According to the June 1967 issue of Road Test magazine, a

A quote is drawn from, Peter Henshaw, furthers that the muscle
car was designed for straight-line speed, and did not have the
"sophisticated chassis", "engineering integrity" or "lithe
appearance" of European high-performance cars<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p>

In the 2 years I've been going to our drag strip, I've come to realize one thing: they can drive whatever they want, but they'll never be as bad a$$ as the old school mopar guys. You KNOW when you're standing in the presence of a Mopar driver.

true to that my brother you can smell a mopar guy a mile away
i have been a long fan of mopar and i have been following mopar from 5 years
mopar for life

i'm a huge fan of muscle cars i respect them all the same as each of them has some significance and they all have thier own following. if i had my choice it'd be a cuda, Z-28/SS/RS camaro, Mustang Mach1, AC cobra and the list goes on....

long live the muscle car!
