What would it take to get a MM in the 9's?

$40k prolly much more to do it right. roll cage, fuel system, certification, motor, trans , rear end, suspension...I'm guessing. 40k won't cover it

I don't think he means cost-wise, I think he means set-up-wise.


Here's the formula I have always seen :

HP = weight
. [ E.T. / 5.825] ³ , (Where weight is the total weight of the vehicle, including driver and fuel.)

If you got a Marauder down to 4,000 lbs at the line :

4,000
[ 9.9 sec E.T. / 5.825 ] ³ , which equals about 815 HP

So it would take whatever you need to get to 815 HP (on paper) - what do you think THAT would take ? That's the question.

Plus everything necessary to get that 815 HP to the ground : built trans, built driveshaft, built diff, sticky wide slicks, etc etc etc.
What would THAT take ?

Instead of asking what would theoretically be needed to run 9's, why aren't we asking what would actually be run by that setup ? :confused:
