Built Stroker: 1973 Mercury Comet GT

If the Ford Maverick is the little known step brother of the Mustang, then it's cousin the Mercury Comet is even more obscure.  The Comet GT trim level was the muscle car trim package that upped the ante with the 302 V8 engine.  These cars were originally conceived as import fighters, but in reality duked it out for sales with the Chevy Nova and Dodge Dart...and they make a nice platform for a V8 cruiser today.

Lots Of Engine: 1993 Chevy Corvette 383

If you like the 1980's styling of the C4 Corvette, the later 1992+ cars are appealing because of the more powerful LT1 engines and nicer interiors.  The LT1 V8's don't get a ton of love now nowadays because of the LS series of engines, but they are still capable of putting down respectable amount of horsepower.  A stock 93 Vette is a quick car, but today's feature should seriously move out as it has been enhanced in good ways.  The best part of the C4's is the amount of dollars needed to enjoy this level of thrust.  Find this 1993 Chevy Corvette for sale in Tucker, GA for $7,400 via craigslist.
