Bench Racing: FWD converision-what would you build?
 

I have always thought it was cool seeing a FWD converted to RWD for racing, especially the GT cars, like that maroon Caddy Eldorado. With that in mind, I had an idea for bench racing:

If budget didn't matter, and you were to build a SS (or IHRA Crate Stock) car, and could only start with a FWD to convert, what would you build? Or what is your favorite existing one?

I am a mainly Ford guy, but a 2000 or so Buick Regal 4dr would be cool, make mine dark blue with a high-winding small block or LS motor. I dreamt of one and thought that would be cool. My fav is that Caddy though.

'01-'03 Dodge Stratus, with the 5.9L DragPak. Got the motor, just can't afford to build the car. More aerodynamic than my Volare, and much lighter, so it'd be easier on parts and towing, and a 9-sec car would strategically be easier to compete with.

5.9 Dragpak in an '88 Omni...the square regular Omni. I'd mount the wheelie bars to the top of the hatch.

Best use of an Escort Ive seen! Id love to put a 5.0 Coyote motor in something...maybe a ZX2? Not alot of good looking Ford FWD choices...

I don't know what engine, but I really wish I could build a Magnum Wagon. I wouldn't want to drive one everyday, but I think that it could make a mean looking race car.

I always wanted to build a Prius racecar, just to piss of the tree huggers.
