For me that looks nothing like a classic muscle car though. Maybe if it were in some kind of black or bad*** gray but off blue? Just doesnt fit the car IMO.
neat car but i don't know if i'd pay 70 for it. i'd probably get an S5, put the $15k in savings into wheels, suspension, and motor........ or find a used R8
Depends what you want bro. That car will blow the doors off both the S5 and the R8. Plus you're getting a serial #1 limited edition car. Ever watch the auctions and see what cars like that go for a few years down the road? For the same price as a Z06 Vette you get a car with 300 more horses.
ah, i see.... you're just speaking of collector value or horsepower? i have to admit i'm less attracted to ridiculous horsepower figures than i was a few years ago. the reality is i rarely - if ever - got to use most of them (the horsies), you know? as far as blowing doors off - i guess it depends on what track you go to. the two cars i listed aren't built for drags.... but they'd probably hand a defeat to the stang at the Nordschleife. if you're talking from a collector's standpoint regarding this car - yeah, can't argue with you. if you're talking from a "if you had $70k to spend, what would you buy" standpoint, i think i'd go a different direction. just the "different strokes" idiom really. i do like that color though, and i'd take that original 70's model you posted any day of the week.
Both! I still do, I guess that's why I'm still drawn to them. Will I ever use the eventual 1,000 horses I'll have. Probably not. But it's nice to have. Which is exactly why I said it depends what you want. You wanna drag, then this is better. You want road racing...you're probably right on the ones you posted. I don't know what kind of suspension this Stang has. I do know there are ones made that rip up road tracks. That's one of the reasons I said bang for the buck. Low investment, huge dividends. Exactly.
you know pagan, this is weird, but with me and american cars? the 80's were IT. i mean i love the 60's and 70's - close seconds. but i absolutely ADORE 80's american cars. the biggest crap that this country has ever produced? i love. some of my favorite american cars that i will own in my collector garage: * GMC Syclone/Typhoon * Grand National * Olds Cutlass Supreme, V8 (mid 80's - the hurst edition with t-tops would be just fine) * Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (i could do the 1990 version with one-piece headlights & clear tails) * Ford Taurus SHO (1st gen) * Dodge Omni Turbo * Dodge Caravan Turbo (1st gen caravan. i want in baby blue with wood sides!) these cars will be collectors cars 20 years from now. (i'd like the old boss 402's, chevelle ss's, etc.... but those are too expensive. right now i can afford the above list.)
I really like that color. I remember the original. But yeah, those rims are pretty ghetto for the price. A set of blacks would have worked off the trim color well. There's NO other chrome on the car besides those fugly rims...doesn't look right at all. And hey, Paisan - I'm a Z man myself, but the musclers were my first love.
