Yea those older Camaros are sweet. I cant't afford any of the ones that are in nice shape. Working on getting a 4th gen Trans Am WS6, 6 speed of course.

Guess what, it's hard to tell most muscle cars apart from each other either, and they sound terrible. The sound is just screaming attention whore. It's almost as bad as the 16-17yr old with fartcan ricers.

each to their own anyways.

Asian car = little/no noise

No, but asian cars are 100% more likely to be ricers than muscle cars.

By your logic, ricers represent asian cars. Thanks, you just proved your idiocy.
A muscle car or an asian car can be loud, it depends on the muffler(s). Here is where I should call you a dumbass, but I'll refrain.

Uh not completely. Muscle car engines rumble very loud. It's very loud even at idle. Muscle cars are all by default loud. Asian cars are all by default very silent.
Sorry but you're still the only dumbass here.
Try again.
 
what is the point of having a muscle car if it doesn't rumble? its half the fun.
I would prefer the rumble of a hot 6 or V8 than the whiny tinny noise that ricers produce or the wheezy sound of a stocker. the rumble is all part of the character of a muscle car.
but trying to explain that to a fcktard is pointless.

Some jackass who obviously doesn't understand what muscle cars are all about threw it out there.
 
Now this topic is pretty amusing to me. I dont follow cars religiously, like some of you people do. I just have a hard time seeing why people want an 30-40 year old car that has horrible safety, worse handling, bad fuel efficiency, soundwise loud (although it appears to be soothing to some people), and races slower than today's fast cars. I don't care about ricing and other superficial looks than I do about performance; however, you have to admit, that none of the older "musclecars" can stand to newer varieties in a straight up race OR rally type racing OR an overall endurance test. Now... what is it that really attracts people to the "classic" musclecar? Is there something that seperates them from the newer models, or am I just missing it?

You're completely missing it... it's not about which has the highest top speed, or can get 25 mpg on the highway from a 350 HP engine, or about cornering G's, or about safety, or idles so quiet you have to check the tach to see if it's actually running. There's really no way to explain it in a way that would make you understand it. It's just what some of us like. Regardless of the performance of modern cars... Vipers, Corvettes, WRX's, RX-8's, 350-Z's, blah blah blah... NOTHING beats the feeling of a big block with a big cam rumbling inside 4000 pounds of iron... and the smell of the exhaust from a high compression engine with no CAT. 😉

Just because a car is old, don't underestimate it, a lot of 30-40 year old muscle cars can still take it up to modern cars, some even handle good, thats not to say that modern cars are crap, but a car doesn't get called a classic or muscle car for nothing, while I'm not sure about a lot of US muscle cars, a few Aussie muslce cars still have performance figures that can embarrass a lot of late model cars. a few of them even held world records for very long periods of time. I'm sure that there are plenty of US muscle cars that can fare just as well as modern mumbo.
I love the look on peoples face when I have just blown them away in my old "dinosaur" and they are packing a modern sports car, I still remember the look on a certain ferarri drivers face when his 360 modena barely out run an old aussie V8 "family" car, it will be one of those images that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
But I won't even go near the fuel economy or safety issue..you have won there..modern technology is a wonderful thing..if only it could be applied to styling

Ever seen the video of the late model Impala on a chassis dyno? It's fuggin great... sounds nice and stout while he's bringing it up to speed, then when he starts the run it sounds almost like a totally different engine.
 
No, i did have a video of a GMH 1987 Vl commodore Turbo with a 600hp RB30ET inline six on a dyno, it sounded plenty lumpy below 2 and half, but after the big fat turbo kicked in it sounded like a nascar on steriods...VROOOM VROOOM, it was a EFI turbo six but it still counts as a muscle car, because of it's heritage.

If you don't get it, why bother posting in a thread titled "muscle cars?" Go find a WRX thread.
