Better to buy or build
 

Just wanting to get some input on what you guys think. Is it better to build a super stocker or to buy one thats already race ready? Just looking for the better way to go racing. Not nessicarly cheaper but more efficent. Any input would be nice.

Buy one done, it cost twice what you buy it for to build on todays money plus add at least a year to actually build it.

This from personal experience, it's hard to beat the satisfaction of building and setting up your own car. However as far as efficient.... you're better off buying a roller or turn key car. The down side to this is unless you're buying a "name brand" car you're never really sure what you're getting. By doing some research and asking the right questions I'm sure you could score a nice car.Joe

The issue is that most don't have 40-60K in hand at once, but can over 6-8 years.

That may be true Manny but 6 -8 years ? the car will be obsolete and with infalation 60T will be 120 thousand. May not even be any racing in 8 years if things dont start turning around, nhra has priced a bunch of people out for now as per some of the posts I have been reading.
