ET's have a lot to do with traction. You can build a 600rwhp car, that barely can squeeze out a high 12 second slip( trust me, I've seen it at the track.
Daily driver(reliability, good gas mileage, no problems)and 11 second car do not mix. Pick up a dependable, cheap no frills good gas mileage car and then start a project car. When you have to go to work on Monday morning, you don't have to worry about the rod that's poking out of your oil pan on Sunday night.

And if you're genuinely interested in making a fast car on a tight budget stick with domestics, trust me I own both.
