If you really want to race you can build a competitive car for a lot less. But you have to pick the right car, do most of the work yourself, and understand how to make it go fast.
You can build one to run the index for about $2000.
To run a second under might cost $4000-$5000.
Or you can buy one race ready that will run 2 seconds under for $15,000.
A second under for 4-5 K would have to be an oddball combo. A Pro Trans and convertor alone for a 426 Wedge car would set you back 8 plus K and there are only a handfull of them in the world that can run a second under at any cost.
