What is the timeframe for the car? In all honesty, it shouldn't be hard at all to get WAY more than .86g out of a car that light, with that wheelbase and track. I would "think" that you can get a 245/275 tire stagger on the car without too much fuss, running a great set of street tires, or a good set of R compound tires with that light car should stick really well.
If you are in a hurry and do a bolt on approach (i.e. Mustang II dervied front suspension, good rear leafs), you'll still probably be really happy with the car. If you have some time to wait for what we are developing, I KNOW you'll be happy with the car. The same could be said for either car. I'd recommend finding someone with a car similar to what you are trying to build and go for a ride in it with them. Depending upon where you live, you might be well off to travel to one of the bigger shows, like Good Guys or one of the Super Chevy shows. With the cost to build a car these days, especially the cost of buying it in the first place, it's worth doing research (like you are doing) and actually riding along in a car.
