Right youve got 50k to spend to make a car capable of doing the 1/4 mile in under 10 seconds..
What car would you buy and what would you do to it?? 
I was going to say 100k but thats far to easy
My choice giving the lack of my mechanical knowledge would be something along the lines of a mildly tuned Jap car with gas.

Very true mate just puts it into perspetive. I was talking about it to another bloke, and he just piped up he runs in the 9's for 8k.
Im still going for a cossie powered dax rush though

well a standard engine in an Eg civic will run 13s, so a tuned one in a mini will surely be in the 10s
