This, it is my dream car. My dad had one back in his younger days and got rid of it.

That inline 6 was bullet proof, but had 0 hp.


It came from the factory rated at 120 hp. For comparison purposes that is about 12 less than a 2016 Corolla.

I would still take the Mustang though.

60s cars were crap, other than styling.


500+ HP, AC that doesn't come apart at higher RPMs, ABS, carbon ceramic brakes, and can get around a corner.

I would take a C7 Z06 over any muscle car that's ever been built, although it probably classifies as a track car at this point.

For a real muscle car, Buick GSX

It's a great car, but I easily see 10 a day when ruins the appeal for me.

I 'm seeing the price on some of these older 911's range from 40 to 130's.

Good lawd


5yrs ago most were half the price, all air cooled 911's are currently in a bubble.

Close, but the 426 Hemicuda is the correct answer. If a six to seven figure muscle car is not an option, late model Mustang or Camaro.

Newer bc they are safer


That's part of the thrill, no nanny controls....you actually have to drive these cars.

Driving a new GTR... it was quick but incredibly sterile.

There is only one true muscle car.

Chevelle. I'll take one with a 396.
