The Alpha 12 kit just went 8's.
But the thing most these kits are the price of another car or more. The Alpha 12 kit is 100k.
You can build a camaro TT mustang TT for way less and be faster in the end. Hell you can buy Evolution's car that ran 8.8's@148 for 59k. They have it for sell. Its all what you want and how deep your pockets are.
Hmm 200k in a car to run 8-9's or 60k in a car to run 8's or 9's.
As far as street car that is all in a person's view. Plenty of us know people that drive 700whp and even 1000whp car son the street that can run 9's or maybe even 8's. As either way with a GTR or mustang/camaro to technical run below 11.49 you need a roll bar. Or you get booted from the track.

If we keep going down the road of "well this car can run this, for less" than we will all be at a Gremling or Vega for under 15-20k. I wouldn't drive that if it could take me to mars, ok maybe mars. Hell if price/investment is where its at, we would all ride Busas. A vehicle capable of high 9's stock. See what I mean?
Peole "ike" the GTR's because they can go just as fast in a straight line as others that were made for that. Put it this way, what if a CTS-V could do what a 2012 GTR does? Wouldn't we all be intrigued? Plus, its comfortable, much as I like Vette's, why buy one, when I can get Speed, luxory, and a GREAT interior? Oh I'm talking of a Porsche lol

Dude..the GTR is a turbo car and it is makes power more efficiently than a SC car with the same psi. If GM made a Vette with a "true" low compression high boost turbo motor with comparable specs to an LS3, do you realize how fast that thing would be. Look at the ZR1..it made 640Hp with a SC. Imagine if this was a turbo car!
There is a video on Youtube that some one posted on here recently with a Ford GT with twin turbos. The car was rediculously fast

Great you can spend less and you'll get less. None of those cars you listed are nearly as luxurious and smooth to drive as a GTR would be. Or reliable either im sure. Im not saying a 8-9 second car is reliable but to make a RWD mustang or camaro do that is gonna take more work to the suspension and drivetrain and that will not help drivability.

Don't mind that junk fbody in the way, but look at that alpha gr-r in the background. This is where alphas are born and shipped across the country back to their owners.

Just my opinion..I am sure not the same as everyone else...but I would take the Fbody. However, I would also take the GTR, beat the **** out of it for a day, sell it and use the money to build up the Fbody. Hell, even after bulding up the FBody, I would still have a shitload of cash left over for other stuff.

Na, don't get me wrong. I love my car, but seeing some bad *** gt-r's throughout the building and parking lot does make me want on. With that said, the last car i'll ever sell is my fbody.

GTR suck, plain and simple. I've beat one with my junk 4th gen that has barely 400rwhp. I drove the GTR after and the car feels really solid and stable with crazy braking power, but its butt ugly, auto and 100K so it just sucks. The stock 09 CTS V I raced was faster. Wayyyy nicer car.

Boasting about beating a GTR in a straight line is like Boasting about beating a Ls1 Camaro at a road course with a GTR. Beat them at a game that was never their intent. Of course beating an Alpha Gtr (insert #) is a completely different ball park. Much props to whoever takes one down

Lightingteg... I sell vacuums. Unfortunetly the money lately blows because the economy sucks.
Id personally take a ctsv over a gtr. When the gtr debuted at 68k back in 09 that was still a lil steep but about right. Now at 80-95k its just to much fora car that blends into traffic. Once theydo more agressive styling though the car is gonna own
