I like the 84 Vette idea, and those 84-85's are getting really cheap. I wonder about the hood clearance? Ernie - is there good room there for a carb? (pic's look nice) I love Vettes, but hate getting in and out of them.
The Malibu's are good choices, and while I am not sure about the weight and "aero" the wagons make nice bracket cars, and have excellent weight transfer. People love em or hate em, but get lots of attention. You had the 3rd gen Camaro, and know what it takes to make one work killer... (I should have bought that car! ). How about something like a 88 Beretta GT. Light shipping weight, aero, make pretty good looking race cars, easier in and out than a Vette or small car. You know I love the S-10... another one would be fine with me. Good luck with it. Cant wait to see it. Ken Stock 412 |

Why don't you just build the motor and put it in the Super 10?

Dwight,
That is an option. Deal is, I have current and up-coming team members that need a race car, thus, building a second super stocker. I have already planted seeds with Gary Hettler about the engine parts.

I did not think a vette was legal for GT. did that change when the year rule was changed.

EDIT: I saw a '55 Chevy with an LS motor in one of the NHRA finals a few years ago. It was a GT car. Dale

Attention in the pits! Super stock to the lanes!
Once again, thanks to all with comments and suggestions. The decision has been made. I have taken delivery of a 1987 Camaro RS that is completely factory original.[ less engine and trans. ] Looking at pros and cons the 3rd gen has many advantages and fits all of my original specifications. The 3rd gen is a proven package, relatively easy to build, relatively easy to work on, plenty of parts available. I will begin a new construction post for this buildup.
