I don't have a muscle car yet. I can't afford the one I want. You can check out my three cars by clicking the links in my signature.

Not an owner yet, but I sure love to talk about them.

I am really torn between the 1970 Superbird, the 1971 Hemi Cuda, and a 1970 Challegner RT.

I've got a '67 mustang, I guess it's not really a musclecar, more of a gt car i guess since its only got the 200ci i-6 for now, and probably till i at least get through high school, its a work in progress anyway, but the lineage is there, and nothign warms my heart more than hearing a thumping torque monster musclecar peeling off the line.

<<-- newbie

I love to drive my brothers '77 nova. While not technically a muscle car, it still packs a punch. 350 cid with a couple performance parts.

My dad owns (and I drive, occasionally) a 1976 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a 460cid engine. Beast to drive. Driven over 120mph (that's where it pegs, don't know how fast I was actually going) many times.

We're currently working on a 1977 Ford LTD II. Really nice condition (as opposed to the cougar, which is a junker with a new motor).

I'm still too knew to know what I want. Something with a hemi sounds really nice. From what I can tell a 427cid engine is where it is at. I read on the musclecarclub website that the 1966 427 Cobra is the fastest stock muscle car. I still can't figure out who made it, I originally thought cobra meant mustang. On that same site, however, it made no mention of the 427 Cobra in the history section of the 'stangs.

Someone wanna fill me in? *nudges musclecarclub.com webmaster*

You are mixing up the "real" Cobras that were manufactured by Carroll Shelby and the Ford Mustang Cobras. The Shelby Cobras were built by Carroll Shelby using Ford engines in an AC (a European lightweight sports car) body. The Shelby Mustangs were regular Mustangs modified (originally under the direction of Carroll Shelby but later with very little of his input) for increased performance. Finally, Ford just called their high performance Mustangs "Cobras." But they are definitely not the same.

Yes. It doesn't look like much, but when that engine starts up, you quickly understand why.

Thats your Cobra. Fastest 60's Muscle car.

Well the wide tires and the side exhaust pipes are aggressive yes but I've always thought the body looked like this dinky little euro car, like a MG or something. It's supposed to look like that anyways it was based off of european styling.
