Tuners vs American Muscle
Thought this might make for an interesting debate.
which do you think is better?
Personally, I grew up on American Muscle performance vehicles.
Being a 60's child, (no comments from the peanut gallery about age), I grew up in the late 60's and early 70's on high performance muscle cars.
Engines ranged from 350 chevys to big block 427 Hemis and beyond.
One of my personal favourites and a car that I actually owned was a 1974 AMC Javelin AMX. it came equipped with a 401 4spd. After some tweaking, putting a cam into it, high rise intake manifold, 4BBL carb, performance exhaust and free flow exhaust manifolds, this puppy tossed out 406HP and ran a 1/4 mile in 10.5 seconds.
One that I would like to own at some point is a 1970 AMC Mark Donahue Javelin. This one typically came equipped with a 390 4spd. A relative unknown in the muscle car world but one that was a real head turner if you ever saw it.
What are your thoughts? which do you prefer? Have you owned any or own one now? details?
