Good looking car. Glad to see American muscle like the Camaro, Challenger and Mustang with rear wheel drive and V8 power.

Difficult concept for some.

Friend of mine saw one run low 13s at the track this week. I'm not gonna stick my nose at it anymore, its a sweet ride for sure, and probably faster than the original.

OK, now that that is out of the way, I drove around the corner from my house, and this is what I saw!




This is the first one I have seen in my state, so please forgive my excitment, lol. Sorry for the low quality pics, I had to use my phone-camera. I think this car is so bad-*** looking! I don't know who the person is, but it sure is nice to see some good ol' American muscle in my neighborhood for a change!

I don't know about all of you, but I for one am really excited to see these throwback, classic 8's coming back over the past few years. I just hope the gas situation doesn't kill this trend before one of my favorite cars growing up sees the light of day, the Camaro.

I'll always love my 'Vette first and foremost, but this just made my day yesterday.
1st off this is the other car forum, meaning its cars other than corvettes, as it states, so you can talk about any car you want, second I saw one yesterday in IL, I was in my Viper, gace the guy a big thumbs up!!, the car is person looks even better than in the pictures!!
