    Btw we saw that another channel posted a similar video this week, but before anyone asks, it’s actually because James hacked into their server and stole the idea along with their Runescape gold Just kidding, we usually shoot our videos at least 6 weeks in advance and filmed this all the way back in December. What would your DIY Hellcat Beater be?

      @@aspacenerdfromflorida1134Bisimoto makes one with over 800+ HP, but that’s tuned for boost PER GEAR, so each gear is making only a certain few hundred HP. That’s not to mention it’s relatively still a bit heavy, even after even being gutted. I’d say maybe a Pilot or Ridgeline might be a bitter choice, especially if you’re still needing the extra room to haul around things or do whatever it is that you need to do.

    Another option would be a Factory Five 818. If your not familiar, it's a Subaru WRX powered, mid-engine, rear wheel drive kit car that weighs 1800-2000 lbs depending on how you build it. If you find a good deal on the donor car and do the build yourself, you can build the car for right around $15000 and make 400HP on a stock motor with a few upgrades and some tuning. If you can find the budget for forged internals and a bigger turbocharger you can make around 600HP - in a car that weighs less than 2000lbs.

    • @caseymurray7722
      @caseymurray7722 Рік тому

      Although the 818 is cool and I think a better track car, the DF goblin is by far a better bet for drag races. It's mid engine with an ecotech motor. With a turbo lsj you can make ~400 hp with stock internals. The kit is less and donors are also cheaper since it's based on a cobalt.

The track mandates he runs a parachute since he runs in the 8's at more than 165mph I don't know his exact trap but that fucking thing shakes car at stop lights. You can barely see the rear end because the tires are so wide, I believe his track tires are over 20 inches wide wrinkle wall slicks.

    When you said "that's not the only K on this list," I thought you were talking about VW's 07k 5-cylinder engine. Half a Lambo V10, it makes 170 HP stock and does a pretty good job of handling aftermaket upgrades. Sounds cool as hell, too. These are a really popular swap with the 944 crowd, and I plan on putting one in my '91 Jetta. With a turbo. Because I'd love about 400 HP in that car.

      Hitler comisioned the People's Car (Volkswagen). Ferdinand designed it, which was an idea he had for a long time but automakers were not interested in building simple cars for regular people before.

    So glad the Metro was first on this list. I had two of them for my first cars. One I bought for $390. Both are long gone now, but me and a friend of mine keep theorizing on how to put a 6L LS in one. Fun idea to toss around and possibly make real later on.

    I have a 1999 S10 with a 383 stroker with Holley Dominator EFi system, a 4 link rear end, KW Coilovers, big brakes from WilWood, 8 piston front brakes, and 6 pistons out back, bride racing seats, momo steering wheel, lightweight glass(still functional) weld racing wheels, Hoosier Slicks, custom made LED Headlights with intake cutouts, dual charge intakes and a sequential turbo set up. For transmission I chose a Turbo 400 with beefier clutches and race stall converter (gift from a friend don't know which one he built the transmission as a gift) and a fully custom header and exhaust set up. And it's for sale btw
