Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 20, 2007 "You can have a ride for just £499" :lol: Oooh I'll take 3 runs please :D I suspect that probably just about covers the fuel for the run, especially if it's a Nitromethane & alcohol beasty :lol: Trouble is, once you've been up the 1/4 in that, your own car would feel pathetically slow afterwards!

Jonny_L 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Yeah I got that one too. How cool would that be. I think I saw a 2 seater dragster at VW Action a while ago, looked scary. £500 though. Worth every penny I'm sure, and good value for all the costs involved to them for rebuilds etc., but we're talking nearly £100 a second :shock: WICKED! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdubCorrado 0 Posted April 21, 2007 that's ridiculous! £399 for one pass?!?! damn for that much money you can make a start to building your own car and take as many passes as you want haha alright £400 won't make a stupid fast drag car but hey if you cut and hack and remove alot of stuff you'd be suprised... i'm looking to get high 10's / low 11's with my red rado. fully built 16v turbo, 8pt roll cage, and stipped interior will be the final product... i started stripping the car today but it's really sunny and like 80 deg. fahrenheit... so what like uh? 27 celcius or so... and then inside a car baking in the glass make me sweat uncomfortably so i stopped... anyone want some USA automatic seat belts? :lol: and soon pulling my electric window set up... as soon as i can get some manual ones...

PhatVR6 0 Posted April 21, 2007 I know a lad who's had a ride in a 7.5 second car. he said it was the single most horrific experience in his life. Siad he just wanted to get out of the car all the way down. utterly terrifying, like someone was beating his whole body at the same time. great! would love a go, but not for £500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
