Muscle Cars

Hello, I'm new here, and I'm dedicating my first post to muscle cars. Whether it be a Chevorlet Chevelle SS, a Camaro, a Pontiac GTO, Mustang, or whatever, these cars have a lot of horsepower. Thery're quite rare today in the New Car market, and they're fun to drive, except they're quite lacking in the handling department.

Do you have an opinion on them, and/or have a favorite?

I love muscle rides! They have that unique 'badass' look I like 8) Ofcourse, they also have lots of torque and horsepower, and after seeing some of them throwing on back wheels --> OMG!

My favorite is the Dodge Charger -->

Gotta love muscle cars 8) They are good for drag racing and are awesome looking machines. My favorite would have to be a 67 Mustang.

Well then you are an ignorant fool :P j/k

I love all muscle cars, but my fav is the 1971 Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III.
In 1971 it was the fastest four door in the world :D And it can go around corners :D

viper, charger and corvette i love.

the new mustang is amazing, i wasnt a fan of the whole 80s-90s mustangs. GTO is nutty and the el camino sure looks nice.

Youve clearly never been near RAF/USAF Mildenhall and Lakenheath, that place is like little America. On another note, my boss at work is currently selling his Supra, possibly for a GT350 clone.

I personally love the 69 Camaro ZL-1, 430bhp of pure sex. Only 69 ever made, and 11s stock. ;)

I dig the Plymouth Superbird. Partially just because I'm a Mopar fan, but also because the Superbird seems to epitomize the muscle car. Big, fast, and rediculous, but impossibly cool.

Also, it's actually a muscle car. I'll admit I'm getting a little anal-retentive here (as all of the cars mentioned do share in a bit of the muscle spirit, having the power and brutality and all), but a muscle car, by definition, is a midsize car with a full-sized engine. To be a muscle car entails a fair bit of interior space. Cars like the Corvette or Viper are sports cars, and cars like the Mustang or Camaro are pony cars (so named for the Mustang).

Yeah I like Super birds too, but they handle like a bucket of shiznit :lol: (thanks GT4)

Also, I just realised that probably no-one here knows what a GTHO looks like, so here's a pic:

Yeah, I'm not surprised the Superbird's handling sucks, but then again, don't most muscle cars have craptacular handling (perhaps the Australian ones excepted)?

The stingray is alright, but it doesn't have that look of the Z06. Especially if it's orange with black tribal vinyls on it.
