no, most of today's cars comes with a/c radio/ cd changers etc fuckloads of creature comforts

when the real muscle car era began people bought bare-bones stripped down models of those cars with big block options

back then the philosophy was big motor+no options+RWD+ relatively light car

today it's small motor+options+RWD+decently heavy car

yeah i know the SRT-10 and viper have the 8/8.3L V-10 but most people can't afford that, the most reasonable biggest motor available is the 5.7l or the 6l in the GTO

maybe i'm just picky or too much of a purist, i don't even consider my stang a muscle car

I can see what you're saying. It'd be nice if you could get a bare-bones Stang or something of the like with a 500 whp motor

Word. I am reading it now and there is NOTHING in there at all except that cool little piece with the Starion in it.

exactly today's cars are too flashy and comfortable for me to consider them muscle cars

i'd be happy with any factory car with no options (not even a/c) with a 400HP motor factory

Word, I had no A/C, a broken window crank, and manual door locks in my Rex. Not to mention it road like a russian tank at times. Too bad I didn't have a 400hp engine though

Yeah, I started out with no radio and one speaker Then my cousin gave me his radio and 3 speakers, that was nice. Even hooked it up to my OEM equalizer. Old Skool :P

---- son, that's beyond old school

what do you mean....there are cars out there like the GTO, the SRT-4, the colbalt, the new saturn, svt focus, the hemi trucks/magnum, all kinds of "muscle" out there IMO. sure its styleish, but back then flashy was a vynal bucket seat. They also had wood grain steering wheels, ---- like that in the 60's was flashy. the govt is much more regulating now, so that is kinda holding things back a bit also, imo. I think there is muscle cars all over the place.
