[Carrera Kid]

OK, here is a little background on this. We have a competition where I work every year. We take our cars to the local drag strip and have a bracket-race day. Of course being bracket racing, it's consistency that's important, not how fast you can do the 1/4 mi. But bragging rights do come with having the fastest car.

So if you were staring from scratch (having no car to start with), what would you do to get the lowest 1/4 mi time for the least amount of money. Here are a few rules:

-car must be street legal (mufflers, drag radials, etc)
-if it is an '88 or newer, it must be emissions legal

That's about it for the rules. I had ideas like an engine swap, just to make it more of a fun project (V-8 into an RX7?). The most popular idea seems to be to get a cheap 5.0L Mustang and put nitrous on it.

Any other ideas?
