I do agree an early 2nd gen would be cooler but it's hard to beat the 5.0 for a track beater; the cars are dirt cheap to buy and there are a million parts out there for them with plenty of track time to iron the bugs out.
I've thought about buying a track beater but it's out of my reach since I don't have the necessary truck or trailer.

yes, they make great track cars, and would be the smart thing to do, but I don't think I'd be happy with one. I want to do an LS engine and so the second gens seem like a good start. It'd be cheaper to buy a done car than build it, but after finishing the Chevelle my play money is wiped out, so I thought I'd get a stripped car and build from there over time.
