that pretty much sums it up, and the only "jap car" worth while in my opinion is a supra......and if you think this stuff is expensive try one of those on for size....a friend of mine just paid $1800 for stock replacement door panels and another $850 for headlighs....cheaper? i think not

Supras are definitely cool and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

my dad and i have a 66 nova that ran in the 10's last season and the total including that car to do that was around 19K it's a 383 stroker, full tub, 4 link suspension, full roll cage, all the good stuff

its currently torn to pieces right now (all that is left is the body, no floors, no front end,etc) front tube chassis because were aiming for mid 9's before nitrous. it's going to be able to run on street gas also...i can post some current pics if anyone is interested

Hell, i had a 93 civic vx hb, gutted, with only two seats, and a dash. Bone stock JDM ITR swap (B18c5-B18c) with a 96 ITR trans, and GSR 4.40:1 final drive. With a set of M&H slicks, stock front suspension, and half a tank of gas, at 3100ft... it ran 13.97@99mph. 1.890 60fts. Wasnt too bad for an N/A 1.8L, stock suspension, pump gas ricer. Only had $5,000 invested into the car, including the price of the car. Best thing about the car was it got 34mpg!

After i put alil more into the car, and engine (turbo build) it went 10.00s @ 140+. I counted all the receipts, and i only had about $12,000 invested, total... to go 10s, with a 4 banger, daily driven, on pump gas. Wheres a stock fox that will beat that?

Just given ya shit man!
