Default muscle cars

Anyone here have a favorite muscle car? I have always liked the Boss Mustang, and there was a cool Shelby Mustang replica in the movie Gone In 60 Seconds.

Sazar - that's not a Muscle Car, it's a "Jap Import"

Patriot, you have my vote - my favourite car of all time is the old Barracuda, love them Also I'm a big fan of Pontiac Firebirds, as is my sisters boyfriend who is looking to buy one in the near future.

This has always been my favorite. 1966 Corvette 427 Rodster.





What bugs me is that one of my cousins has pristine red orange one with white racing stripes.

I must say, after my recent experience (another story), I might try a Jap Import on my next purchase. One thing's for certain, I won't go back to the dealer I last went to.

Well carry on

Well the Cuda, is one of my favorites. I also have a thing for Camaro's. I used to own a '86 Camaro, I was going to put a custom built 396ci engine in it with a Vortch Supercharger at 12lbs of boost. That baby would have put 430Hp to the wheels with 370 lbs of torque.

I can't wait till I can build that car again.
