427 cubic inches, 600HP in competition form and a 2200Lb with beautiful independant suspension car= slow, how? Lack of driver skill may explain it. The CSX 4000s are being built now in South Africa. The originals were built somewhere in Nevada back in the 1960s

We all know that the 67 GTO is the baddest Muscle Car ever, so stop argueing.

Pontiac "swiss cheese" Catalina



Chrysler Hemi Belvedere



best muscle cars made in my opinion.





The 427 Cobra had the record for the fastest ever 1-100-0 time

Put some modern tires on a Cobra and it will beat pretty much anything

around. Period.

The Aluminum Catalina, the Hemi Dart, the ZL1 Camaro and the Boss 429 Mustang are my favorite striaght line cars

Yeahhh RX-7's may take it on a roadcourse and what not but even as fast as Ed's old car was there's nothing quite like the neck snapping torque a big V8 puts out.



As for me that Hemi 'Cuda I drove was SCARY. VERY scary. You could hear the frame trying to twist itself.



I've ridden in a viper, simillar effect.
