I have owned lots of muscle, mostly mopar muscle.. I'd never/ever race one of them little jap cars on the street- imagine racing one n when u arrive at the next red light, he's sitting there already... embarrassing indeed, espec since his engine is a 1.6/2.2, and mine... 7.4... or larger...
them japs run, but could never buy one.. that high pitch whine , espec thru their single 'fart-pipe'... i'll stick with old Detroit iron...

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Tuner or Muscle is the question?

I've had a bit of both during my time of car ownership... (mainly European cars with some American cars sprinkled in the mix...)

All time favourite car owned has to be my old '91 VW GTI with a VR6 shoehorned into it. This thing sounded like a Mustang GT on 'roids...

Favourite American car owned '13 Corvette 427 convertible. First car I bought when I moved to San Diego... raw 500 horses. Pure American Muscle. Didn't own this one too long... Terrible car to daily drive...

Current ride, traded the 427 Vette for a 2013 BMW E93 M3 Convertible. Smaller V8 (4.0L), much smaller than the 7.0L in the Vette. But something about ITB's and 8400rpm redline, mechanical symphony!!! German muscle!!!

in a week im going to fly to vegas and rent a uhaul and trailer to bring a garage and shed full of projects and tools out here to colorado. the big deal is i get my hands back on this after 7+ years separated:

that was when i bought it, its all apart now but 90% of the money for the build is spent & a lot of the work is done. motor is built, suspension is done, time to get back to work...

oh yeah, i'll be getting my grow gear too, yay!
