If I had a massive win on the Lottery, however, I'd probably go for the modern version: the DEMON. The name says it all:

As I lived near two US bases in the sixties and seventies, I used to see all the classic American muscle cars on the road when they were new.
I also saw them on the drag strip at Santa Pod in the production classes regularly and know how quick they are.
In standard trim, the 426 Dodge Challenger was the one to beat, the 454 Corvette was none too slow either.
(Yes, I know about the 600bhp SOHC Boss Mustang, but that was very limited edition to order only and a bit later :))
Nice one, Geoff. That must've been amazing!:cool:
Marco.
Mustang for me, please. Virtually any vintage, but particularly a '69 Boss. This is the "official" recreation of the 429 which has been modified tastefully.

But I'll happily take a modern Shelby GT-500 in orange, please. :)

Nice. I can see where you're going with that... BUT, I'd still want it in MATT black! Imagine THIS....

You wanted ORANGE, sir...??:eyebrows:
I think I've just dribbled....
Marco.
The big bruisers don't really appeal to me. OK on the drag strip, but too juicy and brutal for everyday use.
A '70 Chevy Nova SS would do me nicely. The 350 small block V8 is a good punchy unit and packs enough power. Plenty of modern goodies available to uprate the brakes and suspension etc too.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, Geoff. That would make a more practical everyday car, and cool too, but if I had to choose just one, it'd be a toss up between the Barracuda and the Dodge Charger...
For me, the 'cuda wins on looks, so it would be down to which one I preferred to drive more (ride quality, road handling, acceleration, and of course level of engine GROWL:eyebrows:) Top speed isn't that important, as long as the car was capable of at least 150mph, but it'd have to be an UTTER ANIMAL from 0-60!!
Marco.
Have you never considered having the Brabster done in matt black? There are quite a few cars around these days that have had a 'vinyl wrap', usually matt black, although I recently saw an C63 AMG in matt olive green, which was pretty bad ass, and not as gross as you might think. Especially with all the chrome bits black.Quote:
