Actually I never really understood the term muscle car. Take the original GTO for instance, it ran like a high 14. Big friggin deal. I had an 82' 280ZX Turbo in high school and all my 5.0 driving friends loved to call it a rice mobile even though it would beat just about every 5.0 in my high school. I love fast cars, period. Why must people over classify things.
lol, your entire statement is pointless.all Muslcle cars may not start out fast but they damn sure have alot mor potential then you 280zx did. Also i highly doubt that your 280zx was a mid 14 second car, which is what the old 5.0 pulled. A muscle car in my opinion in an older car like 75'. Even though i sometimes call my car a muscle car in reality when people think muscle car they dont think of ls1's or lt1's or newer mustangs. I like all types of cars, if there fast then there fast period. I happen to like the look of the american cars better but that is just preference.
Oh yeah, this is just a random thing but i felt like saying it. A friend of mine who owns an ls1 also owns an early model talon AWD i think like a 92 or something, stock they are listed at i think low 15's or high 14's. he got a boost controller and a couple other cheap mods and that sucker ran a 12.89 at the track the other day, i was shocked as hell. Now, even though it isnt the pretiest car and its certainly isnt a muslce car it is still fast so i give respect where it is derserved.
