5.0 Mustang. Love that motor and the sound it makes.

The Camaros have a better chassis and handle better, but if you want to supercharge then a Ford might be the way.
And I really like the TPI motors but they just aren't very moddable!
Also, the 3rd gen 350s were NOT available with a manual (if that is important to you, and this is not going to be purely a drag race car).
Yes, you could always swap in a TKO, or T56, or whatever, but it IS some work, and a good deal of coin.
