Cool that something like Joe's truck can run mid 12's at 7,000+ lbs but for the price of his transmission + exhaust you can build a car that would blow it's doors off... needless to mention the initial purchase of the vehicle.
I guess by mid July we'll see if I'm right. Just totaled the budget on the S10 from start to finish (buying the truck, tires, drivetrain, etc) and it's right around $4,800.
Big trucks are still made for towing. You can make anything fast with money.

my duramax cost me 3 times what your S10 cost you. it's probably faster, can tow more (or at all), gets better gas mileage, and will last 3 times as long. oh and my truck is worth $17k with 87k miles on it.
