They are all good platforms, some better than others due to AWD, but in the end it boils down to money.



A regular evo can push 400 whp with a stock motor and stock turbo.




Or get a Cobra, run DR's, Intake, Exhaust, pully, Port the blower and run 11's all day

Sorry, i just love Cobras


So do I....if I lived in a "snow-less" state I would have one.

I did not know that....

<--- adds AWD to the "maybe" list



I'm pretty sure I saw it done somewhere. I can't find a link now.

If it hasn't been done, there's always gotta be a first.

Used Pontiac Grand Prix GT (7K) + Cartuning Turbo Kit w/ Intercooler (+4k) + built ZZP Race Trans w/ high-stall converter and C-Ya Racing LSD ($3700) + pair of slicks ($300) ====> $15k for 11's daily driven in a 4 door Sedan that can seat 5 adults comfortably with a trunk cargo capacity large enough to hold the slicks side by side .

In fact I've got two of my chrome wheels w/ tires laying side by side in my trunk right now .

There's always a bigger fish. A nicely modified used 5.0 would beat, bang for buck, most any car these days. Question is what do you got, how much you gonna put into it, and when is it time to stop and change rides For me 12's the limit on my car before I go RWD V8. It's "getting there" that counts, after all, because of what you learn and the fun (and pain) you have doing it...

Nice dyno man,
Tim
