[JUSTA6]

I hate these click on ads, but checked this out and Pontiac was well represented in both cat's.   Whatcha think?

I somewhat disagree with the '74 GTO on the 10 that shouldn't list. It had the best power to weight ratio of any of the '64 to 74 GTOs. Yes, it was an X-body and not an A-body car. It looked more Nova than GTO. Remember that the insurance companies, unleaded gas, net vs gross horsepower ratings all signaled the death knell for all muscle cars, not just for the GTO. It didn't help that Pontiac had introduced the Grand Am on the A-body platform the year before to compete directly against the '73 GTO either. So GTO sales were plummeting anyway.

I had a 74 Ventura fastback.  Loved that car.  Traded it in for the Sunbird.  I don't agree with the 80's Gran Prix making the shouldn't list.  Always liked the styling better than the Monte Carlo or the Gran National.

I think the only real reason that the 80s Grand Prix made the list is because you could only get a V6 or the 305 gutless wonder V8 in it. It had beautiful yet conservative styling unlike the sport styling of the Monte Carlo or Grand National. Now drop a crate 350/383 in one of them, now you are talking. Also you will notice that the Aerocoupe Grand Prix 2+2s were not expressly called out either even though only a 305 was available in them.

Yea, but they had the cool/distinctive  back window.   There was a black N gray 2 tone package on the early 80's Prix that was heart melting.  Paid cash for the Sunbird or almost went into a loan for the Prix.

There are sooo many ads in that mess, you think your clicking on the next page and your off in left field somewhere.  But dang you must have been writing as you were reading to keep track.

That's why it's called Click-Bait - for a reason.

One last one for the typical CHEVY overkill.

 

Stay or go?  Not me U ride it.

OHHH great, now Ford wants to play.

39. The highest revving engine inside of a production car is in the 2008 Ariel Atom 500. It reached 10,500 RPM.

MY blowers bigger than yours...

REALLY     Cmon....

At one point this 1969 Lamborghini Espada was his only car. It now has somewhere north of 100k miles on it.

 

1994 McLaren F1....What is your 1994 vehicle worth if you had to guess? Well, Jay’s McLaren F1 is reportedly worth a cool $12 million. He says while he doesn’t have a favorite car this is the first one he would try to save from imminent disaster if he had too.

I had a look through that list: lots of errors there. It was a Mazda Cosmo, not Cosmos. Capri Perana was NOT based on a Falcon. Torana SS did NOT have 'welded wheel flares,' and the pic of the Austin Healey 3000 was actually an Austin Sprite. AND some of the file photos were of modified cars. Moan, bitch, grumble...calling the list Muscle Cars was also misleading. Some great cars, but not all were muscle. 

The Yank cars deserve the 'muscle' tag and rightly so. But UK, Euro & Jap stuff is not to be sniffed at - it's just that they aren't muscle. Fast, stylish & capable, sure. To discount the E Type Jag and Datsun 240Z as rubbish is wrong. If it wasn't for constant innovation, we'd all be driving Corollas. I'm tired, thirsty & hungry. Where the f#$%'s dinner, bitch? Oh...it's my turn to cook tonight.

you would be in the back paddock with the kangaroo's digging your own grave!!

I would only speak to you guys like that. Although insane, I'm not entirely stupid..mind you, some of my past decisions would question that.
