Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

im splittin hairs cause this is an arguement that me and my buds were havin the other night...and I just don't see how our car is any different the a GNX other then we dont have a turbo (forget the power difference)...a 5.0L mustang has 225 hp, thats a muscle car...so Im saying why wouldnt we be classified as muscle cars...and you cant say cause were not a v8 cause neither is the gnx

well i consider an american made (usually older, but not always) V8 two door car a muscle car... i would say we are the economical version of the real muscle car... which to me makes it a sports car...

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

the difference is this, when you pull up next to a gnx you go, OH ****, i might not want to **** with that. back in the day, same could be said for the 5.0 (and even the first few years of 4.6s since the only things that beat on them were lt1s for the most part)

unless its a heavily modded v6 fbody, nobody is going to say that to a bolt on car or stock.

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

and what beat up on us?

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

do i really need to make a list? give me a year range and ill give you one

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

and what beat up on us?

uhh... stock v8's, modded fourbangers, and... other new sixers

[LETZRIDE]

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

1996-02 cars only...my point is most of the cars you list can prolly beat up on the 5.0's as well, or 66 mustangs, or some of the older muscle cars as well

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

i would say the only true muscle car is a dodge viper. Only comes in manual, doesnt come with traction control, doesnt have all the fancy gizmos. What it does have is brute strength. and dead sexy looks

brute strength + sexy looks = muscle car

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

^ viper has a v10, disqualified!

[LETZRIDE]

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

no...viper is a muscle car

[t-topV6]

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

yep.. viper is a muscle car... but its not the only one, this is an example of another

[Texas02Fbody]

Re: 3.8L camaro muscle car?

I would consider a Viper a sports car/super car.

4.6 stangs if m5 (if its a cobra of any year forget about it.)
lt1s
ls1s
accords
preludes
nissan maxima and sentra
300zx
grand prix gtp and other s/c'd w bodies
rx7
trucks
thunderbirds
bimmers (not talking about m3s)
3000gt
stealth r/t
acura cl
integra gsr
RSX type-s

all of these run similar or better times than the v6 fbody stock to stock. all from 96-02

i can go on.

and no **** there are new cars that can beat older ones, but in their times, theres not much that could hang.
