This poll doesn't have 'fast and subtle', 'Q-car' or 'sleeper' as an option.

I prefer fast, capable cars that blend in, but pwn at the blink of an eye.

 

[Quixfire]

Do you really have to ask?

 

[TheCorm]

My car is anti-rice and has enough muscle for me. Looks like ordinary big saloon....200bhp 2.0 Turbo Engine....which is small by US standards but a nice size for the UK.

Most of my life I dreamed of owning a muscle car... good old Detroit steel.
Now that I am older I cant afford the gas in any way shape or form.

I have a new passion towards imports.... but they never will replace the original
muscle cars for me.

My daily driver was a 78 tbirb for the last 5 years... 5 MPG in the city tops.

I am still trying to sell the car for $600 and it is damn near perfect.... nobody wants to buy
a gas guzzling car right now.

Car has a 351M ( alone worth the price ) Runs perfect.. burns NO oil. Suspention is PERFECT.... will go 100 MPH with no vibration.
BRAND NEW tires and wheels,.... over $500 alone... tires still have the bumpy little knobs on them.

This car was appraised at over $5k a few years ago. Now NOBODY wants it.

Maybe you should just tune it up real good? Or rebuild the carb?

It should get better mileage than that. Even my Crown Vic with a 302 gets 18 mpg in the city.

Actually most people consider the 351M to be nearly worthless. It is not related to the 351 Windsor or the 351 Cleveland in any way. There are performance parts for it but, you would be better off building the 400 then, which is basically the same engine just bigger.

I agree with most of what you said... but the car is solid/golden.
been 100% show rebuilt before.... now its considered junk.


If you wanna talk about the car please call 313-598-0688

I work nights so please only call late at night.


Peace
Rich

LOL

There must be something wrong somewhere. Fuel leaks? Clogged Filtre? Bad PCV?

Maybe too high a numerical gear? Slipping torque converter?

If that's the case, rice is like the dork who buys the $200 Nike shoes, gets Nike pants, gets Nike shirts, sweat band, socks, and all that crap and still can't make a shot.

 

[murphy55d]

Neither. I like SUVs.

Not even, Rice is like the Dork that attends Trekkie Conventions and waits in line for weeks to be the first in line for the latest Star Wars Movie!

I drove my friend's 1971 Challenger RT 440 6 pack 4 speed super-trac pack 4.10 geared Dana car.

Only word I use to descibe it was OMFG!

He sold a AAR Plum Crazy Cuda with a 340 6 pack to buy this one. He said the AAR was much nicer shape than his present one but this one looks almost showroom so I imagine his AAR must have mint. I'll get pics of it next time I see it.

absolutely awesome

Neither, really. I prefer a more "balanced" car. One that has both good looks, good comfort, AND good performance. Rice and muscle cars only meet one or two of those criteria.

I don't discriminate. Gimme a Caddy CTS-V, a Pontiac GTO, an Audi S4 or a G35 coupe and I won't complain All those cars are excellent vehicles in all respects without really compromising anything.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

vi: depends on how you define muscle. I'd call the GTO muscle. And I'll have to wait on if the Magnum would be too.

 

For going fast in a straight line, I like muscle.
For when you actaully have to turn, I like "rice".

I typically like to get over 20mpg though. Nothing like keeping our dependence on foreign oil like old gas guzzling design.

Yeah, that's exactly what I am talking about!!!

Kinda like what I said before too (When Magnum really meant something [440 wedge])... when HEMI really meant something 12.5:1 compression BB with over 500lbs of tq *wood*

"Muscle" is a vague term. The GTO and the Caddy CTS-v (and even the Audi S4) all have high output V8's in them. But what makes the GTO "muscle" while the other two aren't?

Not mocking at all...just trying to get a "muscle" definition.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Just like rice, it's mostly an image thing.

Have you seen pictures of the GTO? In this months C&D driver it looked like a pumped up cavalier from the sides and back.

exactly right, i should have added the rice version, too.

 

[iamme]

i really do like working out and being Asian, i eat rice all the time

 

[Nyical]

Mmmmmm.....302 goodness

 

[Ns1]

if you refer to rice as any modified import, i'd rather have teh rice

if you refer to rice as any 2slow2ridiculous vehicle, i'd rather have the muslce car

i think muscle cars are cool weekend drivers, but i could never have one daily driver

 

[amdskip]

My old car, sold it
