hmm.... maybe its just a cult following, but there is good reason for it

Turbo Dodges ... K cars, caravans, etc. Very strong motor, dirt cheap car and engine parts, strong motor. Up the boost and its instand wheel-burning fun.

Turbo Volvos ... I like the looks of the old ones very much. They are known to go over 300k miles when driven hard quite often. Again, an intercooler, some boost, your good for great fun, super reliability, and easy insurance costs. A tad more expensive to fix up than a dodge, but much more reliable.

SBC 350 in anything earlier than 74. At least in CA, because thats when they quit checking smogs. SBC, is good for incredible amounts of power, relatively reliable, incredible aftermarket support and very cheap and easy to maintain parts.

I think any turbo car should be on that list. Turbos are VERY easy to get lots of power out of. I love the rx-7, buts its reliability isn't all that good, but for cheap it is THE single best source of weight/power out their. Also on the list could be the 2nd Gen Toyota MR2 Turbo. Good for 300rwhp in a great handling car, with stock internals, looks dead sexy, toyota reliability, etc... but they are hard to find and very expensive to buy or have worked on.
