Hell yea, I have an 80 Malibu wagon as my drag car. IMO, they were some of the best all around American cars to come out for the money. The Malibus for example, you can fit anything and everything in them, they come with a factory 4 link, full frame, the SS's, T Types, GN's, all had quick ratio steering boxes, the M40 suspension plain kicked ass, and you can cut the weight down fast.
Compare what it takes to make a 6 cyl twin turbo supra to go fast to what it takes to make a 6 cyl single turbo GN go fast. I know two guys personally who are running deep into the 9's for under 20k, including the cost of the cars, which are mint.
