    wouldn't that be considered a tuner?

    just wondering.

    because carbs are easy and this is my first engine swap. I'm also full retard with anything electrical so I'm learning slowly. Plus you can't beat the sound of a V8 with a big cam.

    yep, i have yet to find a classic v8 that didn't sound good.

    This over any of those options, but if there were only those 4 to pick from I'd take the Challeneger. Derp stangs and Camaros are driven by mostly women and teenagers, and they think they're fast. The G8 is a sedan so I wouldn't consider it muscle even though it has an LS3 (although I have seen some pretty impressive G8s pushing over 600 horsepower with minimal bolt ons)

    I have worked on plenty of the Camaro models, 2010 and newer. They have plenty of power. And nice style. Not everyone likes the same thing. If they did, we would all drive identical cars.

    Of course while I did vote for the Camaro in this age-old thread, If I had my choice of anything it would be a tie between a 69 Camaro SS with a worked 383 Stroker, and a 1969 Mach1 428SCJ.

    Shelby is a mustang I guess, but that's apples to oranges when you talk about N/a vs forced induction

    SS camaro of these choices, although I think all muscle cars should be convertibles with manual transmissions.

    That Pontiac thing doesn't appeal to me at all even if it breaks the sound barrier. Blech

    I said mustang because it's in the poll, actually it says rustang. I don't think people who own one and I don't think shelby considers it a mustang, there is no mustang badging on it I don't think.

    While the Shelby does not have the Mustang badging, it is still a Mustang. Just like the ZL1 is still a Camaro. It is just a modified version.

    I still would much rather have an original Muscle car. Dream car is '69 Charger or '70 Challenger.

    Heh same here, I'd much rather drive an older muscle car than a new one.
