Probably a 69 Camaro SS or an 87 Buick Grand National. Also a big fan of the 95 Chevy Impalas with the LT1.

'95 Imapala SS with the LT1 is a sweeeeet car. My older brother had one about 8 years ago and it was so fun to drive, especially since most people were shocked at how well it could "get up and go". The dummy had to sell it a few years ago to pay off outrageous credit card debt. Some people have to learn the hard way...

Just about any late 60's early 70's American Muscle car for me. Lambo Countach is still ahead of it's time in styling.

When I retire and have a house with a garage I'm gonna get me one of those cobra kits and build me one. I wonder if I can mod it to run a transverse mounted L67 with a 4T65EHD tranny? You didn't think I was serious about the L67 set up? no way in heck I'd disgrace that car with FWD. I'll have to find a Ford 427 to put in it. The only way to go.

Anyways, if you have 2 chevelles (one 70, and one 71) that are indentical (ie: 454SS) the 70 will be faster, as they had 4 barrel carbs and 71s only got 2 barrel. Im not 100% sure on this, but my dad had a 70 Malibu (base model chevelle) and a friend of his had a 71. His was a little bit faster. Anywho... my dream car would be either a 68 or 69 corvette with the L88 427, 06 (or even 02-04) Corvette Z06, of Ferrari F50

I don't think the 1971 Chevelle came with a 427 option. I know they still had the LS5 454 but got rid of the LS6. I know the 1969 COPO Chevelle had the L72 427 though.

Whoops, my bad. Didn't catch the first sentence of that before I typed the last message. Personaly I like the the 70 better because I don't care too much for the lights on the corners. Either way I'ld take a 67-71 Chevelle over almost any other car.

T-Bat, you should photoshop my Grand Prix with T-tops. I think that would look pretty sweet.

Besides a finely tuned, slightly modified Dodge ram with a firm cummings turbo that tears up ricers on the strip. I'd say a muscle car. I think that if you go by the muscle car idea that the largest engine should be put in the smallest body then the Yenko 427 Nova tops all, but that is just one formula for an ultimate muscle car. I'm sure others in this forum think differently than I do...

427,428,429, either or. I like the 429 boss, too rare though for my pocket, so i'd skip for the biggest. The 460 the larger version of, and interchangeable with, the 429 "truck" engine. Thats sticking with the Ford.

Hmmmmmmmm... That would be a long list. 67 Charger with Hemi, 69 Daytona Charger with Hemi, 71 Cuda Hemi convert with 4 spd pistol grip, 63 Corvette Split window coupe, 58(?) gull wing Mercedes, 87 GNX, 05 supercharged Crossfire, and a Tucker for starters.
