An EV with fake V8 sound? Must have been one of their DEI transgender employees that came up with that bright idea.
More and more old muscle cars are showing up on the market as baby boomers die off. Seems the younger generations don’t care much for them.
How about the newest Corvette...C8 ZR1...1064 HP...0-60 under 2 seconds?
I live in the shadow of the Appalachians. I never owned a muscle car but I think it’s awesome to see so many of them stored under car covers in the rural area around me. And I do get chills when I hear the roar of a V8 in the distance when one of them is making its way through the mountain gap up the road in the gathering darkness.

...especially sitting at the red light at idle, next to an oversized golf-cart driving karen, who tries to inch forward & away from the lumpy idle with her RBF.
To me, a ‘71 Challenger with a 340 Six Pack and A-833 four-speed was the most awesome muscle car ever made, if only because of its handling capability.
Mustang is the last man standing.dodge had some foreigner running the show and canned the challenger and charger and went electric.that was a piss poor decision as was the so called ev mustang.
I had a 350 SS Camaro with 4:56 gears, four speed, headers, bored out block, Erson cam, double 680 Holleys. Got it to 14.1.
I’m terrible at posting pics, but I was street racing, and for once, let my friend (a better driver than me) drive against a 440 six pac cuda and they crashed at 112. Both cars rolled, flipped, one went down a hill and into a brick wall.
Both drivers, wearing only seat belts, walked away without a scratch.
Then I took the insurance $ and bought a 450 HP 454 Chevelle!
These cars have their market, along with smaller cars and even electric cars. What’s truly American is that no make be compelled or subsidized.
I know nothing about cars, but I think the looks of muscle cars are works of art.
“twin-turbocharged in-line six cylinder”
there’s probably no worse ICE engine than a grossly under-powered one with a turbocharger to try to make up the difference ... a turbocharger is nothing but a finicky bunch of high-precision machined parts waiting to explode ...
Honda tried that BS with their non-hybrid Accord models ...
My car..
1967 Pontiac GTO
Factory 400 H/O 4- speed car with 365 hp 10.5 to 1 compression

I bought it in 1990 from the original owner when it was affordable.
I’m hoping to have it back together by next erf day so I can take it out for a fast bout of criminal behavior.
