American tuners ... nice or rice?

[Lukev85]

yeah i dunno about that. The americans have styles some amazing cars.
Most of them drive like pigs though

I always wanted a 65 mustang until i drove one. Was just like driving my old XY falcon.
I have a real soft spot for the early stingrays too. Such a sexy car

Have you ever seen any of these cars? Build quality is s***, as someone said, they need brakes and suspension. They look mean and thats it.
Stingray is a good looking car on the outside, crap inside. It can be a cult car or whatever you wanna call it, but i still prefer everything about my R32

Has anybody ever driven any of these cars?

I've driven a number of Mustangs, a Chev Camaro and any number of Jeeps, various Chryslers and Dodges of varying vintages (not recent models). As I said in my earlier posts...the Yanks just don't get it.......no handling, no brakes, no finesse......more cubic inches to make up for the deficiencies elsewhere.

That they still don't get it is illustrated by the Viper.

I too love classic americans, camaros stangs and stingrays, plus a few other more odd balls the 68 dodge dart etc, but for the most part, especially in standard form, these cars are terrible. but then again, there are always upgrades you can do.

I only want one cause of the shape and the burblin V8, they're classics, nobody can deny that, the fact that they arn't too good at drving, just means you got to put a few extra hours into em!

Fair comment and it illustrates that we are all different with different likes and dislikes....nobody is right or wrong, we just have different tastes. Personally I like old pommie cars even though many may not have been terribly good cars they just appeal to me.

I still miss my 1970 Mini Cooper S......when minis were really minis!

Come on 4 Ltr V6 All-wheel drive no doubt with plenty of power, 20 in rims, etc. If they offered it here in Oz their would be plenty of buyers. Think about Holden and Ford owners who would love all wheel drive!!
