    American Muscle or Japanese Rice?

    Post your favorite type of car and why.

    I like american muscle because we have a muscle car in the family ( no joke )

    67 Camaro RS/SS
    383 ( 350 bored over )
    Aluminum heads, Roller Rocker Arms, Roller Cam
    Holley Carb, High Rise intake manifold, Racing Crank,
    Fluid Damper, Torque Converter, Racing pistons
    Racing Transmission

    All this adds up to around 400+ on the back wheels and this is w/out the nos

    Weve won two car shows with it to ( its not mine either, my dads )

    i'm muscle all the way. i love Mustangs, Camaro's, corvettes, and trans am's and most any otherm uscle car. i currently own an '89 mustang which i love, and when i move i plan on buying either a newer (liek a 93) GT mustang, or a z28 Camaro, as i really like the look of camaro's, and for the price are a steal. my dream muscle car, however, is a 1965 (red of course) Mustang, i'd basically love to steal the one that the AO member "HEAT" has, it really is a beautiful car in the pics he's posted. so in conclusion: GO DOMESTICS!!!!

      I will be the first one to admit (with no shame) that I am a fan of low-cost foreign cars. While I understand that they won't really hold up against more expensive American muscle cars, they pack a great bang for their buck.

          I like modern and fast. American muscle cars dont fall into both catagories. Some imports do, or to word it better, some imports have the potential to. I also love all the high class european cars.

          But old finicky american cars? No thanks.

            I like both! I love my uncle's 68 stingray and I loved the Japanese sports cars for the 1990's. BUT, I will always hate ricey cars. I know you mean Japanese imports but you shouldn't reffer to all Japanese cars, good or bad, as rice. Rice cars = immitations of real Japanese sports cars!

                        I prefer the LBC's (Little British Car) or other european classics. I'm in the market for an early 70s Porsche 911, a mini, and have a 1973 MGB/GT.

                        ...and I have a truck to tow it when it breaks down.

                            There is only one american muscle car that does fall into modern and fast, the Corvette. They still don't have porche interior quality but its still nice. And they are still faster than almost anything under $300,000 (well the Z06 is). The Corvette 6 is commint out in a two years and it is going to be alot nicer, and alot faster. The base engine is going to put wout around 400 hp versus the current 360 hp. The Z06 will follow two years after the base C6, which will probally put out around 450hp but nothings for sure yet.
