Mopar is famous for the "Hemi" its just a head design, Ford made 2 versions of the 429 regular cast iron head and the race engine with full Hemi heads and they did a few other things with the oiling system...

That yenko is awesome. There is a very clean one in the fast and furious sequal.

Other cars I have loved:
69? Corvette 454 and sidepipes
93 Corvette zr1 400hp

The 68 camaro z28 with the 302 that could waste 327's. My uncle has one, but he doesnt run the original engine, put a 327 in it to keep the original nice.

In the original movie Vanishing Point with Barry Newman and Cleavon Little the car was a Challenger.

A bit of trivia: at the end when the car hits the bulldozers, look closely. It's not the challenger, its and early Camaro that they pulled the engine out of so it would wad up better. They actually pulled it with the Challenger on a tow line that fed out in front between the dozer blades.

Best old time musclecar movie: Two Lane Blacktop. With Dennis Wilson, James Tayler, and Warren Oates. 55 Chevy (which later was used on American Graffiti) against a 71 GTO racing cross country. Great flick.

The Boss 429 Ford actually wasn't a full hemispherical combustion chamber; it was often referred to as a "Semi-hemi" and Ford never called it a hemi although it quickly acquired that reference in the public from the head design.

Dude,I saw a GTO a couple of days ago,which is weird because Muscle cars are nearly inexistent in Spain,it was sky blue metalic,it was a convertible,it looked like the one in XXX/fast and furious but with no top.

Anyway,my favorites:

-Muscle=All of ´em,well,most of ´em.
-Sport=Subaru WRX sti/Nissan Skyline/New Ford GT/Honda S-2000.
-Truck/4X4=Hummer(NOT H2!)/Porche4X4/Dodge/Freelander 3-door and mostly any modern pick-up.
-Affordable cars I like(LOL!)=New mini S/Honda Civic R-Type/Normal Subaru/Renault Clio V6.
-Concept car:Mitsuoka Orotchi.

Camaro fans don't forget the COPO camaro 427 all aluminum heads an block in 1969. only 69 built less than 30 actually sold to the public before they were recalled by Chevy cause of a cost screwup. Anyway Ill take any 60's muscle car I love em all
