Cheapest 10 second car?

[Supra2NR]

Ok no arguement here,
I'm reading off a small screen off my phone so its real hard,

but what would be the best jap car will be the easiest and cheapest to get to the 10's

And I don't know anybody from sp racing
And I don't know why they aren't competing in the pro circuit

But most pple race jus for bragging right,pride and money here
A lot are not really interested in going pro
As long as their car can beat another
Its good enuff

[j3pz]

off the top of my head id say a crx or civic... my buddy has a turboed 94 civic with b16 swap laying down 383hp putting him in the low 12's... but his torque is shit so...

i know you said import but, i also have another buddy with a srt4 which is almost equally fast... little less hp but loads more torque. he has upgraded ic, electric controlled cutout on the dp and i think intake... he might have more done to it but i dunno... its a damn quick neon

Lots of parts available, light car to start with, and awd handling off the line
And the 4g63 engine has been known to go close to 1000 hps

That car would be on my list

Supras are good cuz of the 2jz engine,but a real expensive project
About 100k will get you in the 10's
You need about 800 rwhp for this to happen

And the all lovable civic
Not the cheapest either
But with patience, and the right mods
A 400 hp civic can do 10 second passes

I would say the fd rx7 , but the engine sucks, they're good when they are still stock
But when boosted , you dunt know when that thing is gonna blow

I was wondering the best model would be for a 10 second honda civic or does it not matter really?

Wouldn't the best model be a civic? In other words, isn't "civic" a model of the make "honda"? ...or do you mean model-year?

If you're in the North America, the Si is the fastest; Elsewhere, the Type R.

However, if you're really serious about this (i.e. you're trying to get into the 8s or 7s in the 1/4), you'll probably spend way more on upgrades than you will on the car itself. For example, most likely the engine won't be stock or it'll be fully 'built' (i.e. no oem internals). Therefore, it probably doesn't matter too much which civic you start with, since everything that will make it go really fast will be aftermarket - and by far most of the $ you have sunk into the car will be in aftermarket parts - by the time you're done it'll be a 'Roon Civic'.

that sounds good to me. 'Roon Civic' i like that but im just trying to get a nice 10 or 11 second street car to blow these show offs over here away. do you know any build threads that will help me get started as what modifications i should do to the car first.

Of course we do...but only if you start with an Mkiv Toyota Supra!

What would make you not like domestics for drag racing? The foxbody Mustangs are pretty much the easiest/cheapest cars in history to get into the 10 sec range. If you have to have an import just drop a Ford 5.0 into an rx7 like somebody mentioned earlier.

I dont know i was never really into the drag racing screen i want more of a drifting car thats small and sleek. something like a civic or evo
