318 Street/Strip build?

well, I'll tell ya this much...take a look at how cheap it is to build any of the ones you mentioned...as long as the specimen isn't a clapped out POS, it doesn't take a whole helluva lot to make them formidable track vehicles. For as much hate as I've received being a Mustang guy first (look at my screename-that's my first car and one I still have), lots of chevy guys will buy a fox (much to the chagrin of folks like me) because it's cheap light and fits their favorite power plant handily...
