For so long, we've had to accept the plain Jane, commercial design of many American cars, void of character and defining attitude. At the peak of the muscle car wars in the late 1960's, you couldn't go a mile without seeing someone you'd just love to drive circles around, knowing your car was better.

In this day and age of front wheel drive V6s and up untill recently 4 speed automatics and round, inverted bathtub styling, we now have at least one car from every American company with individual style, attitude, and respective fans can now argue again!

This is FUN! This is what America is all about. Now I know what my uncle was talking about when bought his 1966 GTO in 1969, and he told me every topic of discussion amongst his friends was about the cars, if GM or Chrysler or Ford had the best ones, and then going out on the street and having fun.

I don't know if this is a full resurgence of the muscle car wars (probably not), but for us enthusiasts its a blast and I hope no amount of CAFE and hybrids can kill it!

Totally agree! We are living in a new muscle car era!

Unfortunately this is not suprising. There are many of these mentally challenged people. If they were not, they would be driving Chevrolet's.

He is correct I couldnt agree more. So many people have forgotten about the rivalry. We had a dedicated Chevy row at our high school parking lot...lol
