Drag car? Street car? or a little of both. If just a drag car I would say get an S10 I know its a truck but they should be cheap and guys are running really good with them.

I've always had questions about having enough weight in the rear to get good hook on a little s10..

How do you address that ?

same thing as you would a car, move weight to rear, fuel cell, battery in rear, cal tracks or daggers, or a ladder bar coil over set up, back half, good slicks
here is a lot of good info
