| Cost to build 6.0 cert doos car | Login/Join |
DRR Trophy |
I've been looking for a replacement for my car and have found a couple that were never finished. One has been sitting since 2016, the chassis basically complete with body mounted 6.0 single frame rail. The other is much closer to complete, it is 6.0 double frame rail car built it 2023. Curious what cost to build a new one. | ||

At least 3X what you can buy a nice roller for. "Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular." Dave Cook N375 | |||

The double frame rail car has everything mounted, carbon interior and tubs, Mark Williams rear, wheelie bars. Needs pulled apart and chassis painted. Has basically everything with it to finish including wiring kit, lexan is in it, comes with brake line kit, shifter, ignition, data logger w rpm perf dash, delay box, fuel pump, radiator and the list goes on and on. Can buy it for roughly 45K. Seems really cheap to me (45K for an unfinished toy  ) but I've never built one so not sure. I just don't want to get upside down right from the start. | |||

Be really careful! I would have it NHRA cert/ inspection before I purchased . California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

Upside down now or upside down later, take your pick lol. I would stay with a well known builder to help mitigate that situation if it were me. Buchwald has a nice Ness Grand Am for sale reasonable. | |||

I have been working on one for the last couple of years. Start to finish it was over $125K "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know." Marcus Tullius Cicero | |||

I have talked to the guy that build them both. Guy has over 90K in the car to this point. I would pay for a cert before I buy for sure. Where is that car located?

If you want to see every receipt and all details, I can show you. It’s easy to get carried away with parts But to build a car from the ground up that’s 25.1 or 25.2 that is a complete roller with paint, headers, wiring, and plumbing. It will be well north of 100K You will be looking at 70K in parts alone as silly as it sounds J&E has a COPO Camaro sitting on a 25.2 chassis that will be for sale at PRI | |||

Definitely expensive hobby, I'm going to PRI to look at stackers. Maybe find someone with a car as well. | |||

I know that a competitive pro mod these days is in the neighborhood of $500k turn key. If I had to guess for a complete top sportsman deal, easily well over $100k Mark Goulette Owner/Driver of the Livin' The Dream Racing dragster www.livinthedreamracing.com "Speed kills but it's better than going slow!"

Not bad. I can't only have my 6.0 car after being in the 4's

I'm guessing this car painted and all I would be 75k or so for the double rail car.

Has you decided to not fix your Camaro? | |||
|
| DRR Trophy |
It goes in the 1st half of December to get looked over. Will decide after that. I may fix it and get something else anyways. I honestly haven't decided.

Adding up the cost of a reasonably competitive Top Sportsman ($125,000) a used stacker trailer ($55,000) and a nice but used diesel motorhome ($52,000) plus one year chasing NHRA points, (another $7,000), roughly $240,000. That doesn't include maintenance on the car, trailer and tow vehicle plus all the time away from work where you earn a living. All to possibly win what ?????? $5,000, makes perfect sense IF you won a Power Ball Lottery. Bob | |||
