Oh hell, big block, large displacement, enough torque to pull Earth along for the ride... (insert Tim Allen grunt here!!!)
So yeah I like muscle cars... new and old, except the new Mustang... not my favorite, I would take an old Mustang, just not a new one. My first favorite car was the Corvette, and I will own one, one day. The one advantage you guys overlook when modding the simple design and low tech approach to engine design... it's cheap to mod, and there are more parts out there for Corvette's, Firebird's, Camaro's than you can even find. The price of a rebuild kit with stregnthened internals for a Chevy small block is a half to three quarters the price of a kit for one of our cars and they have twice as many cylinders! The price to get equal levels of performance of the motors... if you only want to worry about money... then your best bet is to mod americal muscle.
It wasn't until I got my Neon that I really started to respect the capabilities of a "little" four banger. Because the body is light and the engine so high reving. I was able to beat some late 80s Firebirds, Camaro's, and took some Mustangs... I was damn impressed with that little motor... and I've been working on 420As since.
