If you had to build the ultimate street racing machine with a $6k budget. What car out of these would you choose and what mods would you go with(all stock).
1. 87 Grand national
2. 405hp Z06
3. 03 Cobra
4. TT supra
5. 02 F-body

Only rules would be no nitrous. You would have a dyno and a tuner at your disposal and there are no labor charges on any work...only cost is parts.

Im always really board and I wonder about these things constantly. I think I would go w/ the GN.

~3k on a built Stage II 4.1 longblock(used)
~1k on a TE-63 (used)
~1.5k on a built 2004r (used)
the rest on injectors, slicks, race gas...
Turn the boost up to 30 and you got a low 10 second street car maybe 9s.

 

cobra or GN

 

Depends on what kind of street racing you are doing though...

If you are racing at very high speeds then I'd go with the supra.

Can't beat a GN though...would love to have one of those.

 

Any but the Supra.

 

The cobra you can put on the KB BLOWZILLA, all the bolt ons, and run 26lbs of boost at about 700hp...but its heavy and has IRS...the only marks against it.

 

nice kill! Dang, that video was the bomb!

 

i think i sense some sarcasm... maybe this kinda **** should be in the lounge?

 

yeah, this is definitely in the wrong place.

 

Its in the Street racing section....its about street racing....mods can move it where they see fit. Sorry to bring inconvenience upon peoples busy day of internet reading. Bill me.

 

pay up

I'd probably pick the cobra.

 

I pick the GN I've always been a sucker for old muscle

 

DMNSPD,
Belive me, if I had it, I would share.

 

Supra is my last choice.

Cobra or GN then Z06.

 

GN hand down. Screw a Stage II block for that budget. 60.1 ceramic ball-bearing turbo, PTE front mount IC, 50# Delphi Inj, TRW forged pistons, Billet main and rear caps, Stage 1 heads, and a few "goodies"that are cheap/free depending on if you have a die grinder in the garage or not. Team that up with lower LCA's, an air-bag in the coil spring and a 500.00 convertor, and you will almost NEVER lose on the street. I know I've left out a few odds and ends, but it will still fall under budget.
Wish I hadn't sold mine............

 

Or that will work too.

 

Mine are for sale for you "under-cover Buick lovers " out there...hahaahaa.

GN ... then Z-OH-SIXER.

 

GN, hands down... As I think NOSjohn puts it, the "grandpa mobile" is a sleeper... If the cobra was lighter, then maybe... If I was looking for something for street racing, I would prolly go with the f-body before the Z06 because, who wants to race against a corvette? Not too many people... This thread definitely does need to be in the lounge. It is about future street racing, but has no actuall street racing story in it...

Oh, and NOSjohn, I know I wouldn't be able to afford one, but how much you looking for for your "cheapest" grand daddy buick?

 

I would think with a 6k budget, the supra would be the best bet for highway racing just because its block would be able to hold it.

If its from a stop, I wouldnt even consider the Supra and just go for the Z06.

 

Id get the z06, magna charge it, wth the bolt ons good from a roll, good from astop, good in the turns, and good gas mileage

 

02 fbody home port the heads F/I cam like a t78 single turbo with upgraded arp rod and main and head bolts. converter
