Man, it would very sweet to a calssic Goat, believe me, it's one of my all-time favorite classics. But I would not recomend a Muscle Car right now, due to gas prices constantly rising. Believe me, when gas hits 5 bucks a gallon, your going to regret not having a fuel efficient car, and your geeto is probably end up being a garage queen. If you really want a nice older, cheaper car go with a Datsun 240Z: 4 cyl (good gas mileage), good aftermarket support, much more reliable than any muscle car, very good looks imo, and when something breaks you can go to your local Nissan dealer and have them replace it for cheap, im pretty sure they still manufacture 240 parts due to the huge support of the car, rather than searching the junkyard or going online to order expensive aftermarket parts or goods that have been parted out from another car, which may or may not be quality stuff. Also, a 240 can hit 12's easy for under 7 g's. Other cool, reliable, fuel eficient, reliable cars that can go fast are the Nissan/Datsun 280Zx's, Chrysler Conquest GSI/Mistubishi Starion Tsi 2.6 long block 4-banger (if you can find one thank god, they are very sweet cars, my buddy just got his to run 11's) Datsun 510 Coupe, Datsun Pickup can be pretty bad-ass once you swap a Z motor in. Any cheap AMC: Pacer, Gremlin, SST, rebel with the 258ci inline-6 would be good if you want to stick to american cars. The 258 is a surpring strong motor, not a ton of aftermarket support as most with AMC's look to build the 390 or the 401, but there is plently out there to get you to 14's and beyond. Again, really really cheap. Another good american junkyard classic is the Mopar 225 Slant-6, which can be found in just about every cheap chrysler-Dodge-Plymouth, and thsose things can really throw you to your seat with about 3 g's dumped into them. And you could beat the holy livin hell out of them and they will keep goin and goin and goin. You can say that about to many American made engines. Out of all of these I would would personally recomend the 240Z or the 280ZX or a Datsun 510 cuope with a Z swap. But any of these would easily outrun any Muscle Car for the price.
