you also say you dont want a full on drag car, but you dont plan on driving it that much. If thats the case, why not make it a drag car. you dont have to trailer a drag car and this way you could optimise it for the track. and drag cars win car show trophies too ya know!
im with ian on this one, i used to want an 11 sec car when i first started to drive but im glad i started out with a bone stock l69 87 monte ss the carwas a tank but for a new driver it helped me learn how to drive rwd and to just learn.. then i took a step up to my 78 camaro which had a mild 350 never ran the car at the track but it had more power and it got more experiance. then i bought a intergra from my sisters bf and well that this was almost killed me, i thought i was god in it, it had full suspension with some minor bolt ons, for what it was it moved but i thought it could handle anything witht eh suspenion till i crashed it...finally i took the step up to the 11 sec car, i got a 92 rustang had alot done to it and i did more work to it part recently put down 413rwhp and it is a ride taht i still have trouble handling but i want more so im uping my boost for more power 48xrwhp,

your always gonna wanna go faster but i learned one thing in my journey, dont think you can handle an 11sec car before you have driven a 13sec car those 2 secs are more than you think.
