Just thought of a few that obviously haven't seen this thread yet.
Jag, Bigarf, and Fai17 all have road legal newage cars that have ran confirmed 10 second 1/4 miles.
I believe Arfs was the fastest of the 3 with a 10.76 @ York, Jags was probably the greatest achievement running his 10 in a fully trimmed car with all the associated hardware, aircon, spare wheel, subs etc etc.

too many wee lads (brought up on a diet of Fast and Furious) think that a car is not fat unless it is a "10 second" car. if they had even the remotest idea of what was needed (especially for a classic shape car) they would soil themselves. like yourself i have spent a small fortune on my car in its various guises. each version getting a little faster.
i have been trying for a number of years. but i have had a 5 year hiatus due to family commitments and not having as much money to spend on my car. my best is 11.2 @ 135. I had the power just not the driving skills. hopefully this new build i am having done will see me finally into the 10s.
congrats on having a special car. keep her between the hedges and if she stays together then you can only get faster.

good lad. then you know how special a 10 second car is. how much time , effort, money, research and trail and error goes into one of these cars most people wouldn't believe.

From: Slowly rebuilding the kit of bits into a car...
It's the expense of running these cars continuously that stops them being daily drivers.
A "friend" has killed an Exedy twin plate, re-built it and seen it fail again, so he's had to upgrade, at a price. That price is that you wouldn't want to "waste" it's life going to Morrisons shopping anymore...
That doesn't mean that it isn't used a couple of times a week for recreation
But it does mean that it appears on a trailer to events too !

P.S. Even if my car had the power, I've no interest in drag racing at my age I measure my reaction times in minutes fourteen years and £75K on Subarus plus their mods so far !
