Low-budget sleeper

Well you wanted a sleeper that would beat that Tallon, well I suggest simply paying him $500 to go less than you, and then use the other $500 to put a cold air intake onto your N/A.

3700lbs Vs. 2600lbs.....yeah, he kinda has the advantage. However you DO have about 40lbs in sound dampening throughout your car. And you could lighten things up by bolting a new seat into your drivers side (The power one weighs ALOT...over 100lbs aparently). There are MANY things that you can do to lighten your car up.

Next you could go with the cold air intake, it has been said, but I am saying it again.

After that, you may want to run 50% 130 octane aviation fuel (Just go to a smaller airport, and ask to buy some of their fuel for a cessna 152, or 172...they both use the gas I am talking about), and then 50% NORMAL fuel....NOT PREMIUM. Your octane should balance around 103...or so.

With a slightly lighter car, with a cold air intake (And they really don't make that much of a sucking noise), and running 103 octane fuel......you will at least keep up with him, and thats all you need till your longer legs kick in....we have top end!!!
