each to their own anyways.

<sarcasm>Yeah compared to imports Muscle Cars are real attention whores. </sarcasm>

Oh wait, I've never seen the following in/on a Muscle Car:
1. neon lights
2. 20in chrome rims
3. asian lettering
4. giant subwoofers
5. 12in tach with shift light (usually mounted
6. body kit surrounding an entire car

I'm sure I could think of more, but I'm in a hurry.

Also, that noise you're hearing, it's not 'attention whore' it's '1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2'(Mopars Only).

As for interiors, I don't consider the inside of a cramped an plastic-ridden jap-box to be luxurious.

I'm a Mopar guy, and I'll take a 68 Charger R/T any day of the week!

I was watching TV last night and I saw the tail end of a show where the guy rebuilt a (what looked to be a 69 Super Bee) in a gorgeous charcoal color, the car was called "Hammer"

that is exactly what I want, a modernized muscle car, I think that would be so incredible! This car Hammer was just so freaking sweet, I totally loved it!

THE CLASSIC AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR

the 1971 Ford XY Falcon GTHO Phase 3, it was for a long time the fastest 4 door sedan in the world, the two years it ran in the ATCC it completed dominated it's class, the only time that car has done this since was 1991-92 with the GTR R32.
the Phase 3 commands a price tag of over $150000 today, they are very rare, but it's well worth seeing one and hearing it, or even better dragging one like I have

In Australia it was 30yrs before it's perfomance figures where bettered by GMH the rival company.

Da Hamma episode on TLC was awesome...did you see last weeks when they took a 1966 Oldsmobile Tornado and converted it to a 1071HP RWD beast for Jay Leno? It was schweet!

I never did see that, but I know already I would have preferred the Hammer anyday over the Olds I love that body style! (B-body IIRC) That's a great show for sure!

 

[jjessico]

If it was a 69 Super Bee, you are correct in saying it's a B-Body.

All are what they are.....no BS.

SDC

WRX-STi, it is what it is....no BS.

Edit-Noise is noise. Too much is not a good thing. A loud fartcan exhaust is as annoying as a loud V8 roar. If I can hear it from inside my house it is too fvcking loud.

Mopar guy eh? Cool

I'm not an all out Ford guy, I like pretty much all performance cars, but I do :heart: the pony cars from the 60's to early 70's (Mustang II doesn't count ). I think TLC's Rides is the best show out there...not a fan of the 'bling' shows like MTV's Pimp-My-Ride. My favorite rebuilts so far on "Rides" were "The Flashback Fastback" and the "Shelby Super Snake"...both pony's of course

When it comes to muscle American Motors did alot with their three specials in 1969-71.

69' SC 360 Rambler (Scrambler)

70' Rebel "Machine"

71' SC 360 Hornet

Lean, sharp cars.

YUP, AMC were GREAT. My Javelin had a super T10 and Hurst Comp. plus out of a Rambler Scrambler, it also had disk brakes out of a S/C Rambler. (BTW: You are wrong about the engine size. The S/C and Machine both had 340 horse 390's in them.) At least after 69. In 70 they went to a "Dog leg" exhaust port which added 15 horses to the older 390. And as I recall, the 360 didn't come out until 71 or 72.

i own at 1967 camaro convertible. 327 3 speed.

still saving to finish it, interior is 90% done, just needs paint and a top.

 

[Stumps]

This is the rarest, most valueble Australian muscle car, had it been officially released it would still hold the title of the worlds fastest four door sedan.

THE 1972 FORD XA FALCON GTHO PHASE4

any one of the 3 remaining examples are valued at inexcess of $250000.
one day i will get to race against one...I hope

http://www.fouronthefloor.com.au/garage/phase4.html

the bottom photo shows all the GTHO falcon from left to right - 1969 XW GTHO (351 windsor, rated at 290hp) , 1970 XW GTHO PHASE 2 (351 cleveland, rated at 350hp), 1971 XY GTHO PHASE 3, 1972 XA GTHO PHASE 4

This is a rare 1975 Ford XB Falcon coupe "JOHN GOSS SPECIAL" it was released to comemorate his 1974 Bathurst win, only 400 were produced, they are powered by a 302cu Cleveland V8 producing 240hp, the block used is known as the "D BLOCK" it is very heavy duty with 4 bolts per main and can fetch upwards of $2000 per bare block.
My father has a 1979 Ford XD Fairmont powered by a heavily worked John goss special engine producing around 470bhp or a dynoed 380hp at the wheels.

Uh yeah, so all asian cars have those? Show me one asian car that comes like that.
asian cars != ricers
Dumbass...

The sound of a Muscle Cars engine = Heay Metal

A Japanese import = Abba

Muscle car = Loud heavy metal so the entire neighborhood can hear you when you're driving by.
Asian car = little/no noise

there is nothing better than the delicous rumble of hot V8 and if you have difficulty telling muscle cars apart then you shouldn't be looking in the first place

lol I love how people defend their tastes so religiously. I swear it's worse than christians saying you're going to hell for not believing in the same thing as them.
Lame... just lame..

 

[mesonw]

I love Dodge Chargers.

V8's are great, but then I also love twin-turbo'd jap cars.

No, but asian cars are 100% more likely to be ricers than muscle cars.

Thanks for calling me a dumbass, since you know me so well and can easily ascertain my intelligence level.

A muscle car or an asian car can be loud, it depends on the muffler(s). Here is where I should call you a dumbass, but I'll refrain.

If you read the threat you will note that I posted a ton of performance numbers as documented by auto publications, but you probably skipped that part.
