I agree with the rarity issue, I am living in south carolina and have noticed several mustang cobras in the lil local car show there r lots of dime a dozen cars that are fast, but building a car like a fiat old vw etc deserves more respect than someone who does vettes or mustangs camaros etc especially when they get em to go fast as the common fast cars if you have brand loyalty to fords or shevys you could always build a super chevette or find a unusual ford model ford had lots of european models that were great to tune for drag racing

wow, dudeman is a disillusioned fool.

there you go, vette and viper, both in the 7's, street driven.

ok people any f u c k i n g car modified enough can beat almost any other car. Give me a million dollars and a riding lawn mover and ill show you a six second death trap...so you should all shut up saying that "no alotta mustangs can beat that" because alot of everything can beat that but in the end those cars are some really fast unique cars...if you want to argue about something try arguing about how many other mustangs you see every single time you drive your car and about how at the track mustangs are about every other car because there a dime a dozen and have potential but no imagination...in my opinion these cars are way cooler because you may have a 9 sec mustang but theres a good chance there will be 20 other 9 sec mustangs where ever you go to drag race...a 9 sec fiat on the other hand...much cooler and much much more original

What's the HP/TQ rating on the Bug?
Don't care what anybody says it's still quite impressive.

All you you V8 guys dont get it. At first the aircooled vw produced a whopp ing 25hp to a 65hp years later. Taking a car that was not built for speed like a V8 car but so every person could have a affordable car and making i t run a 9 sec quarter mile is far more impressive then any v8 car period

the fastest is the VW paradise dragster...@ high 5's @240mph it is the rain ing champ...all on a flat 4...the king of 4cly's

actually it has run high 5's@~240mph...

Actually.... pick up the January 2007 HOT ROD magazine. There is a very lar ge and informative article about new fully in-car tuneable air suspension products that are bringing these capabilities to pretty much any car you can imagine. I'm not saying you'd be the FASTEST guy at the strip and then turn around and smoke Ferrari's at the track, but you could certainly per form well at both types of race, just minutes apart, and then set your sus pension to give you a comfortable ride while you drive home. The article's great. Check it out!

Hey 751978. You're right to be proud of the Vette. Since you're humble enou gh not to brag, however, allow me to do it for you. The Vette IS street le gal and registered in Ohio. It also happens to be VERY driveable on the st reet . It has, if I remember correctly, an Old's "Rocket" style 401 block and a VERY large turbo.
Interesting how people who are TRUELY fast do n't find it necessary to make rediculous claims. Of course I'd be willing to bet he'd run ANYONE at the track. Afterwards maybe you could drive down to the nearest Friendly's and... Oh, yeah!That's right! Your car can't d rive more than a 1/4 mile at a time. Sorry about that.

YOUR STUPID THAT PIECE OF S**T IS SO SLOW PUT UP AGIANST A TWIN TURBO Z06 T HAT S**T WOULD GET SMOKED HAHAHAHA
