What do you consider to be a fast 400m time?

[dillonm]

and crank

[Legit290]

I consider your PB to be a quick time...just keep on chipping away

70k wow, I can't see it myself unless it's been built twice over or every mod was done individually and dynoed after.

I have always wanted a 10 second street car and always thought that was bloody fast. I'll be happy if my te will get a 10.99 when done, but after that it'll get setup for corners. I would just like to crack a ten.

been involved with a few 9 & 8-sec car builds over the years. You'd be surprised at what can be achieved. The Capri we have is at the top end and has cost $85k over 25 years that includes painting twice, 2 x 302 Windsors and the 4L turbo plus now the freshen up of it, has run 100's of low-mid 8-sec passes, we cruise it everywhere drives just like a daily from back in the 70's

We just finished another streeter which will be another 8-sec car, all up there's about $35k worth of gear gone into the car. You pick and choose the right car/combo you can get away with it cheap.

Any car running 10's is super fast, if ur running those types of numbers then you got a mega quick car on ur hands.

To the original question, fast or quick lol, flame suit on.
Fast is the MPH
Quick is the ET

Sub 13 is quick, yep stock turbo falcon of any model is.

Hey diillonm 70000 is nuts my ba xr8 ute with a stock engine on nos and six speed ran low elevens hundreds of times .still stock engine 4speed manual runs 10.60s .for under 70000 you can by and fit a sonnys 729 ford engine and drive it on the street .send it to Dynomite.performance .im bias but I reckon he is the best .and he has records to prove it .

It cost Gup over a $120k to have a Sonny 727 fitted to his VE by HighTourqe. I reckon it would be at least $75K just to get the engine to OZ..

$70K on a 5.4 is ridiculus been there done that, Built engine, 2 blower combos, Fuel system, 4 clutches and a **** load of fun had!

$70000on a 5.4 is ridiculous

Fast car. 11.99 and below. Anything above that is a family taxi.

[mex351]

Well low 12's @112 mph for under $15'000 including purchase price and a solid 13years service.Oh and nat asp and still 6cyl powered.Carried its new engine box and diff home and I did 98% of the build.

It WILL run 11's based on mph alone and is about 400 times cooler than any factory tweaked family box car imo. But now days people cant build fast cars they just pay someone to do it for them.However making something fast people say wont be is alot more interesting to me.

we are doing a build at the moment, 8's for $20k, it's still a street car. We decided to upgrade bits as will be a low 8 maybe even 7-sec street car in future, which added a bit over $3k onto the cost, this is a love job, so to replicate it if you can't do the work yourself would add $10k in labour. Still 8's for $22-$23k including car purchase etc not bad. Anothere $15k thrown at it, for bigger turbo and built motor. be good enough to get into 7's, not bad for under $50k

Yep pick the right car it can be done, and as you said doing it yourself certainly helps! But if you are going to try and do an 8sec car with a BA/BF/FG 5.4 that you still want to drive on the street its a different story, bloody heavy things...

I saved a bunch this time around with the Coyote build doing as much as possible myself. Still cost me a touch more than $23k though....

exactly, right combo right car it's doable.

A BA-FG would be dear, I did the math ages ago, wouldn't see much change of $60k, that was getting a car cheeeeaaap. but, the weight turned me off.

Doesn't matter how fast it is as long as it's FORD .
