Not sure I fully comprehend your question? Do you mean pro & cons to modding one?
If so here is my .02c:
Pro-relativley cheap to mod, cheap to buy (car), good styling, can be made into very fast cars.
Cons- window motors are trash(just replaced one), Heads need to be ported to flow good, and the awful dreaded opti spark. However they now have a coil conversion that you would find in a ls based motor.

pros: cheap, great potential, great torque, cheaper mods (in comparison to lsx motors), availablity of OBDI
cons: stock head porting is limited, opti(isn't as bad as everyone says), spark plug access with stock manifolds

I think when they are built up they are badass cars. The first big thing to buy would probably be the 300 dollar programmer(Hypertech). Yes it does cost alot, but boltons should bring you to atleast 390+(??? ) to the rear wheels. That more consists of everything like headers, tb, injectors, cam shaft, TCI Torque, etc. but its all worth it

pros: easy to mod, pretty fast in stock form
cons: shitty rear end, too many sensors and computer things to go wrong, heavy, expensive to mod (compared to SBC or even some ford buildups

Pro's- cheap, pretty fast stock, not immpossible to make fast, like nitrous
Cons- Hard to find low mileage, and the ones that are come near in price to a LS1, your shit outta luck if the motor lets go, I hope you have 3-5k laying around for a rebuild. You will need forced induction to see 11's unless your last name happens to be Lingenfelter.
