There is a Horton '27 turnkey small block car on Facebook in the Dragraceresults classifieds. $26,000.00

Once again thank you all for the words of wisdom! I brought the roadster home Saturday. I am sure I will have plenty more question in the future!

I'm going to agree with Tom on this car. To me, it looks like a lot of car for the money, and I can understand/respect the budget you want to stay with. A ladder bar car wouldn't scare me in the slightest bit for a super gas car. They hit hard, and that's exactly what you want for that application. Heck, my super gas car with a four link is set up very similar to a ladder bar anyway.
