I basically run the same motors and setup that guy runs in my shelby cars, with the exception of it being a 2.2 liter instead of a 2.5. These cars are easy to put into the 11s. Kinda freaks everyone out when a 4 cylinder dodge smokes Z06s, vipers, Z-28s, stangs, hell really almost anything streetable at the track.

1slow, look around town...........I have or am restoring all of mine. I looked on e-bay and find a few every now and then, good thing about it...............$5,000 or less will get you into the 11s, that why I don't care if the truck turns 14s......LMAO!

This 87 shelby daytona started life off with me as a $250 project, about 3 days from the crusher. Now its fully restored and running good, also have a 85 Shelby Charger, and a C/S VNT Daytona. If you ever get hooked on one, you'll love them man. Nothing like boost, but it gets expensive and addicting with time, especailly when you have 3 of them.
