New Punishment shop car time attack or drag car?

I've been looking for a new project for the shop and we have been going back and forth between putting together either a time attack/road race or a drag car. So I figured I'd ask you guys what you would like to see us build

Wow.. thats a hard one there. We have a ton of shops with drag cars and not so many with time attack/ Road course.

What kind of car are you guys going with? A 2g doing time attack would be pretty sweet.

time-attack is the "IT" motorsport right now. You should build a 2G to dominate in the streetclass AWD or FWD...the unlimited class has so much competition right now.

I vote both!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE IT DO BOTH!!!! 2.3 stroker, go with a t67 on a .63 t3 housing or maybe alittle smaller of a compresssor wheel. So it rips hard down low, put a nice little 75 to 100 shot on it for the track to make up for the restrictive turbine housing!!

I am leaning big time towards a time attack car at the moment, we have 2g awd chassis lined up for the project. The street class looks like the best fit for us, we don't have the budget to keep up with the money the big shops in the unlimited class are putting into their cars.

I've been drag racing cars and bikes for years so this would be a nice change of pace. I'm sure the car would see the drag strip once in awhile no matter what though.

+1 time attack

What kind of limitations are you under if you run in the street class?
A build that can cross over into minor drag racing would be cool, not necessarily all-out drag or all-out time attack. I'd love to see some displacement added and a medium (like a BW S256ish) sized turbo.
