To be honest, I wouldn't build another race car, it
would be a nice street car thats quick.... I've had
enough of the racing BS(most of it anyways). That's
why I'm going to really start back working on my
38 street-rod
Same here....very quick street machine...preferably a big block cuda. Very happy racing the roadster for a track only car....

You guy's may think I have lost my mind, but there is just somthing about a full tube chassis Chrysler Pacifica or Dodge Magnum with 14X32's and a 426+ ci smallblock stroker that make's me smile and tingle all over. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I'd still love to build a SS/GT style small block K-car. the 84-88's in a 2 dr. are the nicest looking, with the only addition being the 72-74 A-body snorkel scoop like I have on my 69 Dart. I'd stick with the small block, but a little stronger, say 10.0 to 10.3's at our elevation in a 2700-2800 lb. car.

A nostalgia altered, or nostalgia dragster. Something with a lot of oldschool cool factor. Then I'd detune my 330 a bit(no a lot, just a bit) so it was nicer on the street. As for shows, yes they are SO boring. I still go to one a year, so I don't forget why I drag race instead. Nicer crowd at the track too. For the most part anyway...

I have the car, but I dream of a big $$$ HEMI for it. It's legal to go 8.50's as it sits.Or a new Challenger with the new gen Hemi TT would be nice, or a SS/AA Barracuda, or a new Mopar P/S.HMMMM... I'll be checking my lotto numbers in a few minutes!

Dream = Build my 68 Dart into a SS/AH Stick car and be able to afford to run the whole series and test so much I wear it out.
Realistic if business picks up to where it ought to be = 93-03 Mustang SBF, Blue Thunder heads, Turbo, ATI glide, Drag radial.
Truthfully, to be competitive in either arena, it takes about the same dough.
Realistic = finish my 440 powered 68 Dart ( someday before I tip over for good) , which really is my favorite muscle car. Should run 10s easy, and be relatively streetable.
I'm Gumby dammit!

That one Diego posted would be pretty far up my list. Or a Pro Stock truck I think would be cool, or one of the current Stratus Pro Stockers, all this realizing that cost is not a factor. Actually just something lighter than what I have that can certify to 6.00 would be my goal. .
I agree, thats gotta be just about the coolest mopar there is..well that pro mod bird is extremely bad azz too!

Not crazy at all, to be honest I have wondered why I have'nt seen somehting like this already. A Magnum with twin turbos would be dang cool!

I would love to build a Black 68 Dart for a stock front and rear suspension class that uses a Drag Radial and the class was naturally aspirated. It would be a similar build to my brothers Cuda, stripped, acid dipped, painted nice and built right. I love the factory look on small radials going low 9's. There is a class here on the west coast called "Modified Production" with the West Coast Hot Rod Association that I have my eye on. Or to make some people vomit... I would build a 99-04 Mustang stock front/rear suspension small radial tire car and put a small block Chrysler combo in it. Sorry guys, theres just too much front and rear suspension parts for these cars for cheaper that make them appealing to me. Plus I like the way they look. A Stage V Hemi would be cool in one to. I might be able to fool some guys into thinking its a Ford Mod Motor.
10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot. Caltracs and Monoleafs, AFCO shocks.
