the best, low cost, way to get into brackt racing is prolly a thirdgen. there are a million early thidgen z28's, t/a's, and other V8 models all over the place.
hardtop vs t-top, not that important unless you plan on going really really fast some time soon. since t-top cars are much more common, there would be no real reason to go hunting around specifically for a hardtop car that won't have any helpful performance advantage.
jsut look for a car in good shape that is a factory V8 + automatic car. the less converting you have to do to get what you want the better, so if you plan to build a stronger carb'ed motor, save some money and get an 87 or earlier model that already has a carb. if you get a later car, it is jsut more work on top of the extra $$$$ you spend on the pruchase.
