10's on $5,000 ?

I'm set on a RWD Mopar car that's solid underneath. I'm limited on all my options, so I won't be reconstructing a RWD Neon or anything like that. Uncle Tony's Bottle Rocket is what my dream car for this would be...…
Except that car is a complete turd, and pretty slow from what I saw. I think you can do MUCH better!
