Stock with alot of mods doesnt really make sense, if it has alot of mods, then it wouldnt be stock......

I like something with alot under the hood, but the exterior clean, and not all riced up, so pretty much a "stock" looking exterior, rims ofcourse, and for the interior i like something a lil more than stock, but nothing outrageous.

i kinda like the whole fast cheap idea, if u can do stuff to the stock motor and suspension to make it fast instead of going aftermarket for everythin, then its impressive to me.

I ruined my 86 with to many mods and working on to much of it at once. With my 87 I'm doing one thing at a time and taking my time doing it to make sure everything looks good and is installed right.

the big cowl hoods make 5.0's look awful, the race/drag paint jobs are awful, i love a street car no matter what type, they always look cooler than drag cars.
