Today's cost to build a stocker ?

[Rich Biebel]

In 2005 I bought a very well built car (PK Racecars built) LT-1 Firebird as a roller with a lot of parts to go with it.

I built an engine with pretty much the best parts you could buy from Woodro Josey and had the trans and converter done.....added and fixed some things that needed to be redone.

I had at least $25,000+ in it (probably way more as I never want to know how much I spent) and it ran under the index and as quick as 10.50 but needed a pro to tune the fuel map....I learned quickly I needed to spend a lot more money to get it quicker. The FI classes were dropped and I could not see myself pouring piles of money in it to try and run with BB Camaro's and also the late model cars that were showing up and running way faster. I sold it....it was sold again and the present owner has undoubtedly spent a very big pile of money to make it faster.....but it still can't outrun some of the fast BB Camaros around here by a good 2 tenths. ....LOL....

I love doorcars....and I love fast wheelstanding Stockers but it is just too expensive to me anymore....
