What would you want for a classic muscle car?
None of this old Japanese shit
I'm talking true American muscle.

Muscle cars are garbage

How/why?

this
dont have many redeemable traits

I still like the smaller V8 cars tho

As you can already tell, Veeky Forums considers traditional muscle cars to be overblown pigfat boomer trash because we can't afford them. We have "pony cars" instead like pic related. There's probably little distinction in your mind at this point but you'll soon learn the difference.

3rd gen Camaro, late 60s/early 70s Charger or Mustang. Those are the best-looking, so that's what I'd want for a proper muscle car.
I'd go for a modern Mustang if they did it in european trim levels, because they've got it handling like a car and not a brick on a rollerskate.
But a muscle car is MEANT to be too big and stupid and inefficient and handle badly. Isn't it?
What's the point of them if they aren't awful?
I mean, I wouldn't DD them. That's just stupid. I have a proper car for that.

Just because your mother-in-law weighs 500 pounds doesn't make your 300 pound wife skinny.

I'm a bit of an oddball. I love American cars, but I also like high revving engines, so I generally happen to like the smaller engines or the destrokers.

If I went GM, I'd probably pick a second gen F-body. Engine would be a 302 destroker (ala 67-69 Z28. 350 block with a 283 crank) for the high revving special snowflake points. suspension would be all pro-touring including a Heidts IRS, and a 6 speed manual swap.

If I went Mopar, it would probably be a 340 powered Plymouth Duster/Demon/Barracuda with pro touring suspension and a 6 speed manual.

If I went Ford, it'd be a mid-60's Falcon with a built 302, pro touring Mustang suspension, and a 6 speed stick.

I haven't decided what I'd do for an AMC yet. Haven't looked into their aftermarket support for this kinda stuff
