I was coming down my road and as i was crossing this roared past me. Im not sure if it was a replica, but oh god it was amazing and sounded gorgeous!!!

 

I will own one of these one day, i WILL i tell Thee!!!

 

What other proper muscle cars do you guys like?

 

I have always been a stag fan and a vette fan, but never liked the Plymouth and such...

A friend of mine in LA has a new Mustang GT. It's a beast. Also, last year me and the GF drove across the US and we hired a Mustang convertible for the job. It was only a 4.0 V6 jobbie as that's all Hertz had, but it still did the job (and I still managed to get caught speeding by a North Carolina state trooper). The Zed is much quicker than the V6 'stang imo. Was a pleasure filling the fuel tank up from empty every time for like 18 quid though!!

 

As for my fav muscle car, I love the Trans-Am Firebird. Smokey and the Bandit Styleee!! Yeah!!

We hired a Mustang Covertible in LA earlier this year. Also a 4.0 V6 but I was plesently surprised how good it was. I'd love a Shelby GT500.

 

As for the Vette. I was very interested in a Z06. 500bhp and a 7.2 litre V8, but was very dissapointed with the build quality. No where near as good as a Mustang.

 

There's also the issue of LHD. Not good on a performance car.

Was a great trip Tim. Can't really remember how much it cost but I'm sure it was around the $400 mark for a week with insurance included. An absolute bargain if you think about it. :thumbs:

Actually, it may have been a lot more than $400, I honestly wasn't counting. That whole trip cost a fortune. Definitely worthwhile though.
