Default Combo of best arf/P60 threads

I know there is a thread about the best airframe for a P60 and I know there's a poll involving the best manufacturer. I am looking to combine the two. What is the best ARF warbird airframe (drop in the components and fly 100 flights without worry) that a P60 will push? Here are the criteria in order of importance to me:
1.) P60 must push it
2.) Warbird- deffinately partial to US warbirds, since I'm AD military. Even more partial to Air Force planes.
3.) Quality build
4.) good flight caracteristics- What fun is a jet that flies poorly?
5.) cost

Taking all those factors into consideration, please help me out.
A bit of background:
My P60 is presently in Tam's original F-16. I guess it would be serial number 1. The plane flies well, but at 18 lbs, the P60 has a bit of a hard time getting it up to speed. Also, with an unknown number of flights, the airframe is getting a bit old.
I love warbirds, not into sport jets, trainers, twin booms or anything like that. Tam's F-16 is my first turbine powered jet, but I've had other F-16s in the past. I'd rather have something other than a 16, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility.
I would LOVE to find an F-15, but no one makes a small enough airframe that I'm aware of- unless I aquire an additional P60...
Thanks in advance for the help.
