What does it take to outrun Don Garlits’s 10-second, 1000-horsepower Hellcat Redeye? How about a low-buck hotrod, a Pontiac Sunbird whose engine was considered junk just two weeks prior. Total budget for that build? Just two grand.
Welcome to the Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Chal…
Can I say I'm not a fan of the removing half of the body work idea that I've seen lately.
Love the Egg. Looking good guys.
Ooh, an NX!
I'm curious to know more about the z3... it's doing remarkably well!
In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
During the drags it was mentioned it had a $300 purchase price.
New photos just added!

If you're talking about the red mustang, the removed body work was all accident damaged.
One day I really need to make it out for the Challenge... I think I will spend half my work day scouring for a cheap used car to build.
Only today did I wonder if a parachute is exempt safety equipment.

Only been one guy that makes that a real question. Lol.
The egg was posted in here for sale, pimpM3 stepped up (and I'm glad that he did) it's amazing how the paintwork looks now! I think next year on sticky rubber it has the potential to be a top 10 autocross car.
I love the NX!

I want that Trans Am badly. What's the story on it?
NX2's.. torky and factory lsd too.. $300 is nuts. Never see those no more.
Other cars are so good too. That wood aero is teh best.

Same here!
I love this with all of my love. I can't wait for next year - I'll actually be out there!
Definitely one of the best Challenges ever! The fire is reignited. Looking forward to next year.

Circle track front end, deafeningly loud.
Lots of references to $2000 budget and $2000 Challenge
Is it no longer the $20XX challenge with the budget equal to the year? I always thought that was kind of fun. The challenge has always been my favorite event to follow online and in the magazine.
Seeing a non rusty sub 2k foxbody notch reminds me of how jealous I am of Southerners sometimes. Looks like people had a blast

That got too complicated to explain to sponsors, and it's tricky to market a brand when the name of the brand changes every year.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
That actually makes a ton of sense. I had wondered about the change and that totally clears it up for me.

So you're saying that your sponsors aren't bright enough to figure out what year it is?
