Jon, drewb and Hercubus have already OWN3D you enough, but just to add my own little bit and inform others:
That thing on the top of the engine is not just a 'big air intake'. It's a f@#%ing supercharger.

Just engage your brain before you say something ffs.

lm not an engineer, but what they said were actually logical, while the talk about ecu and extra gas made no sense

What's that supposed to mean. Cars are the only thing in life that I truly had a liking for and still do. Cars is the career I'm getting into and I even bought a $100 book for auto engineering.

I'll tell you what it means:

If you were REALLY into cars, then you would know what you're talking about. I think your old enough for that. And also, there's no point buying a book on auto engineering if you can't understand anything that's in it.

I myself am going to do auto engineering when I leave school. So that means that after my last year of school, I'm going to an institution to study maths methods, basic welding and auto mechanics. Then I'll go to University for four years, and HOPEFULLY I can then land a job as an auto engineer.

It takes a lot more effort then buying a book and talking crap on a forum

btw, If you're going to take the same path as me, then I hope you're good at maths because half of the four years at Uni is just that.

Math and science are my favorite subjects. Math is said to be the "language of the angels".

And the type of auto engineer I'm becoming is this.

The Drawings are done in CAD right?

If you don't believe me, then go HERE

.... ive read that article 5 times and i remember them saying the skyline ( for example) goes from 0-60mph in 7.something seconds(and yes, it had engine mods).... now you can read my post again.... i said the cars didnt have an easy life....
ok sry, i know this hasnt got anything to do with muscles.... i really love the looks of the challanger and the vette master m posted
btw i saw a corvette stingray yesterday, it was awesome

It didn't go anywhere.

Jopuma · Post by **Jopuma** » 01 Aug 2005, 18:12

Looked more like a Ford Mustang to me.

Aaah... so that's why the link says "Ford100", and the car doesn't look like an Shelby gt500 at all...?

That's not a Shelby GT500. It's a normal "Ford Mustang"

Next time search for it to be sure

I`ve always liked Challenger R/T, just like in Vanishing point

Vanishing point Challenger is plain white.

It looks utterly hideous, but for a mid-eighties car, the Corvette Sledgehammer was pretty damn fast.

As for my own taste in muscle cars, I definately like the look of the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Holden Kingswood Monaro GTS. XB GT Mustangs are nice, too.

the guy who owns it says it's a shelby. so maybe it's a GT350 and not GT500.

the GT350 looked a lot more like your common '66 Mustang

and just for reference, not all shelby's were fast backs either before anyone says anything about that.

No, the Mustang in that video wasn't a Shelby.
http://www.jbaheaders.com/articles/MF0406.pdf
That article is about the car in the video, and not once does it make reference to the car being a Shelby (more importantly, from '67 onwards, Shelby Mustangs used the taillights from Cougars, not regular Mustangs). Maybe it's just that the same guy also owns a GT500.

As for the fact that not all Shelby Mustangs were fastbacks, that is true, since there were convertibles made. But I don't think that they ever used the hardtop.

[quote="Jopuma"]The corvette Z06 is a cool car. The classic flip up lights, the sleek exterior. Ahhh that car is sooo coool.

The Corvette is a muscle car?

Post by **TheStig** » 02 Aug 2006, 00:16

What is should it be?

It's American, it has a big V8 so....

boganbusman · Post by **boganbusman** » 02 Aug 2006, 04:40

The only thing that sets it apart from other muscle cars is that it's not sqaure shaped.

Although, it seems to be getting more and more square with each new model that comes out . . .

Hecubus · Post by **Hecubus** » 02 Aug 2006, 05:29

I think the Corvette counts as a sports car.

A muscle car, in the traditional sense, is a mid-size (by 60's definitions) with a full-sized car's engine. Essentially, muscle cars have proper back seats, and pony cars (such as the Mustang or Camaro) are 2+2's.
