Refer to this thread for my ideal FWD street/drag car: LINK. Looks relatively close to street legal in Australia too. Not cheap to build I imagine.

ALthought i find that car very impressive. I think some people are missinterpretating the aim of this thred.
Im not asking "what cars will run 11s" ... more like... "Cars that run 11s, what enables them to do so"
If that makes sence?
The point is, there are simple things that make a car fast over the 1/4 and they are power and weight. But to have a car that is legal and those things is a compromise on legality.
If you just want a car that you can drive every day, then go to the drags and change wheels, strip the interior, and change the suspension settings then that is achievable NA as has been said. In turbo form it is easier. But again, it will be a compromise. You need to reduce weight and try and have a progressive power delivery. A setup that has nothing under 5000rpm and then makes full boost of 20psi at 6,000rpm is going to end up in wheelspin city unless you are able to get that power to the ground with a big set of slicks and properly set up suspension. Part of that suspension setup is a set of strong and very taught engine mounts. Solid is best but for a street car its not possible.
More later.
Thanks mate exact sort of info i am looking for :D
BLKCRX was ADR/EPA approved running 11's all street legal, interior although no air con but just get a air con turbo kit.. 11's are easy, its the 10's where its harder
jdmyard civic.. enough said lol that thing is awesomeeeeee
i think this thread is just a big misunderstanding.... yous are debating two completely diffrent things.. both are right... i think its best to agree to disgaree
any benefits on power delivery or strait line driving with things like strut braces / sway bars. I know the obvious reaons why not. Being a more handelling mod. But would there be and stressing/flexing between the strut towers side/side that a strut brace would help minimise?
or would this really be excess weight?
