Here is what I’d like to see, $1003 build up 3 performance rounds: 1/4 Mile Dunville Time Trial 0-100-0 Total car cost must be below $1003 dollars, including purchase price. Tires/Suspension/Weight reduction/Engine is free No sponsers/unnaturally cheap parts from shops If you can find something on ebay/swap meet on a forum, that’s legal, but you need to provide the original post/reciept as proof That’s all I’ve thought of so far. ---

Like this, only cheaper. > Have you ever wanted to go racing? Realized it was too expensive? For the seventh time, we’re challenging our readers to buy, build and race a car on a budget. The rules are simple, just spend $2006 on a car that can drag race, autocross and be concours judged. Teams have to buy, build and prepare a car for our automotive triathlon — drag racing, autocross and concours judging — all while facing a strict budget cap. For 2006, we have upped the budget amount one whole dollar to $2006. [http://www.grmotorsports.com/news/category/2006-challenge/](http://www.grmotorsports.com/news/category/2006-challenge/) ---

“Tires/Suspension/Weight reduction/Engine is free” further explain, i mean the weight reduction is obviously free, but the other stuff i dont get what you mean, how could it be free? edit: can we get away with the car not being registered and/or insured? ---

$1003 would be a great number to put every cent into my suspension. I was planning on doing this over the winter anyways, with a budget only a bit over $1003. I’ll be on my own team, and we’ll see who can beat me around Dunnville 🙂 (as long as cost of car isn’t included) edit: I hope this little contest will involve more than just straight line racing ---

I didn’t read if the cost of the car was included or not, maybe I missed it. Plus it’s a Subaru, and slow. ---

The cost of the car will be included somehow. Otherwise it’d totally defeat the purpose of this. ---

That’s ok, in that case the obvious solution to win this would be to steal a certain red lotus and then sink the $1003 into it. Cuz the cost of the car would then be 0. Technically.
