    Amen to the American muscle.......Corvette, Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang all roll of the tongue nicely. Mopar has some serious badassedness as well......Barracuda, Challenger, Charger. How could you not feel gooood driving something like that?

    Take Bullitt (One of my all time faves by the way :D) for example. Steve McQueen being chased in his '68 Mustang GT Fastback by the bad guys in a '68 Charger R/T? It just ooozes cool.

    Yeah I love it Dave, always gives me goosebumps. Love the whole drama and sounds........Seeing the Mustang appear in the rearview after they lose him,the seatbelt being buckled, the sudden takeoff from the Charger, McQueen speedshifting the Mustang and absolutely no talking.........Just old school Badass! :D

    See build thread in signature
    Aztek wasn't made up it's a slight twist (-c +k) for an ancient civilization. The name itself is actually good imo, the vehicle is one of the worst pieces of shit ever built though.


    Anyway, good name: Dodge Stealth (I might just be partial :p), Nissan Fairlady Z, Nissan Skyline, most of the exotics.

    Bad name: Kia Rio. I pick that one the most because.... honestly where's the party at... Rio is a party city after all. Let alone "KIA"
