Default Re: building a drag car, possibly a ute?

The utes are hard to find that are free from tinworm, and they are weak around the area behind the door/pillar - rust weakens it and a decent hit of horsepower will start to open it up.
Traction is a matter of horsepower and hook up. They can all be made to hook up well, but then if you throw more power at them, they will turn the tyres. It depends on the times you want to run, and how much weight you rip out of it.
