Default Anyone Appreciate Yanky Iron?

I own a Bugeye with full Prodrive exhaust and re-mapped to around 245-bhp, so I love my Jap turbos. I also love American cars, especially the muscle. If you could have any American car, what would it be?

Mine would be the Buick GNX. Oh yeah, it has a turbo

No it belongs to a lass who I know who's now living over in Florida (originally a local). It started off as bog standard SVT at around 400bhp but after supercharging and pulley fettling plus a few other bits and bobs it's now at around 700! Here's another shot with the proud owner. I'm sure she won't mind. 😊

I have had a 56 Chevy with a 6.6 litre big block in it and I built a 27T with a 4.6 litre small block. Wish I still had them

That doesn't look like it would take a corner too well.

Wildcard:



Basically a Talbot with a turbo'd engine



Seriously I prefer the idea of getting something from the 60's/70's like a challenger or charger and putting a nice new LS9 engine, 6speed, and fitting full IRS to the back double wishbone on the front. Wouldn't be very original, but'd be ace on the track and absolutely tronce anything modern.

I know its ozzy muscle, but I also have a hankering for a orginal Holden Monaro or Falcon XB.
