How bout a flippin caged 1st gen Camaro that has been stripped down to 2K lbs. Interested? I'll find you ten.

I like the Silvia is it's a late enough generation. But a 1st gen electric Camaro would get famous for sure, real quick. IMHO.

Ya sure, what's the starting price? I was thinking <$2k for base platform, doubt you're goint to find a caged Gen I for that.

Hence something like a Fox Body as a great drag starting point, but the old SX could be even lighter and has the right balance and dynamics to do both Drag and AutoX.
Mustang II. NO CONTEST. it is THE aftermarket suspension platform, parts are insanely plentiful, light car, decent aero, and not terrible looking...

How about a C3? Sure you could find a basket case for 2K.

Too heavy I think compared to those other platforms.
