Is it possible to not just build a budget car for the drag strip, but also such that it is suited to be driven on public roads. A team looking for the American edition CarCraft, which actively helped portal HotRod. Last issued the call, make a real track day at the drag strip California highway California Speedway in Fontana.
Why 10 seconds ?!
The aim was cars, figures which kvotere to about 10 seconds. Withdraw the owners of such vehicles from Southern California was not so little. So why 10? The phrase «10 seconds or less,» sounded in the original movie «Fast and Furious», and implied it under a standard fast road car. With the submission of this concept filmmakers went to the masses, especially the youth.
According to many «endzhinbilderov» and the owners of the most different «shops», they are not often heard from customers, especially the younger generations, one common desire. «Understand it or not, that it refers to the phrase, people persist in asking for them to build a 10-second car!» — Says a well-known master, who asked to remain anonymous.
In the following overview figure below is not just 10-second car, but those that are easy to overlook for the coveted top ten. All of them were built by the budget (not to be confused with cheap). Moreover, many of them are actually used by their owners to everyday life on public roads. At the same time they did not have room for any stylistic excesses, which can give speed except that only in the imagination.

Chevrolet Nova Donnie Hyugetta...
Just like the famous Ghosh, aka «Donnie King,» also known as «Alameda Kid» Donnie Hegett true legend in Southern California. He drives have a lot of years, and many of the tracks on which he was to speak, a long time ago do not exist. At the time, Donny ran Vega, then there was a tiny sub-compact Chevette with a charge of «nitrosa». It's that little pipsqueak did not bury its owner, leaving the memory of his plate in his hand, the studs at the hip, and was nearly paralyzed from the waist below! But not for nothing Hyugett was one of the nicknames with the prefix «king». Donnie not only recovered after a serious accident, but returned to the strip long before doctors could even imagine that it will start even just walking on his own two feet.
On weekdays Hyugett builds and customizes client engines Superior Automotive Engineering, located in the California town of placenta. Donnie worked here for 15 years, and on weekends he takes work home, including those engaged in the installation of «cells» of security.
The most interesting is another. It is this 64'Chevrolet Nova Hyugetta was supposed to appear on the big screen in the 7th Fast & Furious series, where her role was to be the «Willy» on the street, being a rival to someone of the main characters.
Unfortunately for Donny, his car did not get so famous, becoming this 10-second car in a fictional world. The scene was cut from the script. The reason was that, for fear of possible accidents and injuries, the studio management to play it safe, which is not surprising in view of the death of Paul Walker... TMZ Channel even made a story on this subject, showing a photo Nova Hyugetta, however, «having called» her Chevelle-m...
This Nova Donny for more than 10 years. However, as he says himself: «She's a real money pit! I wanted to get a 10-second car when I bought it. But, as it turned out, at the moment it represents a little more than a „project“. Although the previous owner assured me that he had squeezed out of her „top ten“, in reality the car was not ready not like to track, and even to the street! Steering barely rotated and after a detailed inspection, I was forced to replace the entire front! „
Besides Hyugett rebuilt and the safety cage, which now meets the standards for „8.50 seconds“. After all Rebild main problem was... the torque transmission constancy canvas strip and preservation of stability during movement. It is not surprising, since the 400-th block, which is 6.5 liters, Donnie took 900 „horses“!

... And its «filling»
As a basis he used a block of ProComp, which put further lightened and balanced crankshaft RPM International. It is driven by forged connecting rods pistons Eagle RaceTech. It was «covered» additional bore and polished 227-mi heads AFR. Camshaft — Isky, and it was made to order the requirements Hyugetta! As a result of the compression of the engine has been brought to quite a high of 11.8: 1.
Crowned the new engine carburetor Holley Dominator 1050. As the intake manifold Donny used sibling Dart, modified by his order in the firm Wilson, with whom the middle sagregatirovali good old «oxide». And it is really old — the NOS Cheater was released over 20 years ago...
With nitrogen Hyugett has left an additional 200 horses, which he can raise dosed using NOS Time Based Progressive Controller management system. Moreover, it allows a progressive increase in the entire range from 0 to 100% for one cycle, the maximum measured 10 seconds after the start of a vehicle seat.
Hyugett says that he usually sets up the controller so that it throws right from the start about 25–30% nitrous, progressively increasing to 100% in three seconds. Periodically Donnie starts at 10% from scratch, prolonging the cycle to 4 seconds. The reason is simple — the complexity curb the power and keep it in a straight direction, as the machine is not just literally rears, as eloquently photo, but remains too long in the back two, instead of four...
Donnie is not without a spark of pleasure in his eyes said: «After nearly 100 meter» Willy»(wheelie — riding on two wheels), which was in itself absurd, perhaps it is time to put the car on the good old" Willie bar. " However, he immediately becomes serious: "You see, I did not get a buzz from it, on the contrary, I was angry because I had to lift the foot off the accelerator, driving" one-eighth "as my grandmother for 6.14!" After a few 'runs "in the area 10, in the evening Donnie sold not only demonstrated the incredible" Willy ", but also raced for 8.95 seconds, pointing to the" idle talk "147 miles per hour...
As for the rest of the filling machine Hyugetta, then everything is prosaic and austere places. From the engine is a familiar mission Powerglide, 9-inch bridge Moser with the main transfer 4.30: 1. Under the wings hidden exhaust from Stahl, which consists of a custom "spiders" married couple "Glushakov» Dynomax Race Bullet.
That opens eyes in salon eloquent picture. It's all very simple, even there is an old torpedo with very archaic instruments, while "max" perched on top. Note the unsightly "bucket" and the nostalgic wooden steering wheel, and then close the manual windows — is not the essence of the budget car to drag outings on weekends.

«Gypsy» by Michael Johns...
«Tsyganchata» (The Gypsy Boys) known to almost everyone in California Drahovo environment. Mike John, with its bright red 68'Camaro real frequenter of drag strips. However, he did not become famous thanks to aggressively austere mind of his car or eloquent sign-nickname on the grill «Gypsy Bad Ass», which can be translated as «Gypsy evil ass»...
No, fame brought other factors.
First, John, this machine is more than 20 years. And he does not just own it, and built in the late 90's, regularly displays at the start, being a permanent participant of Pacific Street Car Association, competing in Hot Street classes and True 10,5. At the same time a record for this machine is not a modest 7.9 seconds and 169 mph in the «Trap», and shown without any auxiliary systems — exclusively from its own internal combustion engine and no nitrogen.
It is famous for its speed and Mike with his Camaro. And these figures are made possible by this big-block Chevy 549 under its hood — in more familiar units of engine capacity of 9 liters. For its basis was the unit treated by specialists from Dart. Then his «beginning» of the crankshaft Callies, lightweight aluminum rods with forged pistons Venoila SRP. Top used 385 th head of the same Dart, which were chiseled and polished further known in their circles specialist Darren Morgan.
Well, the «final nail» — Engine compression was adjusted to not typical for these machines 14.0: 1.
Not surprisingly, the Camaro Mike startup constantly rears up and unlike Hyugetta John almost immediately set to his favorite «Willy-bar.» As for the powertrain, it is usual powerful Powerglide, seriously reworked in the California office of Mike's Transmissions. At the other end is located a 9-inch bridge with the main transfer 5.30: 1 and the axes, completed by Mark Williams.
Too bad one. Mike John is not only likes to open the hood and show a great «heart» of his car, but did not disclose numbers, «squeezed» with him. But we can guess that with 9 liters and 14 compression, the engine produces about 1,000 forces, and its torque, even scary to think about...

... And «Gypsy» Ronnie Brand
Not so powerful and fast, but it is much more easily controlled «Gypsy» Ronny Marx — 2011'Mustang. He simply shone with youth and freshness on a background of other participants in the track of the day. Moreover, if you remove him from the competition stickers and sporting alloy wheels — nothing at all will not give him a sports car. In the meantime, this points to the Mustang kvotere 9.02 seconds and 159 miles per hour on the "idle talk."
Like most of the journalists who had gathered at the cry, Ronnie has long been engaged in amateur competitions at various levels. For many years he remained faithful to it Mustang-am, sorting through several generations of this machine. But time goes by and the time came when Marx decided to ride the young stallion.
He bought a new car in one of the Ford dealers in California, and then set out to make him a 9-second car, and maybe faster. However, at the same time there was one condition — the car would be ideally suited for everyday driving, without any major compromises.
Quite honestly, the rest gathered in this day the machine can actually be used on public roads, but in most cases we are not talking about the comfort of "every day", can not be said about this Mustang. Except for a pair of specialized remote devices, as well as the almost invisible "half-hearted" security grills, nothing gives the cabin of this car thoroughbred "athlete"....
It is not surprising, since the main alteration touched his engine compartment and that's where...
Initially, Marx added a single mechanical compressor F1 Procharder, who immediately snapped mount stock crankshaft. This has led to a change of tactics. Ronnie turned to turbo technology as the primary means to increase the power. This is much more serious trouble, he ordered professionals from Addiction Motorsports. Here the famous "Ford» Coyote was completely moved.
The stock short-stroke unit added forged pistons and connecting rods, while on the sides there was an intricately-extensive system of pipes under the two turbines Precision PT6266. They pumped up the engine under pressure not the greatest at 18 psi or 1.35 Bar through relatively short intake manifold, while they themselves head and camshafts were serial.
COOLING SYSTEM engaged Josh Diids of Deeds Performance, produce "from scratch" "intercooler" system for the new engine configuration. He did, and the exhaust is also almost entirely of Custom.
the engine compression ratio is 11.0: 1. On it was installed a programmable turbo launch the controller of MSD, which controls the boost pressure as in "steydzhinge" because actually at the start and until the finish, if necessary progressively releasing the excess through the bypass valve "veystgeyt". Interestingly, despite the increase in power (unfortunately, Marx, too, does not say how many "horses" porezvel his Mustang) it remained fully automatic transmission Stock 6R80. However, Ronnie decided that soon will make changes in it, which will increase the starting dynamics that allow stable output of 9 seconds.
As for the rest, the rear axle 8.8 has been completely moved on Manny's Hardcore Performance. It was established the main pair 3.31: 1 and the new 33-spline axle shaft. This suspension remained completely drain, with the exception of regulated exotic "racks» Viking. "Half-hearted" security cell in the interior implanted in Carlin Fabrications. All of these changes have increased the weight of the already not very easy to Mustang weighty 1755 kg. In order to at least some weight saving Marx even went to such tricks as "cut" sports tank...
In light of all this mass of evidence that white "Gypsy" to "kvotere" look even more impressive. Meanwhile, Ronnie says that he wants to achieve from their last to date Mustang 8 seconds, still maintaining his properties everyday car. And these figures are achievable — but they are here the second part of the material.
