Mark your rights. What's funny though and even though its hard to explain to someone, you really start caring less about creature comforts and eye appeal etc when you get more and more into tracktime or racing. The speed itch will take over! Its cool to have race parts on a street car, but be honest with yourself about what you really intend to do with it. In most cases, even though people don't want to believe it, is that its a better idea to just build a race/track dedicated car. But then they see how expensive it is.
So for the most part something like a fuel safe, would look racey and be the safest out there and have that cool factor but really if you want to drive the car around and not be on the throttle 100% of the time I think something more streetable would be more enjoyable. You know I really liked that boss mustang that was in this months hot rod. From the begining the guy realized that it was better to just build a track car. Thatthing was killer and is actually driven! I like the street cars to(i have one) but if money permitted to have 2 cars like that are where its really at for me. Steves car is killer too, its stripped down, but not too much, still will make a nice street car. I bet that 3-link has a decent ride, not to harsh. There is no bind so with the right dampning on the shocks and the right spring/sway bar combo I would expect to ride good, and same with the front. Then add in a injected sharp LS2 and some supportive yet usable seats and that thing would be a blast to drive and not be out of hand either
