Hi,

I poked around for some "ET calculators" and ran some numbers...

My race car weighs 2000 pounds per regulations. Plugging in 2000 pounds
and various HP numbers, I came up with these numbers:

Weight      Horsepower       ET        Top Speed
2000        150              14.978     98.695
2000        200              13.608    108.623
2000        300              11.888    124.336
2000        400              10.800    136.867

So, you'd actually need _more_ than 300 HP to get into the 10's. You'd 
need more like 400 HP. In other words, forget it! Not gonna happen. Well,
not gonna happen unless you add 2 more cylinders and a _lot_ of cubic
inches.
