another rule, the car must appear to be stock, so any omni would work, put a GLH badge on it, and turbo it. this could be done really really cheap.

Stock quarter mile times:
1986 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo - 16.2

Hell.. that's .2 seconds faster than the fastest CRX ever made.. That would make a good platform for autocross.. up the boost and work on suspension

the very last little article. 11.89 in a omni, hell yeah. looks super easy to. and cheap. I like that combo.
BTW, I could get a base omni, and put the shelby daytona engine in it. I didnt realize that was all forged internals, and everything. capeable of 16psi. read the link.

what so fun about going straight for 1/4 of a mile.(I know, its fun, I do it to) I like anything racing. anything with cars/trucks (anything with 4 wheels)

it super cheap, as I said, my brother has $600 in his entire set-up, I don't have to go to school to race, the money to win is incredable,$5000 for first, its local, and they race every weekend, so I wouldnt have to travel all over the dam place to catch a race, and stay in a "no-tell mo-tel" and my brother and his friends already do it, so I wouldnt have to be secret about finding all the tips and tricks.... why not do it?

Hell.. Asscar's been around for so long.. Watching it and doing it is too totally different things though, trust me..

Also, I meant to circle track.. I don't know what I was thinking with saying autocross, sorry man..

I've seen that Omni before (one on the website). That pretty pimp to get a POS into the 11's..

" When the car was a T1 with 16 psi of boost it was running only 14.0s....but the extra 175 - 200 hp of nitrous I put through it made it run in the 11s....11.89 at 118 being the quickest. "

That amazes me..

humm...the more I read these sites, I think a dodge omni, shelby something would be a little better. from what I read, they are stiff and can handle a beating. (2 hours of racing at high RPM's will take a toll) humm...

i just found out that my local 3/8 mile banked dirt oval has a front wheel drive class.... i got my hopes up until i read the rulebook and it states that "cars must use cast iron engine block"

that rules out hondas
