well i dont believe its too expensive to build a muscle car as long as you r not tryin to build a rare or high dollar car. that really would not be worth it. i no that some of these import guys r buildin cars for about the same or more of what it would take to build something like same a mustang coupe, maverick, comet, later style nova, vega, later stle camaro, dart, duster, early barracuda, and these r just some of the many out there still affordable. now i no you r probably going to say about the body, suspension, braking, and so on, but have u all seen many of the imports runnin around out there. i mean, some of them have bodies that look like shit, others have bottomed out suspensions, and so on. now im not sayin that all of them look like this but there r alot of them and they give a dam, besides there is such a vast aftermarket for our cars that the prices r not out of this world. maybe it would be alot easier fora cop to single out a muscle car out of all the imports, but that goes with the territory. i no that when i get my car ready i got a few imports out there that r on my list to race. specifically a 91 civic hatch, a 03 sentra spec V, and a subaru wrx.
