um, a 6.0 et in the 1/8th is the equavalent 1/4 mile et in the 9 second range, there only ~6 people on this site that have run ~6.0 or faster in the 1/8th. you have your work cut out for you.

A shitload of money.

Are you asking about the 1/8th because of Winterport?

yes as stated a 6.0 is something like a 9.40 or so....you'll need a serious motor, probably a TH400 on a 'brake, full drag suspension, big sticky tires, a good amount of weight reduction and some nitrous....in short a 9 second car is going to hit heavy on the wallet, and it probably won't be too streetable so i wouldnt plan on building a 9 second car out of a daily driver.

A high 6.X is a mid 10 second car. You can definitely get there for $50K, including the price of the car.

Cheap/reliable way? Have one of our sponsors build you a forged internal 346ci heads/cam engine, and put a 200 hp wet nitrous kit on it. Then get a built TH350 tranny with a transbrake, 9" Ford rearend, driveshaft, proper torque converter, some upgraded suspension parts, slicks, and go have fun.

yea it's relatively easy to get down into the mid-low 7s...i've done a bunch of 7.60s on my stock motor w/ no nitrous. cracking the 6 second barrier is pretty fast.
