We follow SFWD rules…two seats, carpet , full dash, full galss, gas tank in stock locations, 2400lb min weight.

we spend 15k (included new paint job and front end) already on juans car. 60k car would be a 8sec honda with racepak dash and dog box tranny, mark willams axles…alot more shit.

Good to know. I dont hunda nut swing so I dont have a clue what they weight.

How the hell could you only spend 15K on that car? (points the finger to AROD not GPSI) I call BS on that one. I havent paid a bill to another shop EVER on my car, so its all parts cost… infact I have a excel sheet with parts I put into the car and its damn close to that mark, and I know Synapse doesnt work for free so I doubt those figures. but what ev.
