Find a nice Fiero. With the F/G body you can kit it out. The 6 cyl. is by far better than the 4, much quicker. Find a decent powered cheap engine to put in and that sucker will fucking fly, you'll just have to add a little front weight possibly. And make sure you watch the temp.

I had a 4 cyl. and the 6 cyl and I would fly in them. The 6 cyl. has good pick up and speed, I could hit I-10 in Phoenix and fly to Tuscon. I had it flying once no problem but dropped it down fast because I get scared too fast, especially with poitronic steering (the faster you go the looser the steering is). I'd do 80-85 as a rule and I never had any problems at all.

The 4 cyl. lacks the pickup and it tops out at about 80-85 it just won't go faster.

For the price (can find a good one for probably $1500) you can't beat it. And it can take a head on at 50 and crumple in maybe 3-4"..... learned that from experience.

My biggest problem I ever had with it was the lighting engines would short out.
