Look

strait line speed you cant beat a v8 $1 for $1. turbo's come close... but all motor thats as fast as a turbo car will get more credit in my book any day.

my car is just doing good as an all around good car with mediocore speed (mids 14's) and decent/good handling, but if i wanted a strait line dragster.... there would be 8 cyclinders and rwd.

Actually the rear steer is easily fixed. Upper and lower rear control arms for around $150 these days. Shocks and struts help too...and the sky's the limit on those. The GT's do look way too boxy (for the '87-'93 models), but the LXs look a bit more modern. Plus they weigh less and go faster. If you want wicked good handling, it's only a phone call away at maximum motorsports, Steeda, Griggs, etc. My car (with the new K-member, panhard bar, and torque arm with coil overs all around) has pulled just over a full G on a skid pad with good tires. But hey....a cam, intake, and head porting for under $1K means 13s (probably mid 13s with good driving). Add exhaust and a good clutch (which you don't always need) and you're looking at good numbers for cheap.
