No doubt right, I find myself more and more dreaming of a manual, high revving 600ish HP NA V8 car in a gutted light f body or mustang.
Gut the interior, delete the radio I'll listen to the engine. Roll up windows, manual locks don't care, Toss out the ABS, Airbags, and anything else that's not related to the engine or trans. Make it as light as possible with some great brakes and a good set of coilovers.
May not be the fastest thing on the road but manual, light, 8kish rpm.
600hp NA LS Fbody or 600hp NA Coyote in a 94-98 mustang would be great!
