[bismarksinker]

[serpentine fire]

70 Chevelle

[Zach]

Yea there are too many to name. I do like the Chevelle, it's a pretty awesome car. I like the later 60's Mustangs and Corvettes also.

[bismarksinker]

i have owned a chevelle since i was twelve, i inhereted it from my uncle who died of old age, he was so cool, and we both loved cars, i have no where to put it though, because i rarely drive it and when i do its too a car show, but it still kicks ass

[driverfound]

i love gto and mustangs. especially 1967 shelby gt500

[Red300ZX]

'73 RS Z28 in particular, i'll send pics if anyone wants to see it

Besides that, classic vettes(although I do like the new ones too), 60's Camaros and Mustangs, Hemi 'Cuda's

[disturbed2]

old corvetts are always going to be better looking than the new ones, they are all similar except 4 the names.

[Bob Palindrome]

A lil top list here:


MOPAR - 1970-1971 Dodge Coronet (T/A, R/T, Superbee)
MOPAR - 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner
GM - 1970-1971 Chevrolet Cevelle (SS 454)
MOPAR - 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona


Indeed. :)

1971 Dodge HEMI Challenger R/T

Engine: 426 Cubic Inches

425 HP @ 5,000 RPM
490 LB-FT @ 4,000 RPM

Transmission: 3-Speed

TorqueFlite Automatic
4-Speed Manual (optional)

Production: 296

Hardtop :: 287
Convertable :: 9

Performance:

0-60 :: 5.8 Seconds
1/4 Mile :: 12.95 @ 106.5 MPH

The R/T was the top performance lineup for the Challenger in 1971, and the 426 cubic inch HEMI was the most powerful engine offered by Dodge. Dodge outfitted the HEMI Chqallenger with thicker torsion bars, stout front anti-roll bar, and thicker rear springs. The Dana 9-3/4 limited slip rear was standard to absorb the punishing torque generated by the HEMI. After 1971, the HEMI was discontinued and was never offered in another Dodge production automobile.

1967 Plymouth GTX-SUPER COMMANDO,1973 DODGE CHARGER SE,And a Dart Swinger w/ a 318 iz fun in winter,of course the f*ckmobile-77 Dodge van Tradesman 200 w/ red woolly carpet everywhere!!!!

[proff sphincter]

dodge charger. always. if it was good enuff for bo duke its good enuff for me.

thing is tho, a detroit big lump...v8, lots of cc, they rev quite slow but have a high torque range. a small 2 litre japanese car with a very high revving engine, light wieght chasis and plastic wings will always go 0-60 faster. power to weight you loe out on muscle cars. plus drum brakes were standard on most of them on the front wheels fuck driving that in the wet!!

[Metal Head]

My favorite is my 1967 Chevelle. 408= 396 bored .060, 12.5:1 compression, 581 lift 305 duration Compitition Cams, 4-speed, 4:11 posi..OH YEAH!!!!!

[tim18182]

[Metal Head]

0-60 is a function of HP/Torque, traction and weight. Saying that a small japanese car will always reach 0-60 faster is totally incorect. Do you know how many Japanese cars I beat to 60mph all the time? granted I dont' have a big block, but I still got a v-8 (350cc)

LOL you're so dumb, I can't see how you can breathe. How does "revving slow" equate to bad 0-60 times? Just because the little tach goes up faster, speed must also, right? ;) Bahahahahahaha.......All larger engines, built by japs or not, rev slower because displacement is a factor of bore and STROKE. Stroke of the crank, as in length. A longer stroke means it's harder to rev as high. BUT, hp = Torque/RPM * 5250...............Small engines rev high, but don't make torque.................so it all evens out. A low 0-60 is a result of power to weight, with traction and gearing. LOL I BET THE "PLASTIC WINGS" ALSO HELP. All old cars had shitty brakes, so I don't get what you mean there. Today they make kits for updated brakes and suspension that work well. My slug '78 Trans Am bone stock still outran "high revving japanese cars" at the track, which was pathetic. My pile had 180 hp and about 320 TQ because of emission shit on the car and how overall detuned it was. Torque was what kept that thing going. Then I dropped a full second in the 1/4 with just an exhaust system lol. That's how bad it was, and it still beat modded honduhs. Now I have another, low revving pos on my hands with my LS1. Damn 13 sec quarter miles and 160 mph top speed stock, I wish I could rev higher. :(

[reptilian_storm]

Corvette Stingray, being a brit im not sure if it falls in the muscle car catagory but its a dam fine looking thing!

HONDA Helping Out Nips Destroying America. You go ahead and put all the 2 liter plastic cars with plastic wings and neon lights with stickers that MUST add horsepower when it says honda racing team and NOS and SUPER STREET with a little atomic symbol in the middle all over you want into a real drag race even up north of me in Pueblo Colorado where we race where there are FEW cars too far from stock and we will see how many Jap cars win.....0!!!!! Its sooo stupid my friend built a 1972 El Camino its a big old boat weighing about 3500 Lbs making around 325 HP at the rear wheels and about 375 at the flywheel with a 350 bored .40 over goin on 3 sumthin gears and no posi or anything in the rear end runnin in the high 15's. hes spent maybe $2000 on the car TOTALLY from purchasing the car to rebuilding the Trans (TH350 w/ B&M shift kit) and he DESTROYS ricers that spend $30,000 just to BUY the car! ricers are ridiculous you rice boys need to go away and quit causing us REAL car people trouble. Especially since most of you couldnt tell a rear end from a horses ass. Signed Justin

1968 Shelby Mustang GT-500 KR (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15092&stc=1)

"KR" stood for "King of the Road" - a name that was supposedly taken from General Motors. The GT-500 KR used Ford's new Cobra Jet GT engine opposed to the 428 ci engine used in the the '67 and '68 GT500's. The 335-hp claimed by Shelby is most likely a gross understatement. The number given by Shelby was to lower insurance costs. A total of 933 GT-500KR fastbacks were produced along with 318 convertibles.

[jasonwc]

i love gto and mustangs. especially 1967 shelby gt500

dude i hate to say it but that ass hole carol shelby is buying up all the gt500s and turnging them into Elanors... He is ruining beutiful cars...

[jasonwc]

1979 Trans Am , don't forget the bad bird!!!

and the fact that GM recieved huge ass fines for not going with regulated emmisions...
2 times in history when F-bods where faster than mustangs
76-69 (as mentioned above)
94-98 (received more fines for not having up to emisions)

[jasonwc]

you say your buddy runs 15's with 2000 dollars in upgrades and you say no jap car can beat him yet a stock 300zx na runs around 14.25 if the driver is good (by the way an na in good cond ition doesn't cost any 30,000 dollars it actually about 8g's).
dumbass there are many jap cars that can beat 15's shit i could get my little brother to kick his ass on his bike.

[shade]

Stingrays with 454s.

That is one fucking sweet car. I'm not a big muscle car guy so ive never seen it. You have converted me by making that car into my "realistic" dream car list. sorry bout the double post.

Try a stock turbo 300ZX for 14s..........The naturally aspirated ones are 15 second pigs...........They were also very expensive when they were new, along with the 3000GT and other high end imports when they were new on showroom floors.

[AjaxtheGoat]

I can't decide between:

The 66' GTO

The 69' Charger

The 70' Roadrunner

I once was going to buy a 69' Charger that ran perfectly for $2500, I had a contract and a reserve down payment. I was going to buy it the following Thursday; but, I recieved a call Wednesday and the seller informed me that the person he bought it from bought it on a lean and it had to be taken away. I was heartbroken.

Oh Yeah does anybody else consider Mustangs (Coupes that is) to be the Civics of the 60's? I.E: Everyone has one and they all think that their fast.

'66 Shelby AC Cobra S/C. Blue w/ white stripes.

[imfastrnu2]

1967 Shelby Cobra :D

[Hard2bHumble]

The 69 Buick Skylark GS of course. I wish I could find the poster I saw online once. It had all the cars you all are mentioning and the GS was out in front leading them.

[Noles]

The Mustang Mach 1 is the best muscle car available. My favorite year is the 71.

[Hawkhead11]

The top is by far the '67 GTO, but the new one sucks ass!

[Smurfy-v2.0]

Road runner or a 428 shelby cobra

67 malibu SS. Its my dad's car :)

Dodge Charger 1969 R/T, but I would prefer the ones with the nose inbetween the front.
