I know that this will get everybody going, but my OPINION is that is much cheaper to get a mod/prepared car to a winning state when you look at it long term. For example, a Ralt RT-4 BM car can be h

You could use the original 170cu in /6 with twin turbos or a supercharger. I kinda like the idea of a 67-69 Barracuda with fiberglass front fenders/hood with opened wheelwells and 315 front rubber.
