i agree 100%..thats why i would not have one.( no offense to dragster owners)..they are just plain boring to me (imo)..i don't even watch them at the track unless they are a 4.50 or quicker ...not to mention ya can't store them in a normal garage or haul them on a normal car hauler !..again just my opinion


If i were you i would go with a Door car ( stock suspension) ..you can still find 2nd generation camaro's out there resonable.....just like building the foundation of a nice house..i would sink most of money in the running gear..good rear housing,axles,drive shaft,slapper bars or Caltracks,Slide a-link ( bolt on sstuff)......you can always grow into your running gear...
go with whatever motor comes with car or some cheap chevy small block and learn how to drive (strip) and track manners....up grade engine as you grow into sport..


Just my opinion..
