$25grand to beat a Dodge Viper

Ok, I'll make a long story short.

If you had ONLY $25grand, and NO car. What would you get and mod to beat a dodge viper?

Right now I'm thinking the best bet is a buick grand national. If you want more detail on why I'm asking please ask.

1g GSX, spend about 5g's in mods and buy whatever I want with the rest... Probably the best bang for the buck car when it comes to modding.. I've seen people running low 12s with just 2g's, so I'm pretty damn sure 3 more g's you would be able to take a Viper.

What other car could you buy for under 5g's and run that fast with 5g's in mods AND the cost of the car? Probaby no other car.

My buddy has a '89 5.0L with about 2gs worth of work running 12s on street tires, we're putting a roll cage in next month so he can update his heads and run 11s

if you could find a GN for cheap, then you could make twice as much hp as a viper with the rest of the money.....they go for 10K and up though......

i'd get 2.3 ford turbo car.....with over 20K in mods to play with, you could easily run 10's....i was in the high 12's with way less than $4000 car and all

"busa"?
The viper guy said he wants to race for slips.

GN is what I'm thinking too. I saw what they did to that 1stGen GSX on that one show with $10,000. Not the kinda stuff that will blow the doors off a viper. GNX mabey.

Then you don't know shit about modding a turbo DSM. You won't need anywhere near 10g's to take a Viper in a GSX. Like I said, with 2g's you can run low 12s, so just think what a couple of more g's would do.

Your right, I don't know shit about modding a turbo DSM, or a DSM period, never owned one. Consumer reports say they are crap. Sooo. Mabey I might look into it, but a Gran National will whoops a 1g DSM.... any DSM's ass anyway.

If the only stipulation was to beat the viper, I'd get pretty much anything, beef up the internals for a few grand, and stuff the motor with plenty of nitrous. Wouldn't be THAT difficult to beat.

buy a FD for 12 thousand, use the other 13 thousand for a nice single turbo set up, and you'd be able to win easily. is the viper stock? cause if so, there are lots of choices that could take it

OK. So to make it fair, I shall convert the USD$25K into Australian bucks. Which as of today, is AUD$33190 (31st March, 2004 using www.oanda.com). Make it AUD$33K.

A few ideas:
Idea 1
ECR33 Skyline GTS25t automatic car (blown engine), RB30 block/RB26DETT head engine, Toda valvetrain, XTR T76 turbo, GM Turbo Hydramatic 4L80-E gearbox, etc.

Idea 2
1994 WRX tuned to hell

Idea 3
Caterham Superlight R500

Idea 4
Dax Rush MC (Lotus 7 type car with Turbo Hayabusa engine)

Idea 5
Turbocharged Yamaha YZF R1
