Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH! - Page 2

I have been pondering this question a lot lately.

After several similar threads in the last years, I'm wondering what you guys consider to be a Dime Rocket anyway
I would assume it would have to be 10% of something.
10% of a new factory ringer might put you in a decent RWD car

Maybe 10 grand is too much to spend for a slower car. 20 K might get a ten second car that won't survive a heads up match up, if you shop around .

How about 10% of a big block 69 Camaro ?
Is 5 K too much for a 14 second, sub index RWD car? Apparently so.

So just what IS a Dime Rocket to YOU?
