Before I caught the 911-bug I was a complete American V8 freak and it just comes back to me now full force. There are just so many wonderful models to choose from.
Funny. I have told myself that the flat six engine sound is the best. Still, whenever I hear a classic American push rod V8 there is something almost physically moved inside of me. It just canīt be beat.

I had many of them, with my favorites being a 71 Olds 442 Coupe and a 71 Corvette Conv / 4 speed.
I am looking at getting another classic American convertible down the line. Just isn't practical right now to store and insure two toy cars. G |

That 'cuda has some serious talent evident in the body mods. There's probably 80 plus hours at least in the last 15" of that car's body...

I agree with Motion, and OWP about a Trans Am. The Bandit edition was srsly awesome, but personally, I've always thought that '74, and '75 had the best looking front end of them all. Even better than the '70-'73 with the big nostrils.
 I believe that also, '74 was the last year for a 455 Super Duty, and '75, the last year for a 455 altogether in an F body, but I'm not entirely sure about that...

So how tall is Hannah now? My grandson is about the same age as her, just saying.
What about a hot rod?

Wait, I forgot... '67 Chevelle. That was also a body style that looked pretty mean to me.

 This is the one I always wanted, 4sp Hipo 289 1965. That's the one I always wanted and that's the one I got. Traded a nice 944s for it. |

 Seriously, that car may have been cool before the retro new model came out. After that, I'd just buy that instead. G |

I saw that silver 'cuda with the big wheels on it. It is Joe Rogans car and is called the Sick Fish. It has a foolishly small gas tank on it and can only go about 100 miles without fuel.

I think that Cuda is awesome. Each to his/her own, I guess...Here's my Mustang. No Boss 429, but I like it.

I don't consider the corvette or Shelby muscle cars.

There is fast... and there is Oh God Wicked Fast.
Oh God Wicked Fast will elicit an instant automatic nervous system response, and perhaps a brown pants response as well.
