Craigslist Challenge
-
Things are getting hot in Fox Valley. You have $1300 to spend on a car/truck/van from Craigslist in Wisconsin for a 1/4 mile drag race. You cannot spend any money modifying it or remove weight. Your life depends on it.
Post what you would bring to the race. Bonus points for quoting the original 1/4 mile times

Acura car
supposedly 15.1ish according to some dude on the web

Supposedly 14.3 for this pile which I heavily doubt
-
Motorweek says 13.9 at 101
edit* time was for a coupe
Also this ad has a 99% chance of being a scam

What a ridiculous scenario! Nobody in Fox Valley is placing their life on a drag race. We all know that roll racing is the race of choice in that area!

MT says this brilliant piece of German engineering will run a 14.1. unfortunately it comes with the stock wheels but the lack of parasitic drain due to the car not holding a charge has got to take it to sub 14 sec.
