New Generation Muscle Cars

I recall in the late 80's and early 90's ditching the ability to carry someone in the back seat for the ability to see how big of sub speakers and amps you could fit in thier place. I got at large as an 18" sub with that snazzy dash mounted EQ. All the systems back then sounded terrible - I recall driving around with the bass banging but not being able to hear a single word of what was being sung.

I almost forgot how everyone was doing Bazzoka bass tube's,Pyle drivers,Zues amps,Alpine stereo's,pioneer super tuners,Goose neck equlaizers And yes it was all for the BASS!!-I only did one car like that=I was more in to speed &style,but most of my friends from back in the days,Would Put Crazy soundsytems that sounded AWFULL in piece of crap cars-Most of times they would get robbed-they would just take the stereo equipment And leave the cars-but if they did have "5 star" rims or "hammer "type rims with out locks they would get jacked too-

I cannot think of anyting more fun and bang for your buck then a 5.0 Mustang. I bought one in 1983 ( early 84 model ) and still have her tucked away. Charcol in and out T-top 5 speed. I did the usual simple bolt on's in the late 80's. Car goes high 13's. Mind you this is a 175 HP car

This was my brother's 1979 Trans Am Special Edition, 400 4-speed, that he special ordered and picked it up in Dec. 1978.

I remember one day back in my high school years, back before I understood the difference between &quot;6.6 Litre&quot; and &quot;T/A 6.6&quot;, I pulled into gas station in my 89 Mustang and happened to pull in next to a very pretty, well maintained red 79 T/A. The older guy driving and I struck up a conversation, and I asked &quot;Which engine?&quot; He looked at me like I'd sprouted a second head and said &quot;The <span style="font-style: italic">only</span> engine. Four hunnert Pontiac.&quot;

There was Too much power and Even with Full race slicks-it would just spin.. I had lots of fun with this 2nd gen -But with Regret ,I Had to sell it to fund another project-But I kept the Motor-The guy I sold it too Was gonna restore it back to original-I sold it to him with the original Snowflakes&amp; unmolested shaker = </div></div>

Man, that's a pretty car. I've always though second-gen Firebirds were just about the sexiest car ever made. Unfortunately, the only one I've ever owned was a rusty, beat-to-the-ground, crap brown on tan 72 Formula 400.

Poor old thing was slow as a Citation towing a three story house up a mountain, but with a set of rusty Cherry Bombs, it did a great job of scaring the rollerskate chicks at Sonic. And that was enough to earn it &quot;cool&quot; status at my high school.

Yes - that is the one to have today. I will locate one. If I cannot get a nice original one I will restore one from the dead and give it new life.

W-72 - super T10 - WS6.... would be the correct formula for a late '70's T/A
