It wasnt aimed at you... it was aimed at this guy. If he called it a "10 car", I would put money on the fact that he thinks his camaro i fast. -

I've been told that it runs low to mid 13's but I dont believe it. Y? u wanna talk smack now to or what?No, just that you were saying your car was fast and all and can beat so many cars. I'm very skeptical on the 13's though, unless there's a lot of stuff done to it.

I've ridden in a 10 second car!

Sorry, but I have to chime in on this due to my first hand experience at being a dumass...
When I first got into the scene when I was 15, I had HUGE plans for my DSM...I wanted to run 11's stock everything minus bolt ons. Little did I know at the time how much work is involved in actually accomplishing it. I always told myself I would do it...then it blew up, (all the bearings went at once, main and rod)...so the car sat, and just because it ate all my money and then some, I had no ambition to finish it ever again.
Bottom line man, you are not gonna have a 10 second car for a LONG time. Unless you have VERY sufficient funds to access you are SOL. Not only does a car like that cost a lot of $ to build, but a lot to maintain. I talked to GSR for awhile the other day and it's almost nuts how much money can be spent on a car like that. But it's his hobby and passion, that's why he does it.
As I said, get rid of the 10 second car attitude...shoot for something in the 14-13 second range 1st. Cars in that range are MUCH more reliable and can be daily driven...hell, even some 12 second cars are daily driven. I'm sure there are faster but that's beside the point.
Get what car you want and do what you want to it, but make sure that you have a backup for WHEN (not if) something breaks. That means buckup funds and a backup car.
On another note, if I were you, I wouldnt touch a DSM (even though I have to admit Brian's has been one of the most reliable one's that I have seen) and get the Civic Si...bolt on a turbo kit (with good tuning of course) and run reliable low 13's all day long and still have potential to get 30mpg...thats just my opinion.

You want a 10 sec car and have to pay your own tuition? Not impossible but, highly unlikely. If your psrents helped then, maybe. You're just not being realistic.Yup, another Nova in the making.
see my rents dont help me with shit, they flat out told me to my face that they wish i were dead, to go to hell, wish i never were born. so basically im on my own without help. got no help from family members, friends, no one. It kinda helps that I have a certain amount of money coming in every 5years but that doesnt go far at all. sry if im sounding unrealistic, but thats the truth.

You just need to bust your ass. Plenty have people have had nice cars without help from their parents....
