Best American Muscle Car?

[AGGAMEMNON66]

American cars - All superficiality and no substance.

Foreigners -all dirt faced 3rd worlders who have their faces pressed against the outside windows of America hoping to get a glimpse of what a great life actually looks like.



Fucking peasants lol

They don't even make cars that hit 200+ now.

Yes they do.

What are you talking about.

 

[GhostZ06]

I will agree with the Vette but not the Viper. No one thinks about Vipers when muscle cars are brought up. Most people are picturing classic cars when you add the word ‘muscle’


And imo, the Vette doesn’t belong in that conversation but I acknowledge people think of it. The Vette is a sports car. A Chevelle, GTO, Challenger.. those are ‘muscle cars’

I still think the Corvette pre 76 are still muscle cars. IMO Still driven by men.

Sorry this is subject for men.

In the late 90’s in Muscle Mustangs and fast fords magazine(or was it in ford power?) there was a story in one that was awesome.

Was about a guy with the last V8 Mustang on the planet and the government hunting him down to take it.

I don’t have the hard copy anymore and it’s not online anywhere that I can find.

But it was a great story.

My favorite Ford of all time is the 93 Cobra.

@jefferz showed me this Car. Its rather sexual imo

As someone who has owned three V8 Camaros, I'm obviously going to be biased. But if we're talking old cars, probably the 70 Z-28 is my favorite.

As an aside, I was just at a car show in Escondido and a guy had a 68 Camaro with an LS3 engine dropped in it. Talk about awesome. I love me some numbers matching, but having a 426 horsepower modern small block in an old car is pretty great.

I've never thought of the Vette as a muscle car, always was a sports car imo.

Also love in a thread about MUSCLE Cars, most post pony cars and sports cars, not true muscle cars.

True muscle cars are Big Block Chevelles, gto’s, chargers not vettes, camaros and mustangs.

saying Mustangs and Camaros aren't muscle cars is rubbish you going to say Barracudas and Challengers aren't muscle cars either. Just because they are pony cars doesn't mean they wasn't also muscle cars. Look at the Yenko and COPO Camaros or the Boss 429, Shelby GT500, and the 428 Mach 1. Shit just the Mustang GTs starting in '67 came with a 390 and could get the 428 Cobra Jet the Camaro SS could come with a 396 and in '69 chevy had the 427 as a factory option those are big blocks.

Not really into American cars but gotta admit the old Dodge Charger looks awesome

That is a straight up super villain car.

1966 427 AC Shelby Cobra

Ford V8s, starting with 4.2 and 4.7 Mustang engines, in 1965, a 7-liter Ford engine was squeezed in.


Shelby wanted the AC Cobras to beat its rival Corvettesand at nearly 500 lb less than the Chevrolet Corvette, the lightweight roadster accomplished that goal at Riverside International Raceway on February 2, 1963. Driver Dave MacDonald piloted CSX2026, one which Shelby in 1964 fitted with a larger Ford FE engine of 390 cubic inches (6.4 L), blew past a field of Corvettes, Jaguars, Porsches, and Maseratis and recorded the Cobra's historic first-ever victory. cite

As great as this car is, it's a pure sports car. The antithesis of what a muscle car is.
