I leave for 2 days and this is the first thread I click on. good for...about 1 page...then 2 pages of irrelevant bickering and pointless posts. I see we haven't changed much and I like it.
Oh, my opinion...if you want a cheap car to go fast on both street/strip (didn't understand what that was until MT explained, so phewwwww!) I would have to say Fox body. There are a couple reasons for that...
A) They are worth 1 dollar a piece
B) RWD, this has been proven to be the best platform (top fuel ect)
C) You don't have to replace the rear after each track visit like an F Body (MT taught me that as well)
D) Even if you are really familiar with a specific motor, you can just toss it in a Fox body (SBC w/e)
So in conclusion MT is the smartest person on this site.
