ON the strip. Rock bouncer has 5.0 in it.
I usually run the big block in the sand drags but I got some street wheels for it.
My buddy builds a lot of super fast Honda’s. He likes the old crx hatchbacks. Last I knew he had three of them running between 500-800 hp I haven’t seen him in a while.

Hell yeah...most honda stock bottom ends will handle 4-500 horsepower all day long.. You can throw a ebay turbo on a stock civic and get it tuned and make 3-400hp easy and cheap. I like the k,b, and h series motors and stick em in a 90s chassis they are good cheap fun
New muscle is really awesome. It's like the days of renting a gt350h going racing with a factory car. I have bucks in my car but it would be nice to race all weekend with a/c .
The price of engine in that car would buy a 797 hp hellcat . From what I saw and heard it's not old school . Chrysler never made and all aluminium hemi in the 60s or 70s. Believe it or not a 426 wedge was faster than the hemi . Lighter motor same hp. Some of the mouse motors made the same hp as the big blocks and were way lighter .

All my finances are tied up in house and property. My vehicles are slow. Would love to do something fun like this besides pay bills.

400hp and what for torque?
That truck had almost 200k miles on it and just had medium injectors and a 62/12 turbo.
Over 1000 ft/lbs torque at the wheels.
Have had a few "fun" cars over the years.
Eagle Talon Tsi
WRX with 2.5/2.0 hybrid
Fox body Mustang
Lotus Elise
Currently have a 2dr G35.

I never wanted to be that middle aged guy... So I sold my cars right after my son was born (94). 70 GTO ragtop and 2 68 cutlass ragtops and some other odd stuff. Now I'm just another old guy so maybe it's time to reevaluate. Maybe start with a stroker for the f150 Grampa truck.

Rough numbers but on a 500hp honda you are gonna have about 300-350ftlbs of torque but thats plenty...in a gutted sub 2000lb chassis....always wanted a turbo awd talon the 4g63 hold ungodly amounts of power.

Sacrilege.
6500lb sleeper. Until you hear it. Got rear ended by a Honda...weren’t much left of the front of it.
This thread is killing me.In 1984 I traded a stock 4wd 72' Blazer that jumped timing, for a hot rod 67' Merc. Cougar a friend had built. It had a 289/TRW 10.5 forged,large solid cam,Weiand single plane,600 Holley DP ,MSD,Dual point dizzy, long headers,9 qt. oilpan, Crager SS 15/8" w 60s in the back . But the best parts were the Top loader 4spd. scatter shield and a Hurst Ramrod shifter.I never lost a stoplight race and delighted in whooping a half dozen of the then new Fox body Mustang GTs. I remember looking at them stirring their 5 spd shifters while I pulled ahead while I banged 2nd and 3rd gear in an instant. Their race was lost before I hit 4th and the next stoplight or I just ran away until they quit. I also raced a pristine 67 Chevelle 396 SS conv. on a summer Sunday morning.I was stopped at a light in town when he rolled up. He revved his motor a few times as I admired his beautiful car w the top down as his wife messed w her bouffant hair in the visor mirror. When the light changed It was on.......I took the lead and kept it. I felt sorry for them cause all I had for exhaust was the long tube headers w cherry bombs bolted to them, no tailpipes.The roar of the engine had to hurt their ears as they were behind me all the way, again the inline shifter beat the H pattern. When they stopped beside me at the next light his wife was screaming and slapping him about the head as I tried not to laugh.I couldn't tell if she was mad because he raced me in town, the loud noise from my engine/exhaust or her hair getting messed up!! I drove it for 3 years and somehow never got a speeding ticket.Then I bought an almost new truck and needed cash. I pulled the drive train from the radiator to the rear end and sold the body for $600 . I stored the drive train for decades thinking one day I'd put it into an old Falcon,Fairlane,Comet or another Cougar etc.Time went by and I'm thinking if I ever resurrect the old beast It will cost a lot to find a decent old body,assemble, R&R and spend more money my wife wants to save etc. for my dream car. I also realized If I did get my hot rod on the road I'd just get a bunch of speeding tickets because there are many more LEOs everywhere here now w all the growth and hardly any rural roads.I sold the drive train to an Iraq veteran for a steal 6 or 7 years ago and I'm regretting it almost every day now.
I rode motorcycles does that count. I bought a 57 T Bird 312 which I still have in my 55 F 100 which is OK, but it can not do much better than the low 13 when every thing is just right. When I turned sixteen I won many top eliminator with my 125 CC Yamaha. I was pretty proud of it then as my better times were mid 13. Then onto my Kawasaki triples which were a little quicker. My best was a upper 9. Then I built a few rails which were quicker yes but had no margin of error. Today I might manage to idle down the ole strip. Back then I did not mind working all night and pulling up to the track with out even an hour nap. Thanks
