Since the racecar is going away...need ideas for next project (street/strip sleeper) It appears the end of the road for the racecar is upon us...
But I can't totally walk away from what I love
I'm thinking of building a stupid streetcar that is legal to run fast, but the catch is...it has to be a sleeper...so no f-bodies, mustangs, etc.
I have my ideas but am always open to suggestions

Trail Blazer, you don't have to get the SS (keeps the sleeper theme). It has 4 doors, can haul family if needed, has a full frame, and there are quite a few going 9's with LSx's in them.

Me personally, I have always liked the idea of something old and foreign. 60's mercedes, BMW, or an opel station wagon. Easy swap considering everything is mechanical, not a lot of electronics to screw with, less to go wrong.

What about a '99-02 style Audi A4/S4/RS4 style Wagon.....
You could make an adapter plate to keep the 01E 6speed S4 manual transmission and AWD
or a '97-03 style BMW 5 series wagon?
Audi Wagon is 3600lbs from the factory. BMW is over 4,000.
Nice leather interior, heated seats as an option, good handling, sleeper status for sure.
