they're making new camaros in 06' or 07' and the corvette and viper can be called american muscle. I could say that the mustang gt 500 is a sports car.

WRONG! the Corvette and Viper are classified as sports cars they have 2 seats and 2 doors making them a Sports car, GT500, Mustang, Camaro, GTO, etc... are Muscle cars, the premise behind the Muscle car is a simple formula, High HP engine, 2 doors, 4 seater, RWD affordable car. Muscle cars started life as cheaper coupe versions of large Sedans and then they started throwing larger and larger engines into them eventually spawning their own cars. The Corvette and Viper are designed as race cars never evolving from a different car they started life as a sports car and will end life the same way.

07 is your time, but watch they but the same LS1 it died with back in. That would be hilarious. Also are you regrowing your mullet, and trying to fit back into your white leather jacket, and looking for those old Motly Crue, and white snake CDs? :wink:

tigerx 09-20-2004 09:22 AM

i think davide meant F150 lol.

number77 09-20-2004 05:26 PM

the 5th gen will not get a ls1. it will get a strong engine. and a few months after the release there will be a big suprise. This one will get a bigger engine (not a stroked or bored over, and totally different engine). (So the top of the line camaro will take the base corvettes). also the C z06 will put a very big impression on everyone. if you don't like that car, your just plain stupid. :D
