[QUOTE="Victor, post: 179947, member: 5454"]For many years I drag raced a turbocharged 4-cylinder 1985 Dodge Omni GLH Turbo. I had homemade alcohol injection and ran 16 pounds of boost with no intercooler. I gutted the interior. This car was street legal. It ran a best quarter mile elapsed time of 14.63 seconds at 98.25 mph on street tires. This car weighed 2,200 pounds. I constantly beat 5.0 Mustangs, beating five of them in one night at New England Dragway. I beat a late model Corvette. How? Holeshots! I was the president of the New England Shelby Dodge Auto Club. They have a website. You ask why did I do it? The rush. The thrill. The light turns green and you floor the gas pedal. In less than 15 seconds you are going 100 MPH. And it's perfectly legal. Money? Yup blown engines and blown up turbos cost bucks. I sold the car. I now sink that cash into coins, a lot safer. Also I have a large Hot Rod Magazine collection. The oldest magazine is 1958.[/QUOTE]
