It annoys me when people never follow up.

So OP did you buy one of those cars or did you end up buying a Nissan Leaf or a Toyota Prius?

FYI my daily driver puts down more power than any of your rides, lol. Big block olds powaaaa *******.

To the OP, go with the 3rd gen camaro. Build a 350 or ls series for it and be like everyone else. Cool story

OR, get the foxbody and build a 540 stroker big block and drop in (theres kits for the big block swap).

You keep insulting my cars as though you know anything about them.

Got a picture of this fabulous oldsmobile I keep hearing about?

mustang by far. way better drag platform and you can to a 408 stroker on the 351 and make 700 easy with some boost or spray. plus you can make it 2400lbs and **** anybody in the same price range. do not get a 94-95. they are still 5.0's but ugly as balls and heavier. also, you could get a teksid block and make a 1000hp motor if you want. it's way cheaper than doing an LS-based build in the same power range. I have an 87 coupe myself.

I would get the fox and do a LSX swap into it.

A few years ago, one of my friends purchased a 4 Cylinder fox and did a GT swap into it AFTER adding subframe connectors. His poor GT chassis was twisted beyond recognition from all the abuse that was done to it over the years. Then again, I got my @$$ handed to me by a late 80s Camaro with a 383 stroker under the hood.

If I were going retro, I'd get a notchback then modify it. Even back in the day, it didn't take much to make a 5.0 notch smoke the rustang GTs from the same era. In fact, the old dragster secret to making them go faster was to drop a Chevy small block under the hood. That way you could pi$$ off both the die hard Chevy and Ford guys!
