Muscle or Tuner?

Hello, everyone. Which is better, Muscle or Tuner?

Vote, and tell why which is better?

Muscle cars, with tire shredding performance and crazy 1/4 mile times, or the lighter, and more commonly agile Tuners?

Or maybe both? The F&F Tokyo Drift '68 Mustang had a modified Nissan Silvia engine, which was pretty cool. If you had a car like it, you could say you drive a Mustang, and also say it's a hybrid, too. :wink:

Vote! Your decision counts.

I like both, with Tuners you can go crazy making it your way and there inexpensive, but with Muscles you can easily gun it on the straights but on the turns, I'll use a tuner to drift.

I have the same opinion that mm2mm1fan. I like both Tuners and Muscles. In fact, in my dream garage would be a Ford Falcon and also a Toyota AE86 (and yes, Ford Falcon is considered a muscle car).

None. I enjoy my almost stock Dodge Neon. :)

Muscle, I'm not really a fan of tuners because they remind me of boyracers.

This is an eternal USA vs Japan match. :wink: I'm not fan of these kind of cars, I like few models of them. Having to choose, I pick tuners because of their technology and great handling.

I'm with Carking, but I do love my tuners. My two car garage would be a custom tuned Nissan Skyline r34 and a stock Mazda RX7 (some nice new rims would be a plus, though).

Well I do like some tuner cars like the Lancer or the Impreza. If I were given a choice of two cars from each class they would be the 1st facelift 2nd gen Subaru Impreza and a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback. Maybe little upgrades like a slightly rumblier exhaust for the Impreza. For the Mustang, a set of American Racing torq thrust wheels with BFGoodrich Slicks. 8)

Love the rear end of the '68. Would love one myself. Need to get pa's 70 mach 1 fastback running. Don't like the style as much, but loved the 428 super cobra jet.

What you can do with a Neon can MAKE it a tuner, even if it is American, though.

Dodge made a special celebrity race challenge that happened in the 90's, involving Dodge Neons. This is a picture of the 1994 versions at Belle Isle, which is a island in Detroit, if you did not know. They raced those cars there, too.

So the Neon has some racing pedigree.

Franch, what Muscle cars you think are cool? When you say "I like few models of them", I am just wondering what brand/model you like.

Everyone must like some Muscle car, right?
I'll tell you which ones I like later...

Keep those votes coming, if anyone just registered here lately or if you have not voted yet.

Speaking of classic ones, I like the 1960s Ford Mustang Fastback, it's an icon of muscle cars and still has a great design. There's also some 1970s Pontiac that I like.
I'm more fan of modern cars, though, and the modern muscle cars are being really cool, such as the actual and 2015 Mustang, this last will come officially also in Europe. I also love the modern Camaro and Challenger designs.
