Ok, well over the next year I plan on building an all motor car for competition Im just wondering what it takes to actually be competitve hp wise. Any help would be appreciated and all comments are welcomed

 

In the pro classes youd need somewhere in the 320-350 WHP range to trully compete with the front runners.

But thats just power, you still have chassis, suspension, tires, gearing, etc, etc

 

Im more interested in the pro am classes and such not the full out pro classes

 

Well, make that about 270-320 WHP, take chassis out of the mix and youll have an idea

 

yea, Man Im really not to sure what i want to do i just wanted to build a car that could still be street driven and raced at the track and actually be some what competetive, but i guess that's not gonna happen

 

Theres not really any weight restrictions so get creative with it. You can compete with less power and more creativity... people do it all the time

 

it depends on where you are located too. There's a big following on All Motor street cars on both Coasts. You see alot of fast all motor in Cali and scattered States on the Atlantic Coast. I dont hear much of Fast all motor competition in the midwest and other states.

You can be pretty competitive with 230-240hp Pro-Am car. with 260 or so, you can get into the top qualifying already.

 

Anything above 250+whp should keep you competitive. Its just a matter of how versatile you can be with your ride.

lol it looks like a pathetic attempt to post an advertising banner when your not allowed to have pics in your sig.

 

alot of allmotor cars that run good times out here make around 240 and up. the thing about the pro-am allmotor class you wont see to many of the cars driven daily. so good luck with driven the car daily but you can do it. just do the research. GOOD LUCK and remember have fun building your project that's the most important thing
