American Muscle our Foreign Turner

[Missourian]

In my youth, it was all American Muscle...but today, with computerization, the tuner gives muscle a run for it's money.

So, which side of the great debate do you come down on?

 

[Sunni Man]

Nothing beats the visceral feeling of an American muscle car big block.

Being pinned back against your seat; tires smoking; and the vibration from the motor coursing through your body; as the headers exhaust assaults your ears and the deep low sound numbs your mind.

Next best thing to sex!!

Oh yea!!

 

[Mad Scientist]

An American V-8 with modern electronics to squeeze all the performance out of it!

 

[Oddball]

Third option.

I go for ass haulers like the Sunbeam Tiger...Euro designs with Detroit V8 power.

Kind of a reverse on the P-51 with the Merlin, I guess.

RAWWWWRRRRRRR!!

 

[Mr. H.]

I'm too old for this.
Happy with my Avalon.

the air turbo charged 540hp Trans Am is one of my fav stock cars.

I had a Chevy Nova SS with a 396 4 on the floor when i was in high school.

Ported and bored out to about a 427.

That baby hauled ass

I do have an older RX7 that we're fixing up it's just as fast as my old chevy and the acceleration is better but it doesn't compare to the feel and sound of my old chevy

i used to rebuilt alot of roadsters and sports cars. Triumph Spitfire, X's, Spiders. Man it was great when you get a rebuilt motor installed for $250.00. Then I would sell them to Okla.Univ. students.

I've driven Ford Pickups all my life... Different years, but always nearly the exact same configuration...inline 6 cylinder (240 or more recently 300 cid), early 3 in-the-trees, 4 speeds with dual mule granny low, and today c4, c5, c6 and AOD (pos) automatics .

After 20 years of dedication to this one make, model and engine, I'm pretty sure I can take it apart and put it back together in my sleep...but even after all these years, there are few experiences as satisfying as the sound of the first start-up of a fresh rebuild.

I'm mostly for American Muscle. But Jap Imports are restricted nowadays because of that gentlemen's law, so they need to be modded first.

Jap Imports can go SCARY fast when modded, it would be hard to tell if it can do better than American without a 10-20 mile straight road thats good quality. There are imports that have done 230+ at the standing mile.

And introducing the American car that knocked Bugatti on it's ass, forcing them to redesign their veyron for an additional 200 HP, the SSC Ultimate Aero.

American muscle. That's why I spend most of my Saturdays bracket racing at the drag strip. See very few imports at those events.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Muscle. I have a 4600lb car that runs 12's in the 1/4 mile, on DOT tires and through mufflers, with the wheelcovers in place.

American muscle died years ago. Its only a fairy tail now.

Wow, you couldn't buy a clue if you won the lottery!

Note: you can walk into a dealer TODAY and drive out in a legit 200MPH Corvette!

But thats not American. Its Mexican you retard, thats where they make them last I looked. And I doubt seriously the horse power listed for that piece of shit. The 200 HP is nothing more then a ploy to market that Mexican trash to middle age men with cock envy.

Had a '69 Mustang fastback with a stock 429 tuned to perfection when I was 15-16, rolled it. Throw you back in the seat from 70 mph.
Had an S2000 from 1999 to 2010. Probably the most 'perfect' driving experience. Fast as Hell. Had to keep the RPMs 5000+. Wife trader her in for her wheels.
Now I get to drive the Miss's E350 when lucky. If you know how to handle her that thing will fly like a bandit in and out of traffic.
I just got a dirt bike so I can try to break my neck and not have to worry about the rules.

You will have more fun with the dirt bike any way. I am pinching every penny to save for one.

Did you "look" with a plastic bucket over that hat rack on your shoulders? Corvettes are built in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and have been for thirty years now. (Before that, most were built in St. Louis. They were never built in Mexico.) You fail utterly in all respects.
