I am sorry but anyone who says old school (or preschool) classic Japanese cars can't look better than old school muscle can lick my taint. I would take just about any classic car in that film and drive the shit out of it.

Some look great but come on... Muscle car look is the ultimate.

Just a matter of personal opinion. Later, QD.

I disagree. Most of the 'old skool' japanese cars look like mini muscle cars.

Of course you disagree. It's YOUR opinion. Later, QD.

BTW I am surprised you made this claim, however i support it.

Surprised?

I am an american car fan at heart.

If you gave me the choice of ANY car at any price.

1969 Hemi Charger - Plum Crazy over Black - Standard transmission of course

Do it


There are so many others on 'my list' but I would have to start there. I am a mopar fan mainly but Buick GSX and the AMX and others. So hawt! Beats anything built today. M3's and M5's included


Also to note... I don't see an old retro Japanese car 'whizzing' past a ground pounder like a Hemi Charger

I didn't see anyone say it would. Later, QD.

Well there will be no taint licking, but I disagree wholeheartedly.

I think 60s muscle is one of the best old school looks with the late 40s streamline design close behind.

[MSP1660]

You all are nuts. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love nothing more to see and hear a nice 60's or 70's muscle car screaming down the highway... but shortly thereafter I love seeing a classic japanese car go whizzing by said muscle car with better fuel economy!

I love Japanese cars. What can I say? I've never owned an American or Euro car in my life.

Well you are missing out then. On BOTH fronts...

Ok to my defense, my first 3 cars were provided by my folks (and sure they were paid for but sure weren't anything worth writing home about)

89 Toyota Camry (totalled, t-boned an 80 year old, his fault)
91 Honda Accord (broke down after 250K miles)
92 Toyota Camry (engine seized)
94 Mazda Protege (kept spitting spark plugs) (kept it around)
92 Toyota Camry (the same one as before, it got fixed!) (then sold)
Traded the 94 Protege into the dealer for a...
03 Toyota Tacoma
Traded in for the...
03 Mazdaspeed Protege

If I had a choice, my FAVORITE car ever..

1972 BMW 2002 turbo! I love Euros I've just never owned one. My buddy I believe is on here but if not, he has a 98 VW GTI VR6 turbo at 2x psi. It's black with red rims, it's beautiful.

As I said, I love old american muscle. Next up behind the BMW 2002 would be a 1964 Lincoln Continental black with red int.

I already own the first car of my dreams... (look at sig)

[OneSlow5pt0]

i pretty sure u wont see a 2000GT out run a AMX..lol

i do love 60s japanese cars,but muscle from 60s to early 70s,well really dont get any better

Well first off you will never, ever see a 2000GT on the road. Secondly, the 2000GT is akin to a Ferrari more than a 60's Japanese Mucle car. Thirdly, you could by oh..about...40 AMX's for the price of a 2000GT in decent shape. Since the average price for one of the 351 examples of this car produced is around $200,000 grand with the record at $325,000...yea.

It also set several world FIA records for speed and endurance in 72 hours tests.

The one cool thing though. BOTH cars, the AMX (Javelin and the Hornet) along with the 2000GT, were in Bond films. The AMX's in The man with the Golden Gun, and the 2000GT in You only live twice.

I also know where a Root Beer AMX Javelin is, the short body. V8, stick, ground effects, the whole nine. It's pimp. Cheap too I think. It's on an old country road outside my town. If you are interested, let me know.

I think American muscle, by far, has been saved, done--a huge following. The cars are not a dying breed. They've, even, been revived--look at the new mustang, challengers, chargers. My eye is on the old school imports. Save the soul!!

They make stroker kits for the M5/M6 V-10's. Bolt on Supercharges. Big Brakes, suspensions and all other kinds of that jazz.

I would gladly own every single one of those cars. I'm not a huge fan of american muscle (Just because I don't like the size of the cars themselves, not a big-car-guy unless it's a long-wheel base limo-style Euro (A8L, 7XXiL) the fact that alot of those old-school J-cars have the same kinda styling with a smaller style and engine is just awesome to me. I couldn't care less how fast it can go, as long as it goes "quick" then it does all I need.

Edit: I would also love to DD an old Crown or Cedric.
