Favourite Muscle Car?

[DurangoBob]

Man, The Hemi is an unstoppable engine. Mopar claimed 425 HP, but that might have been with a 100 CFM 2bbl carb, christ. The only reason it had "425 HP" was so it could run in a lower class when drag racing. They did classes by HP per LB for drag racing out side of the NHRA (or whatever it was back then). I saw an article where a guy had dynoed a completely bone stock 2x4bbl carb set up. He could actually tie down the back of the charger it was in hard enough to not just spin his tires. He got a staggering 580 HP out of it. That is why Mopar was so dominant from the factory. They also way under "estimated" the 440's HP and tq. a 440 with a mild street cam upgrade and a pair of 4bbls with slicks, can lift the front end of a 69 GTX 2 ft off the ground. That is pretty crazy.

Mopar had the best muscle car engines. Chevy had some really good engines too. The 409 (my dad had one he had put in a 58 Impala, and it could haul), the 350 S/B is a good Pony Car engine, All the big blocks were pretty damn sweet! the 396 was a beast when it came out in the Malibu with 375 HP. The 427 was amazing, especially the L88. The L88s were one of the fastest engines stock, but i think the Hemi reacted better with major mods (cam, heads, and especially a blower)!

And all ford really had was the 428. The Shelby 427 used in the A/C Cobras doesnt count. The 428 was a pretty fast engine, but mustangs always got their shit kicked by Camaros.

for me anyway, its all about the 68' hemi charger, you cant beat a good old hemi. but on the other hand, i have to give some props to the goat for starting it all

Same here for the Superbird hemi_fan. Another car that I like is the Plymouth GTX, especially the '68 model. How about a Olds 455 H.O?

I love the Olds with the 455's, I actually almost got one as my first car. There was an unbelieveable deal on a 68 cutlass 455, but by the time i went to see it, it was already sold. But i probably wouldve never been able to afford the gas on a carbureted big block anyway.

I really love the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss. Of course I would love drive any car from the peak of the muscle car era. A Boss version of the new mustang would be awesome.
