Those are fucking awesome.

Like the Malibu/Century/Pontiac-thing sedans and wagons that everyone turns into drag racers and hot rods now because they're cheap, RWD, fairly small and light, and you can stuff big honkin V8's in them!

But hatchback!!!! +9999999 Jalop points!

If I were to buy this and build it I think I might go with a 3.8 supercharged but not sure they can go RWD.

I dont think I am confident or emotional mature enough to withstand the prospect of driving this thing daily and taking girls out in it.

My buddy has one of these. In shit brown. With a white vinyl roof. They look like hatchbacks in person, but they're just weirdly-trunked sedans.

The supercharged V6s were, to my knowledge, never used in a RWD application. The N/A ones were used in the 4th gen Camaro's and the superchargers are very easy to come by, so still definitely a thing you should do.

yes. I was wondering if those camaro versions were the same.

Here is my hypothetical build

1979 Buick Century

3.8 Supercharger

T56 Manual 6 speed

Fat disc brakes all around

throw a catalog of suspension parts at it

leave everything else alone

CRUISE!

God that would be fucking awesome. Keep the exterior as stock as possible too.
