Well, if you've got the money, go big or go home. Haha. What's your budget? That's a good start. and pics of the s10 would be nice.

Well first grab a civic, (I'd say 92-99 cause im not a fan of pre 1992 and this range are lighter than the newer one) pick up a k20a jdm engne or a k20a2 rsx type s engne and boost it if you got the cash. If u want to spend a little less go b series and definitely boost it, But like what was previously stated we need to know your budget and power goals.

if you've got that kind of money, don't worry about boosting it. it's not as durable as compared to if you were to supercharge it. it's a little more expensive, but lasts longer. either way, good luck with your future build.

66true, I was just going with his statement of "build a ride to hang with the mustangs" cuz im assuming he means GT's not v6's so boost would definitely be the way to go. But supercharging a k20 would def be more reliable and get him up there as well so your right
