And its a muscle car, when have they ever been about refinement lol. But like you said, theres lots of choices to fit everyones tastes
Oh no doubt about it, the new Shelby's will kick *** any day of the week.

For me, if I wanted a muscle car, I wouldn't buy a modern car. I'd go buy a '65-'68 mustang. That's pure classic muscle. If I wanted a new car it'd have to be european.

Definitely can't beat a classic, i love how the mustang is getting the rep nowdays it had back in the day tho. To be honest i think american companies are finally catching up to european companies. Look at like the fusion, the new focus and whatnot. Just look at american cars 10 years ago compared to the quality today. Sure is a big difference. Hope they stay consistent like the european cars do.

Not really my style, but a sweet ride nonetheless.
This is more like what I'm thinking about. Just pure classic

Or something like this! 1970 Nissan Skyline GTR 1st gen
Rare and at least $40k for a good one. $80k for a really clean one.

Default If I won the lottery

If I won the lottery (at least $30mil), this would be at least one of my garages!
