I picked 6, but I fall in between 6 and 7.
My car is more of a high end sports car build, not built for straight line, or cutting all amenities for the curves but a nice compromise of all.
-Built 385 LT4
-14" Wilwoods Front and Rear
-19x9.5 and 20x11.5 3 piece Forgeline wheels
-Full tubular suspension and Fays2 watts link
-Rear seat delete with custom sub box
-Corbeau Seats, 4 point harness, 6 point roll bar
-etc...

I'm not sure where a 555' BBC falls in the mix so I put it as an Aggressive Rebuild.

#6 for me.

My car is still very drivable, and still has A/C for now. It could easily be driven every day, I simply choose not to because I have another car for that.

#7. It it was faster I'd say #8.

Manual rack, no A/C, lightweight carpet, true duals, 6 pt. cage, can't use seatbelt anymore have to buckle the 5 pt harness, racing seats, no ABS, solid motor mounts, Wolfe rear sway bar that clanks over every bump.

Still has a stereo (that I can't hear) and I drive it on the street a bit (when it's running, which it isn't right now)

Eh, cam and a few bolt ons. And a little shot of the giggly gas. Cam, and lt's and valve train and a few suspension mods, clutch, opti, elec. w/p are sitting in my living room waiting for the install. The juice, cold air intake, exhaust (well a muffler and no cats) , gears, eibach sportline, and short throw and aem wide band are all in the car already.
