Here is an interesting vid, and the Challenger Hotchkis built is representative of many of the builds on here, and is a little light in the hp dept if anything.

How good can you drive, and how good can the people you intend to compete with drive?

I've beaten Vipers, Z06s, BMWs, an Audi R8, a Ferarri 360 Modena, and a whole bunch of Camaros and Mustangs... I've also had my ass kicked by several mostly stock Miatas on street-tires.

I recently autocrossed an '05 BMW 330i that I honestly thought didn't handle as well as my Chevelle... but I was 3 seconds/lap slower than the guy who owns the car, so with a little more seat time and adapting to its understeer characteristics, I could probably have been faster in it than I would be in my Chevelle.

My car just has more adjustment that makes it easy to make the car adapt to me instead of me adapt to the car.
