10acboy Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I have always wanted a 69 Camero. A tricked out 350 or 400 under the hood and the rest of the car back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... Since this is a wish list...it can be anything...mine would be a '69 Yenko camero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... 70 Boss Mustang and I really like the old Mopars-68 GTX,69 ChargerR/T,70 340 Cuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... Since we are dreaming, my vote is for Zora Duntov's creation, the L-88 Corvette. I like the 1968 version that James Garner used to race. The aluminum 427 cid motor that was modestly rated at 425 hp. If thats not an option I guess I could settle for a 69 ZL-1 Camaro.

wishinone Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... It would be the Shelby Cobra (sports car not Mustang) the vettes couldn't touch them when they came out in the 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buck Magnet 007 Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... AMEN Snapper. 69 Yenko Camaro. Does it get any better than that? I would say the closest competition would come from a ZL1 Chevelle. The Cuda's are sweet too, same with the Shelby's, Firebirds, Superbirds, Chargers, GTO's, Vettes, heck, any muscle car is an amazing piece of worl. But, the 69 Yenko Camaro and the COPO Camaro's come out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... I would have to say the 1969 Camaro Z28 with the "Little Giant Killer" 302 or the 1970 Chevelle SS withthe 454. They would run and there wasn't much that would run with them. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... I would love to have my old 68 Comaro SS 396 back. I had the engine bored, balanced and blue printed, with a full racing cam. Come to think of it, the cost was excessive but it sure was fun to drive around. Thought I was impressing the girls, but they just thought I was crazy. Those were the days......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not positive (don't feel like looking it up right now) but I believe the split window was a '63. Pretty positive its older than a '69.

shotupdeer Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... Ok, its technically not a muscle car, but there are a few that have over 1000 hp and are capable of 200+ mph. For a "muscle" car, I would have to pick The Judge. [ 05-03-2003, 11:54 PM: Message edited by: shotupdeer ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buck Magnet 007 Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... O yes, a Nissan GTR-S V-Spec Skyline. Actually, factory, they have about the same exact performance as a standard C5 Vette. The price tag is the difference considering that you could get two C5 Vettes for the price of one of these skylines, and still have some money left over. They are nice cars though.

shotupdeer Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... You can get one imported by Motorex for approx $90k. I saw this video of one in Japan tuned by Top Secret doing over 200mph in a tunnel. Amazing how a 6 cylinder car with tons of cash thrown at it can go that fast.

AJ Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Re: Muscle Car... The "ricers" are temporary hot rods. The sewing machine motors they heavily modify to get teh high horsepower do not last as they need extremely high RPM to get there. High RPMs kill motors. If you dyno a tricked out ricer and do it again after 50K miles, there is a huge delta in the readings. Now compare the same thing with a big V8 and its like the battery bunny, it keeps going and going and going. Theres no replacement for displacement. They want $90K for a ricer?! Check out Lingenfelter Performance Engineering . They are doing some outrageous stuff on new American cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
