Import Tuner vs American Muscle - Your Opnion? Pictures

[UGHH]

Muscle all day. I don't have any pics, but I used to have a 68 Nova when I was 16. Was supposed to be a project car for me and my dad. Moved to an apt and had to get rid of it. Then I had a 91 RS t-top camaro. Both weren't cream of the crop nice cars, but the sound and power of an American V8, can't beat it.

You can beat it with the sound of a German or Italian V8.

Im more of a turbo guy. If an American car had a solid turbo engine, id buy one of them. I do plan on picking up an old pickup and dropping in either an lsx or new ford mustang engines in it as a toy.

Previous Car 2012 Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo pushing close to 400rwhp on e85. And you can see my old SPL Vehicle a 99 GMC. Biggest POS ever.

Current Car 2009 BMW 335xi 3.0 Inline 6 Twin Turbo tuned for e85 putting 400+ AWHP

Completely different both sound amazing but nothing sounds as bad a$$ as an American muscle

Never was a fan of how they look and aren't they FWD?

but dropping an lsx into an old ford pickup would be so sweet for the diehard ford fans

A lot of ford guys put Chevy motors in their junk fords. Lol All that tells me is that they realize Chevy power plants are way better. Don't see too many Chevys with ford 5.0. Lol

I'd rather drop it in a 70-72 c10

They both have a bunch of good options... its all about personal taste. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or just doesn't want to admit it. Ive driven numbers of fast muscle cars, and have had an 18g turbo'd civic SI, Modded GTP, Modded WRX and a Modded Speed6 and I really came to love the 2 awd cars. Almost bought my associates 650+hp GT500 that was a beast too. Still drive the SPeed 6 for a daily driver til I decide what car I want to build on next... put more work into this car already though really like it. AWD, 6 speed, turbo/intercooled plus lots of creature features from heated 2 tone seats to xenon adjustable headlights, moonroof, bose, one touch windows, etc. Might just end up building this motor. Almost to 100k and had no issues since ive had it. Not the best import but its decent. Heres the stang too..
