I'm all for it and I have the same thoughts as you, 2nd Gens are much easier and cheaper to get to the pro-touring level...but I'm the average dude, I can't afford to spend $60-100K.
I'm just a shade tree mechanic, I can handle bolt on parts but no way could I do an LS swap or any bodywork. All I was saying was this car is not an average man's car...that or it could be that I'm a bottom feeder and way below the average man.

Elvis,,, nobody is talking bottom feeder here bud and it certainly wasn't my inference in any way I hope fully understand that....
This is not a 60 to 100K car buddy,,, you could build this yourself for around 25-35K or buy it for 45-50 range and that is roughly about as affordable as a balanced as a second gen pro-touring build gets...
If you start with a clean shell that doesn't need paint (they can be found for about 10-13K) and follow the build otherwise... I'll bet you could be into this for a lot cheaper than you think.... there are LS engine mount conversion kits readily available and the wire harness is stock sent off to Spear Tech for update/conversion... Complete LS take outs come up for the 2,500-3,000 range if you're patient... I'm telling you patience and sweat equity will do wonders,, don't dismiss the option,,, or your own abilities so quickly....
