you don't need to gut the interior for a/x, in fact in most A/X classes, stripping the interior is illegal per SCCA rules. But, show cars and auto-x cars are very different monsters.
a/x cars allow body work, and all that other froofy crap, but don't see many a/x cars with that stuff on. The ultimate a/x build is relatively simple (depending on what class you're in), whereas showkarZz are all about the build.
drag cars, well. I don't know nothin about drag cars, and don't really care about em.
if i were to build my car on an unlimited budget, without worrying about A/X rules:
ATR tranny
Buddy Club Racing Spec Dampers
Type S pistons, Maybe a Forged setup + sleeves
PnP/headwork
SMSP header/test pipe/2.5" custom exhaust
crower stage 1/2 cams + upgraded valvetrain
hondata s200 or AEM EMS
16x8 Volk TE37's with 215/45/16 azenis + 15x8's with hoosier 225/45/15
Jun Flywheel + some sort of kevlar clutch
CF hood
Lightweight bttery
progress rear sway
mugen buckets
and there's prob more but, you get the picture.
