Default Favourite Muscle Car?

Post your favorite muscle cars of all time in this thread, heres mine:

My favorite muscle car of all time is the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird. This car was massive, but It had enough power for 5.5 0-60 and a top speed of approx. 180mph (what other car in 1970 could do that from the factory??). Its basically 1970 roadrunner with an aerodynamic nose and wing attatched. It was designed for Nascars ovals and dominated until it was banned from competition in 1971. Its main competitor on the track was the 1970 Ford Torino Talledega. The Superbird did not sell well in dealerships because It was considered to be way too radical of a design for the street. They often sat on lots for very long periods of time before being sold at discount prices. Today superbirds are commonly sold for over $200,000 and original Hemi Superbirds are usually closer to $300,000. Heres some pics (note. this is a 440 model)







Heres where I got the pics from. It has some sounds of the Engine, Horn, and also the Roadrunner theme song if ur interested. http://www.musclecarcalendar.com/steve_fp_home.htm[/b]

Well that car was built for one thing, and thats NASCAR racing. But i personally like the Plymouth HEMI Cuda over that. but my fav muscle of all time has to be the Pontiac Trans AM. 79 had to be the best year for it.

Nice choices all around. I personally like the 67 vette bodystyle better, but the L88 is an awesome engine! Charger R/Ts are also among my favorites.

My favourite muscle car is the 1969 ZL1 COPO Camaro.

BTW, the Lambo Muira and the Ferrari 365 Daytona both ran 180+mph top ends in 1970 - so the Italian - Domestic wars have been going forever...
