
