    Default Import or Muscle?

    Which cars do you guys prefer? Imports or American Muscle?

    For me imports.

    I don't like many imports. Supra's and Skyline's I would call import muscle, so they get a pass. I'm a fan of torque, so muscle is the way to go, most of the time. Though, I would take Euro's over both of them.

    I'm a car guy, but I don't have love for a certain company like a lot of car guys do [Ford, Chevy], and I don't hate imports. I'm an equal opportunity car lover.

    For new cars I prefer imports. I can hardly think of a single modern domestic car that I would drive over its japanese or german counterpart. Classic cars I take muscle all the way though. My dream car is a 69 Camaro SS.

    I've been working on a restoration of a 66 Nova for a few years now.

    And when we're done, my father and I are going to redo his 56 Vette.

    So for me it's a no brainer.

    Really!? That was my favorite car for the longest time! I had a tiny picture of a red one from Hot Rod magazine on my wall for 10 years before I moved into our new house.

    I'm sure you must have 100's of resto pics, e-mail them to me? What are your plans with it? Lemme guess, twin turbo, twin supercharged, right!? JK Is it frame on or off restoration?

    That's an Audi R8, asher. Here's a clip of it with Kreissieg exhaust, the best aftermarket exhaust manufacturer on the planet.

    Technically It's an import, but no one uses that word to describe cars from Europe.

    Muscle = American [obviously]
    Import = Asian
    Euro = European

    That's how most car guys do it, to avoid confusion.
