Poll: What Kind of Car Would You Rather Drive...???

[Dynamix3D]

Would you rather drive an Import car?
Or drive an American Muscle car?

So, where's the poll? Doesn't seem quite fair to lump any old foreign car against muscle cars. Is there some kind of common denominator, like the total initial cost?

I want the most bang for my buck with cars as well as PC. I would grab a 4dr version of a "Muscle" car, because it would have all the advantages of the muscle car, performance-wise, and very low initial cost. Same engine, tranny, linkage, brakes and general parts availability. Basically, I'd pick American V8, RWD for ruggedness and cheap, easy to install parts. More likely a Cadillac Fleetwood then a Chevy SS.

If I were to go for an import, at the same price point as American, I'd probably get a Parisian (Built in Canada)

i drove my friend's dad's Roadrunner today. 440 cubic inches of V-8 power, wow! i don't really care about this thread, i just wanted to say that I drove that monster.

 

Id say import.
Too many issues already with american cars.

What car is the Parisian?

I have a 1986 (Pontiac) Parisienne if that's what you're talking about....

Yeah, Pontiac Parisian. Does yours have a good size V8? My POS '77 Bonneville had a damn 301ci in it :|
