/o/ I'm having a bit of a crisis here. I've been trying to figure out what type of car I'll actually want when it comes time to start really looking for something to purchase. Lately I've been in love with the idea of getting a classical muscle project car, fixing it up and then turning it into something really impressive, while giving it a ratty look like pic related minus the fact that it looks like an expiring banana. Kinda like the V8 interceptor from mad max. I want to be able to muscle people down with the cars power, looks and sound.
However I'm having fears that whatever classical muscle I get I'm going to go wanting in some fields like handling, weight and shit like that. So is it possible to get something like a classical muscle and have it excel in every performance field, whether its acceleration, weight (within reason obviously, as long as the weight doesn't get in the way or holds me back), handling, grip and whatever else.
I know this sounds childish; "Me want big muscle, me want me stronger than everybody else, me want be big boi, smORC", but I have a cancerous inferiority complex and if there's somewhere I'm going to be beat especially after shoveling a lot of money into something I might just kms.
Is it possible for a classical muscle with however much work needed, be able to just fucking rape anything in any performance field until you get to actual super car shit, or should I just get a Modern mustang and soup that.
Help me /o/ I'm scared

Well, now most classic muscle cars in the states either have bent or broken frames, or are so far gone, its not worth fixing. If you have the choice, try buying from overseas, especially Australia. But, there are still some nice, ratty muscle cars over here, so I'd just look everywhere, and see if anything you love pops out.

cheaper to buy yourself a bungie cord thats 5m too long

But what about all the others stuff I mentioned? Is it realistic to expect that I'll be able to turn whatever I get into something that will not only rip down the expressway but to handle a corner like an EVO or an STI Would? And at the same speeds?

It would be possible. Difficult, but possible. Were talking new anti roll bars, springs, shocks, dampers, tie rods, the whole 9 yards.

>while giving it a ratty look
Never going to get it.

Don't care what I have to do as long as I can put an STI, EVO, or any modern muscle in the dirt

At that point, just buy a Ute. They are cheap, useful daily's, and are in the states. Besides, they can get scarily fast.
