I always liked the Cuda
Legendary Motorcar Company built a Super 'Cuda for SEMA – no, not with a modern Dodge Challenger, with an actual Barracuda – and then decided to find out what it could do. The car is stuffed with engine and rubber: A twin-turbo Viper V10 with at least 1,000 horsepower, along with 345-series, 19-inch tires in back. So about the only place they could test it properly was Chrysler's Chelsea, Michigan proving grounds. For good measure, the folks at LMC brought a Ferrari Enzo along as well.
Needless to say, in a straight line drag, the Super 'Cuda owns the Enzo. The green monster and its turbine howls raced through the air so quickly that the windshield molding came off and the hood lifted by three inches. When it came to top speed, however – and in all likelihood, real-life cornering– the Enzo took the round, going 218 mph to the 'Cuda's 208 mph.

BigErksG2 - if you want to go fast on the cheap, super bikes are the way. I've personally raced against a bone stock ZX12, with a wheelie bar and 8 inch slick run 9.97 @ 147 mpg. The ZX14's are running 9.75 without the wheelie bar or slicks. With both you should be in the mid 9's and you can pick up clean used ones for 5 to 7 grand. Add a wheelie bar, slick and an ecm and you are in for some SERIOUS quarter mile times. Top speed is allot more expensive. Breaking the 200 mph barrier, you need at least 250 to 300 hp. Pretty easy to do with a small turbo.

Nuttin' but an exhaust and a tune. 9.20 seconds in the 1/4.
ZX14's don't need a turbo to break the 200mph barrier by the way. They just need a few small parts and a top speed eliminator and you're in business.
