Looking into buying a 5.0 f-body. My questions were about which ones i should look into more. I'd like to have a vert, i don't wanna make a racecar i wanna enjoy it on the street, what kind of RWTRQ can the verts handle without damaging the frame? Are there any reasons i should steer away from a vert if i only want a car that can achieve 12s? If even? Any other suggestions and any answers are greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Edited: What's the estimated weight diff. In a vert/coupe. Thanks again.

 

The verts frame is not as rigid as a hatch or a notch. It would take a lot of suspension work and probably 350 hp or so to consistently hit 12s. I'm going to have a vert for sale soon, where do you live?

 

The verts also weigh a little more, so that's another disadvantage if you're shooting for 12's. Gears are the first thing you want to do.
