What is it about musclecars...

[Every_Mn]

That makes you like them? I doubt that anyone was just walking around one day and said to him/herself "I want to get myself a musclecar" for no reason...

the smell of the fuel, old interior smell, the sound of the exahust, the smell of burning rubber, the irreplacable looks.

Exactly. And for that same reason I dislike new Benzs and Porsches and the like.

Nostalgia mostly...the memories of driving in high school, the fading memories that need to be rekindled. Ok, enough of that mushy, touchy-feely stuff...the main reason is TO BURN RUBBER!

I'd like to know what specifics about the bodies people like. I spend alot of time analyzing the body lines of old cars and comparing them to new ones. Things like the coke-bottle body style, round headlights, the C-pillars, fastbacks, long hood/short decks, big tail-fins. Things like that that you don't see as much in new cars. You don't see nice crisp body lines in cars anymore; everything has to be complex compound rolls, with no projections to cut down on drag. I always loved the rectangular projection of the fenders and quarters on the '70-'72 Monte Carlos.

You already posted this on MCC fruitloop :D

It's the acceleration, the pure joy of being able to spin the tires at will....... and the frustration when the gas gauge moves in unison with the speedometer.

Ya, I know I already posted it at MCC, but, like the drones you are, everyone one of you immediately went "LARGE DISPLACEMENT ENGINE IN AN INTERMEDIATE CHASSIS!!!!!" Then Every_Mn made a flame session out of the thread so I never got an answer. And if you ever call me fruitloop again, I'm gonna hit you in the solar-plexus with a drive-shaft.:D

for me, I saw my uncle's coronet when I was 8 and all I thought was "man that is cool....I NEED one of those" I think its the shear power with no power steering, no power brakes, no A/C, no traction control.......its death on wheels......pure power......I LOVE IT.
