I actually find it humorous that they take a car that is not by any means made to be a drag racer, and throw multiple dollars at it to try to make it "extra" special.. but too cheap to move into the big boy racer bracket (10 second REAL racers) but want to rag on anyone that doesn't step up the "their" expectations....Jo Jackson builds an 11 second Chevy Nova for $7500 .. Kinda makes you wonder what the race crowd here has been smoking...
And when you get comfy in the 10's, there will be a GT-R in the 9's giggling at your Chevy. And the list goes on...
Speaking of humor/bang-per-buck, if you can buy an 11-second car for $7,500... why are you in line to spend $3,500+ on a turbo kit for your Limited, and still be slower than my SRT? To be different?
I don't think there's a person on this forum that hits the track expecting to be the king. We win some, lose some. We drive a funky little car that's quicker than most, and it's perfectly suited for drag racing... it's a bracket-racer's DREAM. What separates it from the obnoxious Nova, is you can drive the Crossfire 30,000 miles a year, back and forth to work, through the Dragon, down the quarter-mile, and then take the wife out to dinner. All without changing tires, or kidneys.
Senseless to sell you on how awesome the car is, you're the guy that's eager to reinvest over 30% of its value back into it for a few more ponies. Now
that's love. I'm genuinely excited to see the outcome, and dyno numbers.
