What does Joe's car run? And the idea is to build a car as a forum, not just attach a forum name to someone's car.

Isnt there more than just drag racing??? Its obvious that project Goodwill would pwn...but how about specifically designated for TR project cars that need to compete in 1/4 mi, gas mileage, auto-x, skidpad?, dyno, torque, torque curve, comfort, looks...

To do all of that would take a assload of money..Cause all those things take different setups...But what ever you guys think is cool...It would be fun either way

I dont still dont see chevy doing anything all that unless they start out with some 80s b body. LS1/LT1 cars are still too much money to buy for a forum project car, even v6 fobdy arent cheap to come buy. Mustangs can be had for free at times

could see the Nissan guys doing a SOHC shell with a DOHC swap and do a KA-T setup for cheap, setup the fuel system and a nice FMIC, and just turn the boost up till it blows, its only a budget project car

Honda guys have lots of parts laying around, they just need to step up.

So how fast is the goodwill car? How fast is joes car (i dont even know who the fuck joe is)

I'd say fastest forum car will be the stang and if it doesnt go fast enough then we will do the 150hp headgasket swap.
