Here is my Top 5 in no order.....

1) 1962 Chevy Nova II Pro-Street. Build up big block, tub out the read end, ect. Something like THIS is a perfect example. Still streetable, yet powerfull as all hell.



2) 1992-1995 Honda Civic hatchie. Fully built turbocharged B series block, gutted interior, the whole 9. Build it to run in the PRO FWD class. No street legal ride here. Trailer queen



3) 1986 Buick Grand National. There are a lot of people out there who do not know the potential of these cars. Kids nowadays see it as an old person's car. But build up the block, upgrade the turbo, do some head work and these cars are super sleepers. Another good eBay EXAMPLE



4) 1991 GMC Syclone. Turbo V6 AWD fun! Pretty much anything you would want to do can be done. They have a decent aftermarket, and working on one isn't too tough. I don't know how much I would do to one, or how far I would go, but the speed potential is quite nice.



5) 1987 Pontiac Fiero. Forget the stock engine. They make swap kits so you can drop in a V8! The car pictured below sports a 1995 GM LT1 I wouldn't go for the chop top. But with the V8 your power potential is huge! Plus, a 400hp. rear engine, rear wheel drive car would be an awesome street or track racer. Fieros are lightweight too. Of course I would repaint a stock one. They are all ugly colors. They also have kits to drop in the Northstar V8 from a Caddilac Either engine would make the Fiero fun as hell





I based my choices on a few things. Availability of parts for each car. Power potential. Difficulty of performing the modifications I would want to do. I also chose cars that were not extremely expensive to buy. Out of all these cars listed, any one of them can be bought in stock form, and in good condition for $15,000 or less. By keeping the price of the vehicle down, it leaves more $$ to spend on the mods.
