With full bolt ons, suspension work, slicks, and a sh*t load of weight reduction.

10 seconds is a BIG accomplishment. It's going to cost a lot of money and it's a lot more cost effective to get a SC. I'm not saying you'll get into the 10s with a SC, but theHP : $ ratio is a lot better.

Also, get down that low and be prepared to have a roll cage installed or get booted off the track.

total n/a, i dont think so. Think you can get 700rwhp from the GT engine alone?? just buy a FI

FI = $6000
Internals = $2000-$4000 2k is min.
Gears, Suspension, tires, etc = $3000-4000

I bet you could make a 10 sec car with 10+ grand. JMO but i could be wrong

Impossible. Well, not impossible, but by the time you got there you'd have changed your car so much it wouldn't even be a S197 anymore. Rather it would be,....well,.....something else.
