hey y'all.... i just went through this not too long ago....

i bought a'72 nova and i love my car, but it was in good shape and built decent .... added posi and 3.73s and it goes 13.5. all i have to say is stay away from the rice.....muscle cars own on rice rockets that cost 5 times as much. they are just big gokarts. anyway... if you aren't just doing this to be "cool" and you wanna go fast for cheap than you should buy a (braces for flaming) dodge omni GLH. turbo charged dodge omni..... almost breaks into the 14s stock. not bad for one of the ugliest cars ever made... and they actualy make aftermarket stuff for those things. other than that 3rd gen camaros and those crappy 5.0 mustang things are pretty cheap and have all kinds of stuff to put onto them.
