i'm digging the new '05 mustang. goodbye fox! i finished reading Motor Trend's first hand article on the production model, and all I can say is "wow". The car is very tight. New SOHC 24V V-8 putting out 300 HP at 6000 and 315 lb/ft torque at 4000 (i think it's 4000) and that's just in a mildly tuned state, and it's all stuffed between a Macpherson strut (that's a first for the mustang) rounding out for a 52/48 weight distro. The SVT is gonna get an awesome version of the engine for sure, and Carol Shelby working on the line up will definitely produce one of the next classics. Oh, and not to mention the 1960s look of the car that makes me drool. And all this coming from someone who vowed never to buy american, let alone Ford, again (I guess I can't get away from my Pony car roots)

My fav are the are the early and mid 70's camaros and trans am (Smokey and the Bandit ). Pure power and mystique would be orginal Shelby Cobra.

Buick Grand National was twin turbo v6, I think.

The svt cobra looks hot...don't know if is V8...i don't check out much american cars. The svt cobra sure did catch my attention. I really like the viper...but is a V10 now...so i guess is off topic. Out of all the american cars...for some reason...i love the svt focus...that thing is a cool lil ride.

best car i think, is a car made by AED...

it looks *** ugly, but they took a 96 Grand Am, took out the 3.1 v6 and put in a 3.8 supercharged v6 and rotated it 90 degrees for it to be RWD, looks so cool doin burnouts and stuff...and its a GrandAm...that would of been the ultimate sleeper besides some of those weird cars liek the 9 second Dodge Caravan and Dodge K Car

Camaro still has my vote, when i can afford it, im gonna get a 97-98 Z28 or the 86-92 vette, cuz they are pretty cheap and stuff...but i'd have to wait for my insurance break lol
